Come explore one of the most vibrant and historic neighborhoods in New York City. This tour will take you on a journey through the streets of Greenwich Village, where you’ll explore the culture, history, and food of this iconic neighborhood.
Greenwich Village has long been an epicenter for grass roots activism and social change, so it’s only right our food tour reflects this history by highlighting some of the best small businesses owned and operated by women, immigrants, and people of color. Your team will have the opportunity to learn and experience hands on the diverse cultures of NYC.
We’ll begin our tour in Washington Square Park, where you’ll see the famous arch and fountain, and learn about the park’s history as a hub for protests, rallies, and performances. From there, we’ll walk along the charming streets of Greenwich Village, past historic brownstones and iconic buildings.
As we walk, we’ll see some of the neighborhood’s most famous landmarks, including the Stonewall Inn, the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, and the former homes of literary giants like Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Twain.
Our corporate tours are completely customizable to meet your exact wants and needs. With two tour levels, Standard or Deluxe, we will work with you to craft the one of a kind experience you’re dreaming of!

On your tour you will hear the term “social impact”, but what does that really mean? For us, social impact is making sure that we have a positive impact on the communities we live and work in, as well as the amazing places we explore with our tours. We believe that truly experiencing a place “like a local” means having meaningful engagement that supports local, community-based organizations and learning about their causes and the people making them happen. Just as we carefully select the places you’ll visit and the food you’ll try, we have also carefully selected our social impact partners to showcase the amazing work being done in our communities. Your patronage on our tours is a small act to help these initiatives flourish. We want to help our visitors explore NYC on an authentic level and make sure that we are all having a positive impact while doing it.

She had years of gaps in her resume, not a whole lot of work experience and no idea of what sort of career she wanted.Eventually, Janie began to bake again, something that had always brought her joy as a child.Janie goes above and beyond in giving back to her community – providing second chance employment, teaching baking classes to underprivileged youth in East Harlem, and donating time and cookies to local community centers and homeless shelters.
