Greenwich Village: Pizza, Desserts & History Food Tour
Our Greenwich Village Food Tour explores the restaurants, shops, food, and architecture of one of Manhattan's most historic neighborhoods.
Greenwich Village is a visitor favorite for visitors and locals alike for its shady, winding streets with 19th Century houses, its bohemian roots, and historic Washington Square Park.
But the Village's tree-lined streets are also lined with some of the best restaurants and food specialty shops in all of the Big Apple.
You'll crunch your sweet tooth with scrumptious desserts, indulge in prosciutto arancini (rice balls) from a shop 100 years old, and eat falafel at one of the first Middle Eastern establishments in the United States.

Start your tour outside Waverly Diner. Another iconic spot in Greenwich Village is the Waverly Diner, a timeless eatery with a classic retro vibe. Known for its hearty breakfast options, juicy burgers, and comforting milkshakes, the diner has been a beloved neighborhood staple for decades. Its cozy atmosphere and friendly service make it the perfect place to enjoy a casual meal while soaking in the historic charm of the Village.
Nestled within the heart of Greenwich Village lies one of New York City's smallest and quirkiest landmarks, the Hess Triangle. This tiny triangular sliver of real estate, measuring just 25.5 inches by 27.5 inches, is embedded into the sidewalk at the corner of Christopher Street and Seventh Avenue South. Inscribed with the words, “Property of the Hess Estate Which Has Never Been Dedicated for Public Purposes,” it serves as a defiant reminder of a historical property dispute. The triangle was created in 1910 when the Hess family's building was claimed by the city to make way for a subway expansion. After the family lost their court battle over the property, they retained this minuscule piece of land and turned it into a symbol of protest. Today, the Hess Triangle remains a fascinating piece of New York history, embodying the spirit of resistance and individuality that defines the city's character.
