Overview

A rare evening food crawl through Greenwich Village, Village Nights is for people who want to walk, talk, and eat their way through one of the most influential mega-hoods on earth.

We start at Astor Place and usually stop at one of the city’s oldest bars - but the route is never the same. We don't follow a fixed path. Instead, your licensed, experienced guide reads the vibe of the group (max 8 guests) and curates a personal mix of bites, stories, and hidden corners.

And because our guide isn't wearing branding, we look less like a tour group and more like an eclectic group of friends out for a night on the town.

We cover plenty of ground, and often eat on our feet, so please wear comfortable shoes and come hungry for food, and to soak up that big nighttime Village energy.

What's Included

  • - Delicious food from 4-5 quality food spots. You’ll be full!
  • - Smaller group size. Capped at 8.
  • - Friendly, licensed, and professional NYC Guide
  • - A variety of drinks are available throughout the tour, at your discretion.
  • - No headsets, or branding - we look like any other group of friends out for a night in the Village
