A rare evening Food Crawl, Village Nights is designed for people who want to walk and talk and eat in one of the most influential neighborhoods on earth.
Village Nights starts at Astor Place and often stops at the oldest bar in the city, but no matter where we go, we’ll eat great food and weave together the narrative of this truly incredible place.
BUT this is not your normal food tour. We don't follow a fixed route. Instead the experienced, licensed guide will get the pulse of the group (max 8 participants) and draw from a big bag of options to make each experience a little more personal, memorable, and unique.
We’re licensed, professional guides who are always learning more about New York. That’s how we can run organic events that are less scripted and more like an eclectic group of friends out for a food crawl in the city.
Wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to walk. We cover a lot of ground and often eat standing up.
A TOUR FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T LOVE TOURS
We start at the historical heart of Manhattan, Astor Place, where the Lenape congregated for hundreds of years before the arrival of Europeans. THIS IS A SAMPLE ITINERARY. We take input from the group, then draw from a big bag of options to make each outing unique.
Start with a cheese plate and a beer at McSorley's - the oldest continuously operating bar in New York. Abe Lincoln drank here, and the place is absolutely dripping with curios and artifacts, since nothing's been removed from the walls since 1910.
They make their tortillas in house and they're maybe the best in the city. This place doesn't draw the eye but the food is outstanding and the staff is cool af.
