“We wanted to see Lower Manhattan on our latest trip to NYC. SO why not a Walking Food Tour? We reserved a spot with GregWalksNYC for a chance to see Little Italy and Greenwich Village. What a treat!

“Patrick was one of the best guides we’ve had. He was very knowledgeable, spoke clearly, and very approachable. He pointed out items throughout the tour that we would have walked right by, but these really made the tour interesting. We went to Chelsea Market, High Line, Meat Packing District, Greenwich Village, and SoHo. We saw architecture, art, literature, music, neighborhoods, etc. I highly recommend this tour; you will never view NYC the same.”
