Description
The charming streets and brownstones of Greenwich Village have a rich history and culture of their own waiting to be discovered. There’s no better way to do this than through its food scene, as diverse as it is iconic. Trace the paths of beatnik poets, creatives, and immigrants as you step inside historic cafes and neighborhood favorites all while tasting the flavors that make this area so unique.
Explore Greenwich Village through its dynamic food scene. Begin your morning with a visit to a classic NYC bodega. These corner-shops line the landscape of the city and Greenwich Village is no exception. You’ll sample a classic American staple and true comfort food: the breakfast sandwich.
Next, it’s time to get a taste of the area’s roots at a fourth-generation pasta shop. Step inside and see the century-old pasta machine that continues to make this a local favorite. Sample some homemade pasta and ravioli made according to a secret traditional recipe.
You’d be sure to miss the next spot if you weren’t looking for it and it would be a shame. This Brazilian bakery specializes in a mouthwatering type of cheese puff made from yucca.
From there, it’s time for something sweet. Step inside one of New York's oldest Italian patisseries for a cannoli, which they still fill to order.
Home of beatnik poets, folk singers, and artists of all kinds, discover the creative flair of Greenwich Village with a trip down MacDougal Street. Learn more about the famous residents of these streets with a stop at a local espresso bar you might even recognize from the silver screen!
A trip to New York isn’t complete without sampling two classic dishes. First up is a slice of pizza from a Greenwich Village favorite and you’ll see why this Italian classic has become a staple of American cuisine.
Finally, you’ll stop at a local watering hole known for bringing the craft beer movement to NYC twenty years ago. Take a moment to reflect on your exploration with a steaming bowl of their famous grilled cheese and tomato soup.
