Last summer while in NYC I went on several tours that were run by Free Tours By Foot. The tours that I was specially excited about were the food tours. Shocker! 😉 I have shared with you my experience of the Chinatown Food Tour and the Lower East Side Food Tour. Now let me tell you about the Greenwich Food Tour. You will notice that for this post I am using a different format to display the pictures. The reason being that this tour was not all about the food, instead a portion of the tour was spent exploring Greenwich Village. Personally I enjoy the 2 for 1 experience of having a walking tour and a food tour. That said, I know that many people disagree. I get it, if you signed up for a food your you want it to be about food. Sadly you will find that every tour guide is different, and you may get one that deviates from the focus of the tour. In this case, food.

*Note, we also stopped at Faiccos Rice Balls and Bleeker Street Pizza, but I was too full to eat anything else.

I arrived to the meeting spot early, so I walked around the corner and chilled out at Joe’s.

I got a passion fruit ice tea.

Lot’s of goodies on display.

Oh, and I did a little shopping before the tour. I recommend that you do your shopping afterwards because it became annoying having to carry this bag around.

Random mural on our way to our first stop.

Ok, food! Seriously, this area has everything you could possibly want at affordable prices.

1st stop, Mamoums Falafel. It was packed so our guide took our orders and went inside to get them for us. This place is tiny!

Sad attempt to get a picture of the menu. Here is the link to their menu: http://mamouns.com/menu-2. So annoying that they do not have prices. I hate when establishments do not put the prices online.

I got 3 falafels for $1. They were steaming hot. So good!

Sauces. Be careful, their hot sauce is hot! And I like my food spicy.

People crowding around Mamouns. You will probably end up eating standing up. There is very limited seating.

2nd stop, Artichoke pizza.

Here you have the artichoke pizza. Note, this is a very creamy and rich slice of pizza and quite salty too. I recommend that you share the slice.

Again, eating outside because there is next to no sitting available.

Apparently this is where the “Central Perk” scenes were filmed for Friends.

On my own I decided to check out Molly’s Cupcakes. This shop was not part of the tour, but the tour guide came with me anyway..

The options!

I chose the peanut butter and nutella cupcake.
