• • No headsets, or branding - we look like any other group of friends out for a night in the Village

Village Nights offers a unique evening food crawl for those who enjoy walking, talking, and dining in one of the world’s most influential neighborhoods.

The adventure begins at Astor Place and often includes a visit to the city’s oldest bar. Regardless of the stops, participants will savor delicious food while exploring the rich history of this remarkable area.

This is not your typical food tour. There is no set route. Instead, a skilled, licensed guide gauges the group’s interests (up to 8 participants) and selects from a wide array of options to create a personalized, memorable, and distinctive experience.

Our guides are licensed professionals who continually expand their knowledge of New York. This allows us to host spontaneous events that feel less like scripted tours and more like a diverse group of friends enjoying a food crawl in the city.

Participants should wear comfortable clothing and be ready to walk, as the tour covers a lot of ground and often involves eating while standing.
