Itinerary
To begin, your native New York guide will teach you what to look for when choosing an classic New York-style bagel (and, of course, you will get to eat it too!) We will continue our tour at a local spaghetti and meatball shop and learn the secret history behind this classic "Italian" dish.
Your tour will include a stop at a local cupcake bakery, where you can take a trip back to your childhood, as you admire the charming schoolhouse fixtures and their vintage board game and lunchbox collection. They also make the sweetest little treat this side of the Hudson.
After the bakery, you will get to try the very best "regular slice" of pizza in the city, and this Brooklyn girl agrees! After exploring some of the most beautiful and winding cities of the Village, we will check out one of the hottest gourmet doughnut shops in the city!
Along the way, your guide will share with you some of the Village's secret history and what makes it such a unique enclave of New Amsterdam and Old New York. Oh, and, of course, there is our amazing Secret Dish, as well!
