The Greenwich Village Italian Food Guided Walking Tour in New York City operates Tuesday through Saturday starting at St. Anthony of Padua Church, 153 Sullivan Street in SoHo, Manhattan. On Sundays, the meeting point is Faicco's at 260 Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. The tour lasts about two to three hours and covers less than one mile on foot. It is led by a licensed local guide with Italian family roots in the neighborhood dating back to 1884. Groups are limited to eight participants. The tour begins at St. Anthony of Padua Church, the first church built in the Americas for Italian Catholics, where visitors see the Romanesque interior featuring a marble altar and Corinthian columns. Next, participants sample a Brazilian Brigadeiro sweet, Italian cheese bread, and prosciutto. The walk continues to a family-owned pasta shop established in 1907, where ravioli and Italian rice pudding are served. Then the group visits a coffee shop known for more than 100 varieties of coffee and tea. The tour proceeds to a century-old Italian specialty store to try arancini (rice balls), bocconcini cheese, meatballs, and bread for dipping sauce. After that, the last Italian pastry shop and bakery in Greenwich Village is included on the route. The walking portion also includes Father Demo Square, where visitors see a church bell tower and fountain reflecting the neighborhood’s Italian-American heritage. The tour passes by Our Lady of Pompeii Church, an Italianate building from 1892 that holds Sunday Mass in four languages: English, Italian, Portuguese, and Tagalog/Filipino. Other sights include the Tira a Segno Rifle Club and Bleecker Street. Throughout the tour, the guide shares local history, music, and family stories. Food samples are small bites and do not constitute a full meal. Samples and stops may change. The tour operates in all weather conditions; appropriate dress is recommended. No alcohol or smoking is permitted. Participants must inform the guide of any food allergies or dietary restrictions before the tour begins.
