Activity itinerary

Apollo Bagels

  • 20m
The food tour will start at Apollo Bagels, one of the most popular bagel shops in the East Village. Here, we'll try a hand-rolled New York-style everything bagel with a schmear of cream cheese.

Ray's Candy Store

  • 20m
The next stop is the one-and-only Ray's Sweets Store, a tiny East Village icon that's been open since 1974 and is still run by 92-year-old Ray Alvarez. Here, you'll try a classic NYC chocolate egg cream and a fried Oreo, two of Ray's most famous treats. This cult-classic spot has been featured on Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown and Humans of New York.

Titi's Empanadas

  • 20m
The next stop is Titi's Empanadas, a family-run hidden gem bringing the flavours of Venezuela to the East Village. Here, you'll try a handmade empanada with a golden, crispy shell and bold, flavourful fillings.

St. Mark's Place

  • 20m
The tour also takes you down St. Mark's Place, one of the most legendary streets in New York City and the cultural heart of the East Village. Once home to punk rockers, poets, and artists, this iconic three-block stretch still buzzes with energy, music, and personality.

Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti Album Cover Location

  • 5m
The tour also takes you past the iconic building featured on the cover of Led Zeppelin's 1975 album Physical Graffiti. Located on St. Mark's Place, this East Village landmark has also appeared in the Rolling Stones' "Waiting on a Friend" music video and is a must-see stop for any music fan visiting New York City.

Porto Rico Importing Co.

  • 10m
The tour also takes you past Porto Rico Importing Co., one of the oldest coffee shops in New York City. Founded in 1907, this iconic spot has sacks of freshly roasted beans piled high and the rich smell of coffee in the air. You'll have a chance to step inside and purchase a cup of coffee or a bag of beans to take home.

East Village Meat Market

  • 25m
The next food stop is East Village Meat Market, a Ukrainian butcher shop and true area institution. Here, you'll sample their house-made pierogi alongside kielbasa and kabanos sausage with spicy mustard. It's one of the last shops of its kind in New York City, and a delicious taste of the East Village's Eastern European heritage.

McSorley's Old Ale House

  • 10m
Next, we'll walk past McSorley's Old Ale House, one of the oldest continuously operating bars in New York City. Opened in 1854, this iconic spot has sawdust on the floors, walls covered in over a century of memorabilia, and just two beers on the menu (light or dark).

The Donut Pub

  • 20m
We'll finish the tour at The Donut Pub, one of New York's oldest donut spots that's been serving up fresh, hand-made donuts for over 60 years. Here, you'll get to try a selection of their best-selling donuts, hand-picked by your guide.
