The food tour
Of all the days to go on a walking food tour around Greenwich Village we pick the day it practically rains the majority of the time. My cousin and I decided to trudge on regardless (with our mums ditching us with no hesitation). Nevertheless, it's food (no regrets). Our tour guide was really nice and informative; learning a lot while stuffing my face. The portions were small as we were only sampling. However during the tour, there were opportunities to stop at particular places and dine.
Food tour pit stops
First pit stop: Artichoke pizza
Speciality: Artichoke pizza no soggy pizza base, creamy cheese sauce and the artichoke
Verdict: Extremely delicious, if it wasn't for the fact that we were going different places to yam food, I would of risked two slices (you already know I'm greedy)
Second pit stop: Mamoun's Falafel Restaurant
Speciality: Falafel's.... obvyyyy!!!
Fun fact: The first ever to sell falafel's in New York
Verdict: The crispest yet moistest falafel I have had. Must try with the both their sauces (tahini and spicy). I had two (much more needed however....)
Third pit stop: Faicco's
Fun fact: Family run business, been around for an extremely long time

Look at the crispness and the anticipation of stuffing my face!!!!
Fourth pit stop: Bleecker Street
