Toast to Village legends at 2 of the West Village’s most famous and notorious bars – including a former speakeasy and a bar that was one of the main hangouts of the Beat Generation. The first beer at each venue is on us!
What to expect
Join a New York pizza, beer and history tour. Check out the best pizza and beer in Greenwich Village, a historical and cultural mecca on the West side, with the help of a licensed tour guide. You'll enjoy learning interesting tidbits and increasing your cultural knowledge, all while savouring 3 pizza samplings and 2 beer tastings.No neighbourhood does pizza quite like Greenwich Village, with everything from amazing coal-fired thin-crust pies to traditional New York slices dripping with mozzarella cheese and oil, to newer "pizzaioli" (pizza makers), many recent immigrants from Italy, who are showcasing how pizza is cooked in their home regions in the Old Country. People have been eating pizza in the neighbourhood for decades, and your guides have scouted out 3 amazing spots to try 3 different styles of pizza. Examine what makes each so unique, from inspiration to ingredients, to ovens.Drinking in Greenwich Village has always been as big a part of the culture as music, painting and writing. Not even a little thing like Prohibition stopped the party - the Village was home to some of New York’s most famous speakeasies, and you'll enjoy a beer at one of its better-known former speakeasies. Learn how they snuck in the booze and kept their customers from getting arrested while enjoying drinks in the bars that helped transform Greenwich Village into “The Village” -- as much a state of mind as a physical neighbourhood.
