Day three was the day of eating! We did the the Original Greenwich
Village Food Tour. It was delicious. Foods of New York puts on a great
tour. This was my second time doing a walking food tour. I love learning
about the culture of the village along with tasting all of the amazing
food that the neighborhood has to offer. Greenwich Village is probably
my favorite party of the city. It is so unique and has a charm to it. We
went to Joe's Pizza (hands down, the best pizza in NYC!!) O & Co
Olive oil shop, Faicco's Italian Specialties (holy cow, that rice ball was amazeballs!), Pesce Pasta (the cutest old lady from Italy runs it) Fafele Ristorante, Milk & Cookies Bakery (yum.) Murray's cheese shop(I never realized how much I love cheese until this place) & Rocco's Pasticceria (the BEST cannoli
I've ever had.. and I crave it all the time) Needless to say this food
tour was fabulous. Our tour guide Bert was hilarious and so nice. He
told us about some neat stories about the neighborhood. He showed us
where a few celebrities lived, the narrowest house in NYC, took us
downstairs into a secret bar that's in the basement of an old Italian
shop where locals perform on the weekends & even took us into
Cherry Lane Theatre. This Theatre is where Barbra Streisand had her
first job cleaning the stage, painting scenery & moving sets. She met the Millers who owned the Theatre & they she out
an exchange with the couple babysitting, and in return they gave her a
scholarship to Mr.Miller's acting school. It is so fun to learn all these cool
stories from the locals! Then we went back to our hotel took a nap and
freshened up for our Broadway. My favorite part of going to Broadways is
buying a dress for it! We went and saw The Lion King. It was POURING rain on our way to the theatre. Thank heavens our hotel was really close by. I really enjoyed the production. The music was stunning. We then
met up with a friend in the city for a late dinner at Juniors. Oh, how I
love the city!
