Would you agree that the Upper West Side is a slig Would you agree that the Upper West Side is a slightly underrated part of Manhattan among visitors? 🤔

If you don’t know much about the Upper West Side, the best way to explore it is with a walking tour so you can see the main highlights as well as some hidden gems 🚶🏼‍♀️

We decided to take a fun food tour of the Upper West Side with @tasty_tours_nyc so we could also check out some of the popular eateries in the area 🤩

This food tour in NYC offers a great range of food tastings, including pizza, delicious bagels, hotdogs, and a stop at the very popular @magnolia for a sweet treat at the end of the experience (just to name a few stops) 🧁

We even visited a filming location for Only Murders in the Building! 🇺🇸

One of my favourite parts of Manhattan is Greenwic One of my favourite parts of Manhattan is Greenwich Village 🤩

It’s a beautiful part of NYC to walk around, with plenty of hidden gems, quirky cafes, and places to eat tucked around every corner ☕️

If you’re only visiting NYC for a couple of days, the best way to experience the charming West Village is by taking The Original Greenwich Village Food & Culture Tour with @foodsofnytours 

The tour consists of stopping at a mixture of cozy restaurants, specialty food shops, and learning all about the history of the area 🧀

It lasts for 3 hours and I’d highly recommend arriving on an empty stomach because you get to try a lot of locally made food along the way! 😮‍💨
