It was great that Mei was able to find delicious bars and restaurants that suited my tastes on the run. We didn’t do the usual places, but a really nice little bar for nibbles and drinks, a Vietnamese cafe and Spanish restaurant. I like tasty little flavour bombs rather than pizza, and this really delivered. Great bites but most memorable was the pan cont tomate at the Spanish restaurant. I also enjoyed the stroll through Greenwich and West Villages with Mei’s commentary.

Maurita was fantastic! She guided our family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 kids under the age of 12, through local eateries with a touch of history. The history and culture part were interesting enough for the adults and not too boring for the kids. Which is a definite win. The kids thought they were just eating their way through the city, but little did they know they were learning some historical tidbits, Thats a definite win in my book. Highly recommend Maurita. She was a fantastic guide :)
