Right in the heart of Greenwich Village in New York City, Mamoun’s Falafel has been serving up high quality, authentic Middle Eastern food since 1971.

Since the opening of their first store of Artichoke Basille’s Pizza in New York City’s East Village in 2008, the owners have expanded to twelve hugely successful locations across the country. Photo/movingforwardconsulting.com 

Nice Guy Tours stops at Artichoke Pizza on its Greenwich Village Tour. It’s pretty much the best slice I’ve ever had that doesn’t include tomato sauce. OK, it’s one of the best period. Photo/Moving Forward Consulting

Food Network is a fan and you will be, too.

Thanks Cyndi Stone Holland for sending this pic of me at @pommesfritesnyc after a tour. She said it captured me and the tour perfectly. I appreciate it!

Miles and miles of Artichoke Basille’s Pizza. So delicious it’s crazy.  📷: Moving Forward Consulting- NY

Aracini in the City. The best rice balls are at Faicco’s. Hands down.

Passing around some arancini (rice balls) at Faicco’s​. These are so good it’ll almost make you forget about the cold. Almost.  📷: Cortney Armitage for Moving Forward Consulting.

Hey, who took my piece? The Nonna Maria slice at Bleecker Street Pizza is epic, and I use that term in a cool way. Everyone says “epic” now, but seriously this slice lives up to that word.

How can you not be excited when you’re about to eat the best falafel in New York City at Mamoun’s?

My other favorite pie – Artichoke Basille’s! This unique slice is also the best – rich, creamy with a crispy double crust. It’s simply delicious.    

I’m always excited even anxious to wait for my tour to get started. I begin my Greenwich Village tours at Molly’s Cupcakes.
