Greenwich Village is one of the last remaining, "neighborhoods," in New York City where you can find the butcher, the baker, and even the mozzarella cheese maker all within walking distance of each other. You can find most of what your heart and mouth desire on the neighborhood's life line of sorts, Bleecker Street.

New York City is world famous for its pizza featuring wide, thin slices, and huge pies that barely fit in delivery boxes. Some claim that the crust's unique flavor comes from the city's tap water that's used to make the dough. Whether or not that's true, something makes New York's pizza undisputedly delicious.

With tea quickly going the same way as coffee as the next "It" drink (read: over-commercialized), you may wonder where you can relax with something that still feels authentic, sparing yourself from the now ubiquitous chai latte from Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks. Don't despair: in New York City, there's a teahouse for every palette: modern and chic, cozy and quaint, or simply a traditional cup of good tea.
