About the mini East Village food tour with 2 members of Everton FC

Two members of Everton FC in Liverpool were spotted in the East Village last week — and their visit wasn’t as random as it seemed. 

On Thursday, Dave on 7th caught a glimpse of Youssef Chermiti and Beto outside Tompkins Square Bagels on Avenue A near 10th Street. The English Premier League players were in town for the Premier League Summer Series, a set of friendlies at MetLife Stadium featuring Everton, Bournemouth, Manchester United, and West Ham United, which took place yesterday. 

As part of the visit, the two Everton strikers joined "NYC food aficionado" Matt James on a local tour, with stops including Bobwhite Counter on Avenue C and Danny and Coop’s on Avenue A. (Spoiler: The players said the Philly cheesesteaks were their favorites.) 

Here’s a clip from their bagel break...

By the way, Everton lost 3-0 at MetLife.
