| This is the second year that we have taken this tour. We brought our husbands this time. We loved it and Kirk was our guide and as ever, he was great fun and very informative. The only thing that I would say is that last year we had a bit more detail about the history of the building. Also I think the "salt" portion could be replaced with something else. Not many people are into salt these days. Having said all that, I would still highly recommend the tour to friends. |

| This was our 2nd year on this tour. Kirk is probably one of the best tour guides I have ever met! He was very informative and was exceptionally knowledgeable about not only the area, but about New York in general. We were all impressed how he worked on learning everyone's name...much better accomplishment than those of us in the group!!! His sense of humor kept us laughing as the 3 hours flew by!!!
Only one recommendation - many of us are cutting back on salt and I really wasn't impressed by tasting the different types of sea salts. Every other tasting we did was absolutely superb!
I will definitely recommend this to everyone!

| We all (various ages of participants) very much enjoyed this activity. We have never been to the Chelsea Market and would definitely go back again on our own. |

| We all enjoyed the Chelsea Market tour this past Saturday. It's too bad you can't incorporate a tour of the food shows that take place upstairs. We did know this was not included in the tour, but it would be fun to even see the studios. Also, we were nervous about the weather this past Satuday as the weatherman was calling for torrential rain and wind, and your organization was very accomodating to us, even offering a different day. As it turned out, it did rain heavy in the morning, but the sun was shining by the end of a very wonderful day and I am so glad we went. |

| This was my third tour with Foods of New York. My first was the Greenwich Village with Todd as my guide. There were only three in the group (which were all my friends) so it was nice and personal. I loved it so much I had my husband join me at my next visit in NYC and I still enjoyed it the second time. This was my first tour of the Chelsea Market and Todd did a great job. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend these tours to anyone visiting New York and who especially wants to avoid the Times Square tourist areas.

| Darryl, our tour guide, was hilarious and very knowledgeable. He made our tour fun, relaxed, and entertaining. A trip to NYC would not be complete without going on a food tour especially to the Chelsea Mkt / Meatpacking district area. This was our very first food tour so we did not know what to expect...we were pleasantly surprised and recommend this tour highly. The food was tasty and awesome. |
