| Fabulous introduction to Chelsea market and wide variety of food tastings. Great history of the meatpacking district and how it will change in the coming future. |

| it was a great deal, we had gourmet food like lobster bisque. a unique way to experience the city, in a up and coming neighbourhood! interesting to see the forces of gentrification in action. |

| A great way to gain insight into a neighborhood's past and present, I have already recommeded the tour to our neighbors who will be in New York later in the month.
Highly recomend this and the Greenwich tour which we took last year.
Please continue to expand the tours to other neighborhoods. |

| Outstanding! First of all, kudos to Foods of NY for their integrity, with NYC empty during the RNC we were the only two customers and the tour was not canceled – we benefited from a private tour. The lead guide Todd was a lively and enthusiastic walking encyclopedia on the history of the building complex, the area and of course about foods; his understudy Kurt would have been impressive by himself. At every eatery we visited the staff beamed as we arrived, clearly the guides are well liked and as customers we enjoyed the extra attention. Our other tour with Cindy in Greenich Village was also great.
By contrast, for Sunday we had also booked an eating tour with Big Onion Tours in the Lower East Side. As a crowd gathered at the meeting place I inquired about the size of the group; they do 35 customers per guide and consume part of the tour time collecting payment from that many people. Needless to say, we walked away.

| Although we expected the tour to take place through out the streets, the tour was very informative and entertaining and we learned a lot of New York City history. We enjoyed seeing the change in the type of business coming to the area. The food was excellent. We highly recommendi it! |

| We all absolutely loved the tour. It was informative, funny, interesting and all the food was just amazing.
Our guide was incredibly knowlegable about the Chelsea/West Village district and I felt like we gained insights that we could not have picked up from books or independent exploration.
We will definitely try the Greenwich Village food tour on our next trip.
We did several walking tours during our trip and this was without a doubt the best by a long shot.
Even for those who think that walking tours are not for them, I would encourage them to give this tour a try.

| I would highly recommend this tour. It was very entertaining and informative. The guide is enthusiastic and knowledgeable which made the activity more fun. It gives you the chance to see the smaller details of the areas involved that you wouldn't normally notice. Because I live close to New York City I've been able to go back to the places we saw on the tour that I wouldn't have known about. |
