| Took Village tour 3 years ago, jumped on the Chelsea tour as soon as I returned to NY.
Todd does an excellent job as a local resident of the area. We felt as though we were being shown the area by a friend. My blind companion enjoyed Todd's articulate and visual discriptions.
I'll be back. |

| 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. |

| We really had a great time, the guide was very nice, helpful, had a good knowledge about the area and specialties. All the foods/bev we tasted were great.
I would highly recommend the tour.

| 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.
