Chelsea Market/Meatpacking Dist Food Tasting Tour

last year on mother's day weekend my mom & i did the greenwich village food tour & it was AAAAAAAAAAMAZING!!! we learned great history about the area & there was ALOT of tastings leaving us stuffed at the end of the tour. this year we wanted to do chelsea market/meatpacking figuring GREAT FOOD and great history. NOT SO. chelsea market had some AMAZING history and so many interesting facts that i would have never known about. there were only a few tastings in the whole place. we were not full when we ventured off to the meatpacking district but figured we for sure would have a few amazing tastings there. NOT SO. we only had ONE tasting at the very end and although we loved the history part of the tour, we were hungry when it was over. this tour was nothing food-wise compared to our tour last year. i hope they take this review into consideration for the next groups! add more food tastings! there's some great restaurants in the meatpacking...use them!

I did the greenwhich and chealse tours and both were equally amazing! Where else can you try little things from many different resturanants all day! I was very excited and every time I go to NY I will try to see whatelse they have going on

I would go on this tour again only for the food! It was so good. Our tour guide was excellent. We took a few other tours on our trip but this was by far the best!

To be honest we were a bit apprehensive right after we booked our tour. We didn't want to be locked down to a specific time frame in one area of New York. However, we are truly glad we did. Darryl was our guide and he was great! The tour allowed us to find out some great facts about the history of Chelsea Market and also provided some great samples of food, which I would have never tried some if not for the tour, and all the food was fantastic. Looking back, it was one of the best things we did while in New York.

great tour

This was our second tour with Foods of New York (we also did the Greenwich tour last year) and we loved it! The food is fantastic the insight and information abut the neighborhood was facinating and the guide was great. We look forward to a new trip being added to the mix - we will definately be back to take it if it happens!

Our group of 12 girlfriends were met by our tour guide Darryl right on time. I was thinking that we might need to plan a late lunch after the tour, but we were just STUFFED by the end of the tour. Chelsea is a neighborhood none of us had visited before, but we`ll be back. Be sure to bring a shopping bag with you to bring home all those fantastick goodies you`ll want to stock up on after the tour.

What a great time. We really felt like we knew the area by the time the tour had concluded. Our guide was fabulous and it was obvious that she enjoyed her work. We enjoyed learning about the history of the area and what the various restaurants were known for. Of course the food sampling was more than good it was great! Our next trip to NYC will definately include dining and shopping in this area.

Cindy did an outstanding job ! The tour was just the right length (3 hours) and interesting.

3 hours FLY by as you work your way through Chelsea Market with a small group and a fun/knowledgeable guide. Well organized stops with food samples and a chance to learn about the history and other facts about Chelsea Market. Tour continues with a walk on the Highline and the Meat Packing District ending with a "seated" sampling at a local steakhouse. We came away full of good food, great ideas for return trips and lots of interesting information about this historic area. Well worth it!!
