| Entertaining and interesting overview of both Chelsea and Meat Packing District with nice samples from local stores which resulted in me going back to Chelsea Market several times to eat and drink. Guide was very helpful with other suggestions on where to go in the area. |

An excellent tour of the area.

| We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone traveling to New York. It was very interesting and informative and a great opportunity to get a little insight and history on a most fascinating area of the city. Our guide, Darrel, was funny, knowledgeable, entertaining and gracious. He took our preferences into consideration and tailored the tour to suit the needs of the group. The tour was just the right combination of information, walking and great food. |

| The history was great. Cindy was great. The food was not as interesting/varied as your Greenwich Village tour, and because it was all in the Market itself, several from my group were very familiar with the shops. They would have preferred more outside the area. My non -meat person, said the last stop--where she got penne with tomato sauce was disappointing. perhaps using vegies, or fish instead of oxtail. Also too much cookie/scone/bread. There were no vegies or fruits at all. Starting off with cookies was not great! |

| This was the second tour I have taken with Foods of New York - and I have been lucky to have Kurt both times! Kurt is very enthusiastic and energetic - a great personality to discover this area. The markets were great and the food samplings were all delicious. We ended up going back to the market on our own and to one of the restaurants in the Meatpacking District for dinner a couple of weeks later. The tour is a great opportunity to get to know about stores and restaurants that you would not get by going it alone! |

| The tour was not only ample in food and variety - but a "view" on the origin, evolution of not only the food but the district was fantastic. I would most certainly recommend this tour - Curtis was fantastic and our group was great in energy. I don't see how you could not have a great time. |
