If your looking for something different to do while in NYC...definately add this to you list. Gets you away from the tourists & crowds of people in Times Square. Gives you an opportunity to take in a different part of the city and I found it very enjoyable & informative. Definately worth adding to your list of events while taking in the sites. |

I made the reservations because my mother loves the Food Network. It did not disappoint, in fact it surpassed my expectations and we were thrilled with our guide Samson. My mother, Carol, is "mobility-challenged" and uses a scooter. Samson made sure she was not lost in the back and made every effort to accomodate her. Samson was knowledgeable, humorous and entertaining. For anyone who likes to combine food AND history, this tour should not be missed. |

I would do it again in a hearbeat !!!! |

Our guide Kurt went over and above the call of duty to give us and the rest of our group a wonderful experience. The things we saw and tasted were puctuated by the information and experience that Kurt brought to the tour.
I would definitely not only recomend the tour to anyone who is a "foodie" but I will take the tour again the next time I am in NYC!
A wonderful experience--a highlight of our week! |

Never knew about the Chelsea Market....now we do!! What a fabulous place for the tour and what a building! Sampson was wonderful and we learned lots of interesting info about the building. Lots of food...more than I thought we would have. Highly recommend to visitors or locals who have not been in the meatpacking district. |

It was a terrific tour of the Chelsea market. The food was great (especially liked the Italian grocery and all the samples we tasted) and we found it very interesting. The tour of the outside area was not necessary though. It seems like that could have beeen done as a separate tour. I would recommend this tour though. Bring your appetites! We had a great time! |

We enjoyed the tour in the meatpacking district. It was interesting to hear the history of the meatpackers and the area and see the changes that are occuring with the influx of shops, bars etc. The Chelsea Market is historically also fascinating and a great concept of food shopping. |
