We try to come every year in October to NYC. The Foods of New York Tours have really added to our experience and we always find a new, exciting restaurant to try as a result . Our tour guide was so easy and friendly with the group, as well as informative. She was helpfpul with visiting tips also. We will come back!

We assembled with our guide on time at the market. Our guide , Bob was charming, funny and very well informed. It was obvious that he really enjoyed his job. We tasted many delicious foods within Chelsea Market and we learned all about the area and its history. We continued onto the HighLine which was a new experience and we were all delighted with the information Bob provided about the area. Our last stop in the meatpacking district was a gourmet delight and we all left satisfied educationally and with full stomachs. We are looking forward to another experience in the spring with Food Tours.

Chelsea Market/Meat Packing District Uncovered!
Thu, Oct 8  11:30 AM SonnyTedra Female 50-59 Local Individual
Chelsea Market took on new meaning during this tour due in large part to our guide Diana...The market came to life after Diana disclosed the history of its owner Irwin Cohen, and the amazing vision he had for developing it. The food offered at all the stops we made was fresh, delicious and plentiful, and the shop keepers were not only prepared with our "samples," but seemed pleased to see us all there. Diana was well versed in all questions culinary, and was happy to exchange stories with us as well. Our walk into the meat packing district was a 'real New York neighborhood story', full of anecdotal reference to ghosts of 14 Street's past, after which we all had a very vivid picture of what the area was like compared to what it is now. The icing on the cake moment came when we approached Little West 12th street near Pastis, where we all thought the tour would end, but Diana escorted us across the street to a wonderful example of a family owned and operated Italian restaurant where we we served our last sampling of food of the area, penne with oxtail ragu...Yummmmmmm! We will certainly try another tour and request Diana again soon! We had a great experience.

Great food, great history -- and a bargain! When they say you won't need lunch after the tour, they mean it. This tour is a MUST!

All "Foodies" Will Love This Tour

Kurt was fantastic -- soooo knowledgeable and entertaining! Loved to see how someone had the vision to make something out of nothing -- Chelsea Market Place is a true treasure --- and to eat and "graze" all along the tour was so much fun. Would recommend it to all our friends --- we did many of the "touristy" NY sites -- but this would rank right up there on top for us.

Kurt was our tour guide and he was energetic and funny. He did a great job of making us feel really comfortable and we all loved the tour. Great job, Kurt. Why don't you take a break and get a bite to eat? Phyllis

The tour was both enjoyable and fun, Curt (red head) was very knowledgeable, and made sure to include everyone. It was a little hard to hear everything he said when we left Chelse Market and ventured outside, but I still wouldn't have eliminated anything. Thanks for a great time. wendy p
