| I would encourage anyone to take this or any tour offered by Foods of New York. The Chelsea Market was fabulous, as was the inclusion of the Highline! Major bonus! Bob, our guide was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. As with all food tours, it gives you great insight into the neighborhood and new favorite places to go!! Don't eat prior, you'll get plenty of generous samples--YUM!! |

| Bob was our tour guide and he was fantastic! We got a little bit of everything -- local history, sightseeing, and of course, lots of great food. (We even had a surprise mini tour of a private brownstone in the neighborhood.) The tastings were the perfect amount of food. We left satisfied and enlightened. What a terrific afternoon! |

Good eats and info

| I went on this tour in 2006 and in 2009. Had fun and food both times. Would like a more little variety for this repeat customer. (We even had the same tour guide!) But that's nitpicking....the tour was definitely worth it. And I'd even do it a third time. |

| This is a must!!! What a great way to taste your way around the Chelsea Market. The food was fabulous & Darryl, our tour guide, was the best. This is one of our favorite things we did while in New York City. |

| This was my first food tour and I would highly recommend it. I plan on trying some of the other food tours in the future. Our tour guide was great, he was very friendly and did a great job explaining all the history and details of the tour. All the food tastings that we received were delicious. I also felt the cost of th tour was well worth it. |

| My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our Food Tour. There was a great variety of options available, and the guide was wonderfully sensitive to the allergies present in our group. Our one criticism would be the lack of food available outside of the Chelsea Market- despite visiting a number of restaurants in the Meatpacking District, we actually only ate at 1 restaurant outside of the Market. More time spent in the area would have been great.
Thank you for such a great institution! |

| I am a tour guide and generally overly critical of tours. This tour was top notch. The tour started on time. The leader was prepared and excited to do the tour. He was very warm and professional. He introduced the group to each other and knew our names right away. The visits to various locations were most informative and food was fabulous. I took this same tour two years ago and wondered if I would like it as well as the first time and it did not disappoint. Don't be on the fence with this tour, sign up. |

| we met our tour guide who was from the area and knew a lot about the city and it's history - also lots of information about the green movement in New York, very cool.
Ok the food. we started with a bakery which had these amazing cookies with lots of goodies in them. we spent a large portion of the time in this cute, very historic mall/food court, which was once formerly a meat packing company. we sample lots of yumming food. love the cheese and crackers at the specialty shop. the last place to eat was this old italian restuarant with a lot of history and wonderfully made home pasta.
overall, I would recommend the tour if you really want to experience chelsea. |
