| Even NYC residents enjoy this 3 hour feasting and walking tour! My friend and I met two NYC residents who had taken both the Greenwich Village and the Meatpacking tour with Eric and thoroughly enjoyed each tour.
This adventure is the perfect combination of feasting on varied taste treats from the Chelsea Market to "inside trivia and tips" about the building, the tenants, the family-owned companies, the restaurants, the past, present and future of the Meatpacking district, a local B n B and more.
Your best advertisement is word-of-mouth; I learned about the tour from a colleague and I will be sharing the information gleaned with my colleagues...............
Great tour, guide and concept!
Thank you.

| We are a group of women seeing New York. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of meeting and visiting with someone who lives in New York. The tour of Chelsea Market was great. We were a little disappointed that the tour did not include more neighborhood stops, but all in all it was a very enjoyable experience. |

| Cindy, our leader was very informed, kept the group on schedule, and was very good with the various age groups. The tour had a lot of diversity and included food and history of the area. I would highly recommend. |

| My Daughter and myself went on this tour and she didn't really want to do a group tour , so she was a little hesitant ( age 20) about the whole 3 plus hour tour. We had a great time learned a lot and tried some great food. Chris our tour guide was so informative,
energetic she was a great tour guide I wish we would of had time to do the other tours.
Sara Beth's preserves are great!

| My wife and I took the tour while on a short trip to New York. We were unfamiliar with the Chelsea Market and it sounded like a fun way to experience it and the surrounding area. Instead of just sitting on a bus or listening to someone talk about it, you're completely involved in the tour. You get the opportunity to see, smell, touch and taste everything the market has to offer. And the food we sampled was amazing! Our guide, Curt, was enthusiastic, fun and very knowledgeable. I will (and have) recommended this tour to everyone I know that is visiting New York. |

| This tour was fantastic, it was a xmas present for my husband and he loved it. It was so informative and really fun. The food was great and I still can't believe it was only 80$ for the 2 of us....SO worth it. |

| We attended the tour this past Friday. It was myself, my 21 year old daughter and a friend. Kurt was absolutley amazing! It surpassed our expectations. His knowledge of the area and the fact a well know "neighborhood Celebrity" waived to him and our group just made it all more special. The food was great and plentiful, the tour of the neighborhood was insightful and his relationship with each shop owner made us all feel very welcome. It was well worth the cost! He even gave us some great suggestion for the rest of our trip.
When we went back to Sarabeth's after the tour Sarabeth hereself came out and talked to us for while.
We went to Dinner that evening at Del Posto's and it was perfect. We were given the direct reservation line and had no problem getting a 8:30 Saturday night reservation!
Thanks Kurt for a wonderful time. My daughter said the tour and dinner at Del Posto's was the hightlight of her trip.
Thanks Again,
Jennifer Groneck and Raven Fausz |

| My husband and I along with my 74 year old Mom and 16 year old neice had a fabulous time with Todd as our tour leader. Very intersting information, lots of great tastes and a thorough tour of the area. We would recommend it highly. In fact we will be participating in the other tours on our next trip to New York.
One suggestion, we met other tourists on our weekend in New York and told them about the tour. Consider giving out a business card or pamphlet to share with others. |

| We now know the ChelseaMarket area pretty darn well..Saw both SaraBeth and the "High Line" on TV the next day!! Our guide conveyed her love for this area, and as true Foodies, we loved seeing the source for the restaurant treats, such as black trumpet mushrooms. The time flew by, and I recommend this to all! |
