| We felt as though we had discovered a real New York City treasure. Even the New Yorkers in our group were excited to discover the Chelsea Market. Darryl was a great guide and we all enjoyed the tour very much. |

| Tour guide was FABULOUS! Somuch energy, funny and tons of knowldege about the area, food, shops and restaurants. I only wish I could remember his name - he was so funny trying to get all of OUR names right, I can't remember his.
For the price of this tour you get alot of food tastings and the information that goes along with it is interesting as well. My husband is a culinary graduate and loved all the tastes and learning about the different shops in the market.
For a fun and different day in the city check out this tour. You'll love it! |

| This tour was so much fun! Our guide Curt kept us laughing and eating. Within 5 minutes, he had all of our names memorized...and there were about 15 on the tour. You can tell he really enjoys doing this tour. The food was wonderful...little tastes here & there. The chocolate croissants and coffee milk were wonderful, as were the lobster chowder, gelato, sun-dried tomato pesto, sausage, & cheese. I wasn't that excited about the meat packing area portion of the tour, except for peeking into Mario Battali's Del Posto and into Iron Chef Morimoto's new restaurant. Of course, by that time I was tired, having been up since about 4 a.m. that morning. My only regret was that we didn't take this tour earlier in our trip...like the second day, because we were leaving the next morning. Next time, we'll take a tasting tour early in our trip, so that we can come back & try some of the restaurants and spend more time in Chelsea Market. |

| This was my third tour with Foods of New York. My first was the Greenwich Village with Todd as my guide. There were only three in the group (which were all my friends) so it was nice and personal. I loved it so much I had my husband join me at my next visit in NYC and I still enjoyed it the second time. This was my first tour of the Chelsea Market and Todd did a great job. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend these tours to anyone visiting New York and who especially wants to avoid the Times Square tourist areas.

| Darryl, our tour guide, was hilarious and very knowledgeable. He made our tour fun, relaxed, and entertaining. A trip to NYC would not be complete without going on a food tour especially to the Chelsea Mkt / Meatpacking district area. This was our very first food tour so we did not know what to expect...we were pleasantly surprised and recommend this tour highly. The food was tasty and awesome. |

Great time.

| Tour guide was Cindy. She did a great job!! I have taken the Greenwich Tour in the past. This was just as good. Next time we come to NY, I would like to take your SOHO tour.
It is a great way to spend three hours in the afternoon. I would highly recommend it to anybody. It is an excellent way to get to know NY on a more intimate basis. |
