| A great insight into an area of the city we had not yet explored. See this booming district now while there's still a hint of what it once was. Cindy was pleasant, professional and a wealth of information about the history of the area and the forces that are shaping it today. Learn a little something and enjoy some good food |

| Having enjoyed the Greenwich Village tour a couple of years ago I had high hopes for the Chelsea/Meatpacking tour - and it didn't disappoint. The story of the area's recent transformation was wonderfully brought to life by our guide - Cindy. Her passion for the area and for good food is truly infectious. Only downside is that I live in London - a long way from the wonderful Manhattan Fruit Exchange! |

| It was a very informative, and very fun tour. The food choices were delicious, and we learned much history that we would not have had insight on, otherwise. Highly recommended! |

| This was our second tour with Foods of New York (we also did the Greenwich tour last year) and we loved it! The food is fantastic the insight and information abut the neighborhood was facinating and the guide was great. We look forward to a new trip being added to the mix - we will definately be back to take it if it happens! |

| The tour guide provided a lot of historical information and current developments in the Chelsea area and the market in which we spent most of the tour. The food that we tried was so delicious and the guide even pointed out food bargains, restaurants, and shops. |

| Our guide, Curt, was a very energetic, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable young man who provided an entertaining and informative tour. The three hours sped by in his company.
The food and sites were excellent. My only criticism of the food is that there was too much concentration on sweets. We started with a chocolate twist, followed by a mocha drink and chocolate milk, and ended up with double-baked chocolate croissants! I preferred the balance of foods in the Greenwich tour. |

I Recommend this tour!

| The Chelsea Market tour was fun and educational as well as filling us with food and drink. I never had farm fresh milk. The meatpackers tour was just as informative, the history as well as the future of the district was very interesting. |

| Types of food needs to be broken out more - too much breads and pasteries.
Far too much talking and not enough eating.
Did not enjoy the school master type tour leader.
Overall, would not recommend to other locals. Maybe for out of towners only. |
