Darrell was an excellent tour guide! Good pace. Very good presentation. Enjoyed the food, particularly the variety. Great to experience Chelsea Market, the High Line, and the Meatpacking District. Great basis to return and enjoy this area.

Darryl our guide was fantastic. Great energy & really gave our group a sense of the wonders at the market. We loved it so much we went back the next day to re-explore & taste. make sure to walk the Highline it really caps off the experience.

A great tour. We were a group of 15 friends with kids ranging from 12 to 19. My 12 year-old said that he enjoyed the tour very much and not one of the kids complained about it lasting 3 hours. I am sure the cookies and ice cream helped. Everyone enjoyed the stores at the Chelsea Market and the walking in the Meatpacking district. Our guide was very informative and fun to listen to. The food was delicious. May we suggest serving the delicious cookies and chocolate milk after the New England clam chowder (or any of the other wonderful soup choices.) Also, serving the pasta with a meatless topping would have allowed our vegetarian friends to enjoy the last meal. After the tour we returned to the Chelsea Market for some serious shopping at the TSalon and Sarabeth's Kitchen. Those fruit spreads are hard to resist. I will definitely look into another tour when back in NYC again.

Our guide Darryl did a fantastic job! I went on your Greenwich Village food tasting tour two years ago, and I was very happy to find that Darryl's tour was equally well done. He was personable, full of knowledge, and presented the information in a nice loud, clear voice. All of the food samples were DELICIOUS! I can't think of any way in which the tour can be improved...well, maybe if the Chelsea Market had more rest rooms available...there was just one section in the middle where there were restrooms open, and there constantly was a long line. I have already recommended the Foods of NY tours to friends and family. Thank you!

We loved it! Learned lots and lots about an area we were unfamiliar with even though we have been to NYC more than 15 times in the last 10 years. The food portions were generous and delicious. The tour guide was extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and easygoing. The group was the right size. Everything was perfect!

Curt was our tour guide. He was knowlegeable, enthusiastic, and fun. He created an immediate rapport with the group by recounting everyone's name and where they were from (there were 12 of us!!). The Market and the businesses we stopped at were all exceptional. We had the added bonus of ideal weather.
