| We were a group of friends from Long Island who wanted to do something different in NYC. It was even better than we expected. Our guide, Wendy, was so well informed and taught us so much about Chelsea Market and the surrounding area. The tour was very well organized and the food tastings were delicious. |

| The guide was informative about the history and culture of the area. She was lively, personable, and kept the tour interesting until the last half hour. We were all hot, tired, and ready to call it a day.
She held out the dessert as the incentive for holding us on a dirty, noisy, street corner until she ended her presentation. It would have been much better to walk us back to Chelsea market and finish in a pleasant setting in climate controlled circumstances.
My guest and I were not especially impressed with the samplings. The brochure showed pizza and a lovely display of desserts--neither were offered or mentioned in the lecture about where to find these items. Also, the ticket/Internet info stated that we would visit the Fruit Exchange. This establishment was not visited or an explanation given about why not.
My guest and I did not like the dessert given to us on a dirty, noisy, street corner. |

| This is the second food tour by Zerve that I've been too. Just like the first (Greenwich Village) this tour of Chelsea Market and the Meat Packing Area was an eye-opener. I did not realize the lovely variety of of restaurants, food and people who live, work and own businesses in these two places. Good work -- and thank God I live in NY! |

| I was in Manhatten by myself for a couple of days. I found out about the tour from friends. I've done similar walking tours throughout Europe. This one was simply the best one ever. The Guide Curt was spectacular. He was a fine host and an amazingly funny guy. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour at all. I'm looking forward to taking the other tour the next time i'm in NYC. Worth the cost at twice the price-----BRAVO. |

| I found this tour on the internet and thought I would take a chance. The tour was so entertaining and informative not to mention the great food you get to try along the way. Our tour guide, Kurt, made the tour outstanding and I would recommend it to all my friends visiting New York. Thank you for introducing us to so many great food shops and touring the area! |

| Two thirds of this tour is spent in the Chelsea Market, making it less varied than the Greenwich Village tour, but still interesting in its own right. The meat packing district is sure to undergo many more changes in the near future which will further enhance the tour. |
