Chelsea Market/Meatpacking Dist Food Tasting Tour

I met my sisters-in-law in New York for a long weekend. They are from Boston and I am from CA. We took the tour on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. What a treat! Our tour guide, Bob, was very friendly and informative. The food tasting was terrific - definitely do not eat before you take the tour. You will be eating plenty of food during the tour. We would never have gone to Chelsea if we had not taken this tour. We are already making our plans to return soon and we plan to stay in one of the hotels in Chelsea. There is so much to see and do. Thanks for introducing us to such a unique part of New York.

What a fun informative tour. We ate our way through the Chelsea market, then stepped out into the Meat Packing District. Darrell had all sorts of history and fun tid bits on the tour. I very highly reccomend this tour.

I've been on all three foods of ny tours and they are all wonderful. It's a good way to learn about the different neighborhoods, the history, and culture. I recommend these tours to anyone who is visiting NY, even frequent visitors.

When in ny do this tour it's a must.

I had heard about these food tours through a friend of mine who did 2 while in NY in December. She gave great reviews so my mom, sister and I decided to do the Chelsea Market tour. Darryl, the tour guide, was just fabuluous and did a great job and kept it fun! It is definately on my list for next time.

I was with a friend and this was the only activity she really enjoyed of the 4 days we spent in New York. Our guide was friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, patient and understanding. What more could you ask? All of the food sampled was excellent, and it was interesting to learn the history of the area and to find out what will be happening in the neighborhood.

WOW! We would never have tasted and seen the amazing delicasies and history of Chelsea without the expert knowledge and hilarious antidotes of Kurt (our guide). Ask for him when you set up the tour, he made it so much fun...from the huge lobster he held while striking poses for us to the description of the fresh veggies (asparaguy vs asparagus...one is plural). The lobster bisque, choc. milk, scrumptious cookies were all worth the trip. And the walk around the block describing the development of this small industrial area was the perfect end to all that tasting. Give it a whirl.

Our guide was Kurt and he did a great job. The tour was entertaining and the time passed too quickly. We enjoyed learning about the market and the area and will be returning there often.

This tour was a gem! What a find!!! I'm so glad I took the time to do it. The food was delicious and plenty. But even better than the food was our tour guide, Curt, who was just super friendly, histerically funny and off-the-wall, and made it a point to make sure everyone on the tour was comfortable and happy. The history and fun tidbits about the Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking district were such that I couldn't have learned it any other way. As others have said, I would recommend taking this tour at the beginning of your trip because you WILL want to go back to the Market for some shopping, and to take some advantage of the amazing restaurants that you'll hear about/see along the way. I can't wait to go back to NYC and try another one of the tours!!!!

This was great fun- Kurt, the guide, wsa very informative and amusing. The samples were terrific, and some of his tips were terrific. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys food and some insight into a deveoping part of NY
