Chelsea Market/Meatpacking Dist Food Tasting Tour

We enjoyed our tour with Daryl. He was very informative and funny. Loved all of the tastings and info about The Market and Meatpacking District. We had taken the tour 6 years ago. Great new additions with some of our favs from last time. Don't miss this experience!

If you are expecting a market on the scale of la Boqueria in Barcelona then this is not it. It's a very commercial market in an interesting old building, which has sympathetically been renovated to retain some of the original features, but the individual shops make for mostly a sterile experience. This is countered by a standup comic who doubles as our guide on the days he doesn't have a gig. The Meat Packing District accessed by a walk along the High-line was interesting and our final stop in an old butchers shop for a tasting was excellent.

3 hour tour which went by very quickly. Multiple gourmet food tasting sites, all of good quality and most of great interest. Guide (Kurt) extremely well informed and entertaining. Many useful tips given during tour. Well worth the time and $ spent.

The Chelsea Market tour was fabulous. Great vendors, great food, and a FABULOUS tour guide, named Kurt. Kurt made the effort of learning our names at the beginning of the tour. He was great at engaging all of us and we enjoyed his humor the entire time.

This was our second tour with Foods of New York Tours and I have to say that this one was actually better than the first. We plan to eventually take all of the tours offered because of the rich experience they offer! Take the tour, it's worth every penny!

The food samples were top notch. There was more than enough food given during the tour, and our host was wonderful at providing information about the market and it's history. Would highly recommend. The Highline was an added bonus of touring the area.

I have been on two other Foods of New York that were better. This tour was mostly inside the Chelsea Market. I prefer walking through neighborhoods.

This is the 2nd time I've taken this food tour...the food was just as wonderful as the last time. We had Darryl for our tour guide. Last year we had Kurt and he was fantastic! So funny and kept us entertained the whole time. Darryl also did a great job but after having Kurt last year this time the experience wasn't quite as fun. Not a knock against Darryl...just different personalities. I highly recommend this food tour. We have been on the Greenwich Village tour and that was also wonderful. I think I preferred the food tasting a bit more on this tour but you can't go wrong with either. I'm looking forward to trying the other food tours on our next visit to NYC.

Very informative tour. Our tour guide, Curt was a hoot!! Highly recommend taking the tour with Curt. Excellent food tastings!!

My husband and I really enjoyed the Chelsea food tour. It was very informative and delicious! A great way so explore this part of the city. Woul definitely recommend it!
