Chelsea Market/Meatpacking Dist Food Tasting Tour

We loved our guide, Kurt, who gave us so much information on the area. We also enjoyed the tastings and were more than full. I just thought we'd be outside more in the immediate area, not just in the market. I have to say Kurt made the event for us!

My group enjoyed the tour . Our guide for the tour was funny and informative. The history of the area was provided as well as future plans. The food was good.

I booked on the Chelsea/Meatpacking District Tour having done the Foods of NY tour of Greenwich Village last year, which was absolutely terrific. Although my friends and I enjoyed enjoyed the Chelsea tour overall - and all the food tastings were delicious - for me it suffered in comparison with my Greenwich Village tour last year. While the Greenwich tour had been led by a real local who knew everything and everyone about the Village, and really brought the area to life, the Chelsea tour was led by a resting actor who was chirpy and friendly, but lacked the local knowledge and passion for food I'd been expecting....added to which he kept inexplicably disappearing, and didn't really manage to create a group dynamic on the tour. Overall still worth doing as the area is really interesting and it's a real foodie haven, but a note to Foods of NY that it would be worth them ensuring that ALL of their tour leaders are as passionate and knowledgeable as their best.

This tour was great and I would recommend it to anyone. You get to experience the whole market and the wonderful foods that is ha to offer. The food is great and there is plenty of it- don't even think about needing a meal after. After the market you walk around the meat packing district learning the history of the areas and the plans to preserve it. This was a great way to spend a rainy day, eating and learning about a great neighborhood in NYC.

I toured Chelsea Market on Saturday, June 3, 2006. The guide was funny, informed and a pleasure to spend time with. He kept us on schedule but also allowed us roaming time. As for the market itself, it's beyond words. I loved every tasting and felt welcomed along the way. I would highly recommend this tour to locals & tourists who love good food.

Our guide Darryl was darling, fun & knowledgeable!! He was enthusiastic and flexible. It was awesome to learn so much history of the Chelsea Market as well as the Meatpacking District. The food was amazing and so interesting. Definitely filled us up for lunch. I would recommend it to anyone and looking forward to going on another tour soon!

This is my second food tour. Last fall I participated in the Greenwich Village tour and loved it so much ,decided to try the Chelsea Market tour. I loved this one also. Very informative, got to know the area, and would recommend it to others. The guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. Thank you for making this a great activity.

The tour was super informative and fun. My friend and I believe that it was a highlight of our visit to NYC. We enjoyed learning about the neighborhood, experiencing the lifestyle and tasting the delicious foods of Chelsea Market. Even in the rain our tour guide Curt made the day an exciting, fast-paced and most pleasurable experience.

Kurt was an excellent guide. The tastings were generous and delicious. The information provided about the buildings and area was interesting. I would highly recommend it.
