Chelsea Market/Meatpacking Dist Food Tasting Tour

My husband and I loved the Chelsea Market/Meatpacking District tour. It combines two activies we enjoy - eating and learning about new areas. Even though I lived in New York for several years, it was still interesting to find out the history of some of these artisinal shops and get to taste the food. I would highly recommend this tour to others - both local and out-of-towners.

A delightful day with a most interesting guide! The places we visited were great and the food was wonderful.

Fun and interesting - Darryl was a great tour guide and made us aware of many architectural details (very cool), history, and future plans for the Chelsea market and surrounding neighborhood. Food was excellent and plentiful.

We can't decide. We did the Village walk in January with Curt and then the Meatpackers with Darrell. Both were wonderful and if that was only Darrells second tour he is going to be great. The information and of course the food was wonderful. Many thanks Barbara and Danny O'Connor Sheffield England

Excellent tour--fun and enjoyable. Guide was funny and very knowledgeable.

I had seen this review on line and so decided it would be interesting to do. It was fantastic. Our guide was fun, lively and presented everything with such enjoyment. She really provided a once in a lifetime experience. I would highly recommend this to anyone coming to New York. It is different than many of the things you would normally do and is a must do when visiting the city.

We had a fabulous guide during our visit - he was hilarious, knowledgeable, accommodating and enthusiastic. The Chelsea Market is a gem, and it was so interesting to go behind the scenes. All of the store owners were gracious and helpful. Samples were generous and we definitely did not leave feeling hungry. Our kids, both junior food aficionados, were treated equally as well as the adults in the group. I've told everyone that this was my favorite part of our Memorial Day weekend visit to the City - we will definitely book Greenwich Village next time. It would be interesting to consider a Lower East Side option for people to try the vast array of ethnic food available. Enjoy!

Good food, lots of interesting information. Tour leader was excellent, funny and well organized. Highly recommended!

We all enjoyed the food and the tour.

I believe Cindy was our guide. She is a wealth of knowledge - not just about the restaurants we toured and tasted, but also about the area, the people, the architecture and the businesses. I really enjoyed the tour. All the samples more than made up a meal. I did return to do some light shopping and snacking later. I will recommend it to friends for sure. Probably the most unique part of the tour was the salt tasting. I never gave it much thought before. I myself would have prefered more chocolate to the salt, but it was still very informative.
