Absolutely fantastic!!!

I have been on at least 5 or 6 of your food tours and highly recommend them to my friends because they are so informative and fun. We had Kurt as a guide this time and I have to say that he was the best guide ever! He memorized everyone's names immediately and put the whole group at ease with each other right away. His insight to the inner workings of restaurants was wonderful. His high energy level and stories kept us laughing the entire time. I can't say enough great things about Kurt and the food tours!

Was even better the second time!

This was the second time on the Chelsea Market Tour but it was my third Zerve food tour. I went with my husband and college aged daughter on the Greenwich Village tour first, which they enjoyed more than Chelsea Market. This trip I took my with my book group. They absolutley loved it. I liked the tour guide better the second time. The information that I learned was not that repetitive. It is really a delightful experience and I would defintely do another food tour again, probably Little Italy next time I am in New York. It is not really touristy in that most people that live in NYC probably don't know a lot of the history that is shared with you. The food is filling, some tates are better than others, but it really doesn't matter. Go for the unique experience and enjoy! PS-They are are reliable and organized, and don't be late or they may leave without you!

Bob did a wonderful job of telling us all about the market and the food. We all enjoyed his stories. And the food was excellant.

A Great New York Experience!

This was my third tour with Foods of New York Tours, and they have all been fantastic. My recent tour in Chelsea Market was most enjoyable. Our guide, Kurt, was entertaining, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable about the area. Not only do you get to sample great food on these tours, but you learn facts about the neighborhoods and history that you may never learn elsewhere. I highly recommend this tour company!

Take any tour offered by Kurt Upton!

We specifically requested a time that Kurt was leading the tour (having heard 5 mins of his spiel during a previous visit to New York). We weren't disappointed. Topical, funny, personal, and yummy. This tour was terrific. Don't eat much (or anything) in advance.

Great Experience, Love Chelsea Market Even More
Fri, Apr 27, 12   10:00 AM saelst Female 40-49 Local Other
We had a fun time eating our way through Chelsea Market and learning about the history of the Meat Packing District. Great for tourists, great for locals. I took the Chelsea Market tour twice, with two different family members. One of the guides was a better historian and tour guide, which made for a more interesting experience, but the other tour was still good (too bad you can't choose based on the guides). Highly recommend. It's a nice intro to the neighborhood.
