| Wonderful way of testing good food in different places. Our guide, Kurt, has great personality and knows a lot about restaurants, food and chefs. He also gave us some history of the district and market. Overall experience was better than i expected. |

| For starters I booked the tour for Friday but thought I had booked this for Thursday so props to Todd who was able to squeeze me in on a tour that already started. Kurt was our tour guide and he was great! The tour was more than I had expected.. I really thought it was mainly going to be food related but he took us around the area and also gave us a lot of history of the meatpacking district as well. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Thanks again to Todd and Kurt for squeezing me in on the tour :) |

| For our girls trip in NYC we decided to take the Chelsea Market tour and it was the highlight of the whole trip! We had multiple celebrity sitings, the food was plentiful and delicious (don't eat a big breakfast before going on this tour), and Diana, our guide, was fabulous!!
I would recommend this tour to anyone who considers themselves a "foodie" or is interested in an area of the city with a ton of history and character. |

We will come back! |

| We assembled with our guide on time at the market. Our guide , Bob was charming, funny and very well informed. It was obvious that he really enjoyed his job. We tasted many delicious foods within Chelsea Market and we learned all about the area and its history. We continued onto the HighLine which was a new experience and we were all delighted with the information Bob provided about the area. Our last stop in the meatpacking district was a gourmet delight and we all left satisfied educationally and with full stomachs. We are looking forward to another experience in the spring with Food Tours. |

| Chelsea Market took on new meaning during this tour due in large part to our guide Diana...The market came to life after Diana disclosed the history of its owner Irwin Cohen, and the amazing vision he had for developing it. The food offered at all the stops we made was fresh, delicious and plentiful, and the shop keepers were not only prepared with our "samples," but seemed pleased to see us all there. Diana was well versed in all questions culinary, and was happy to exchange stories with us as well.
Our walk into the meat packing district was a 'real New York neighborhood story', full of anecdotal reference to ghosts of 14 Street's past, after which we all had a very vivid picture of what the area was like compared to what it is now.
The icing on the cake moment came when we approached Little West 12th street near Pastis, where we all thought the tour would end, but Diana escorted us across the street to a wonderful example of a family owned and operated Italian restaurant where we we served our last sampling of food of the area, penne with oxtail ragu...Yummmmmmm!
We will certainly try another tour and request Diana again soon! We had a great experience. |
