| This is probably something I would bring out of town friends and family but still very good for me. Our tour guide was great. Learned a lot of interesting things about the area, the history...and seemed to know his restaurants (and food) pretty well. My only complaint (if any) was that we only visited a half dozen places to eat. The food was great though, wish I had more of an opportunity to sample some more of it....since it was all so good. |

| The tour was great. Just the ravioli at Raffeto's and the mozzarella at Joe's Diary pay the tour. It is a must do for a new yorker. |

| I thought the tour was fantastic. Very entertaining and the food was delicious. Our guide, Rahim, was amazing, he has such a great personality and was very knowledgeable. I will definitely do a similar tour again. Highly recommended. |

| Since it was raining, it would be hard to judge this tour. I felt like the leader was not in great command of the information. There were 7 tastings which was less than our last tour. It was fun, but not nearly as fun as our last tour of the Village. |

Fun, Fun, Fun - even in the rain!

| 1. I thought there was much too much talk and not enough tasting or information about the tastings. I thought the tour would be more foodie - ie assume people had quite a bit of interest in and knowledge about food.
2. My vegetarian Cuban option was really disgusting. It was fried (greasy and old stale oil) mashed potato (lumpy and undersalted) with what tasted like processed cheese in the middle. It left me with an unpleasant after taste and I still feel sick when I think about it..
3. I was shocked that our guide asked people to pay $10 for a cocktail in the cuban place, when they were clearly advertised on a board for $5 outside.....
4. I enjoyed the Mozeralla place (and it was interesting to go into a theatre and hear about the cultural life of the area). |

| My husband and I did the Chelsea/Meatpacking Tour while we were on our honeymoon in New York a couple of years ago and loved it. We returned to New York (our favourite place in the whole world!) last month and decided to try another Foods of NY tour, this time we took my Mum along with us as she travelled with us for a few days. All of us thought the tour was amazing...it is so great to learn about the history of New York, the food culture and of course experience the sights, sounds and flavours of the city with such a fabulous, knowledgable host. We will definitely do another tour next time we come back! Thank you so much Rahim (my apologies I'm sure I have your name wrong but hope someone works it out so our thanks and rave review reaches you!) Cath & Simon Beckett and Teri Andrew :o) |
