Foods of New York Tours

The tour was great for delicious food, history of area, opportunity to learn excellent restaurants for return visit. And cheap as substitutes for lunch and maybe dinner too!!

Well, guilt free because it is a walking tour. The food was amazing and yes we were completely stuffed by the end of the tour. If you are a drive thru diva you will honestly enjoy revisiting REAL food! I loved the mix of tastings and history lesson of the area. New York is an amazing city and it was nice to have a tour that allowed us to truly get to know a neighborhood. My husband really enjoyed it too and it was a fun & interesting date for our 6th anniversary. I felt like a real grownup tasting food that didn't involve juice boxes and spiderman gummies.We will for sure include another food tour on our next trip to NY. Enjoy!

My husband and I wanted to take a scheduled tour of the village to learn more about the area and Food and Culture Tour sounded right up our alley. My overall reaction is an 8 out of 10. Leader was a sweetheart and knowledgable about the area and food - New York Pizza in particular. Food was just about right for a lunch type sampling, although I thought the tasting were rather small. These tours need to be careful not to become an advertising campaigne for the resturants and food shops. Almost felt like a little too much promotion of the business going on instead of information about the food and history of the establishment. Would have liked a little bit more info about the history of the area and past and present well know artists that roamed/roam the area. Not a word mentioned about NYU and I was somewhat surprised the college connection to the village didn't come up. Overall, time well spent for the money and we would both recommend it, but would also supplement with a little more research of the area before going on another similar tour.

History seemed to take a front page to this tour.. Food was more of a secondary, but overall the tour was wonderful.

Bob Gelber, our guide, was so enthusiatic! Enjoyed learning the history of Chelsea Maerket as well as all the delicious food tastings. Will recommend to friends.

I thought that our tour was wonderful and the food was greatly varied which I enjoyed because you didn't know what you were going to get next. I also thought our tour guide (Heather) was very easy to listen to and I absorbed the information. All of the food was top-notch and we also had a mini but interesting history lesson. I was afraid I would get bored by the history but it was very interesting and I enjoyed every aspect of the tour. I would definately go on another food tour! (mind you I am 13 years old) Lovely overall! (:

The Greenwich Village tour was like stepping away from the commercial busyness of the city & going to a a small village. Going in tiny specialty shops with wonderful tastings made us feel like we were at home. This was a small window looking at the lives of native New Yorkers

Each summer a group of us like to tour a section on NYC; this year we selected the Chelsea Market Tour since I'd heard some very postive comments about it from some friends. Since, we are a group of 18 women, it was important to find a date that had all 16 spots open and to plan far in advance so most could attend. At the end of May, we decided on July 29th, and were able to get 15 friends to sign up. I can happily say that the feedback was very enthusiastic - everyone really enjoyed the tour! Foods of NY does an excellent job offering a variety of stores and restaurants and mixes in some truly great selections - soup, cupcakes, fresh rolls, and Italian delicacies are just some of the tastings. Add some unique settings and historical details about the surrounding area, a stroll along the High Line and you have one very enjoyable day We are already discussing which of the tours we'd like to do next summer.

What a wonderful time my friends and I had during our tour of the Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking District! We sampled a variety of scrumptious treats while learning the background of the market and the history of the area. Our friendly tour guide was filled with interesting info and the 3 hours flew by. I recommend this tour.

The tour was very informative and the food was great. Our guid was great! We went back the follow night and ate at two of the restaurants on the tour.

We were extremely happy with the tour and found the informatiion on the local area to be very informative. The food tastings were frequent and very generous. Barri was a great guide and the size of the group was ideal. Thanks again for a great day.

Diana was a great tour guide and we bad so much fun on the tour. The food was more than I expected and delicious. Will definately go on other tours.

I really enjoyed the food tour and highly recommend it to those who like to eat a lot! I did not expect to eat until I was nearly sick, but I did. Raheem was a fun, energetic tour guide. It was very interesting to see the old neighborhoods and to eat foods from old established family-owned restaurants. The only draw-back was that it was really hot and we were on our feet for so long.

Our guide was not only well informed, but an enthusiastic booster of the neighborhood. The food tasting gave us a teaser & prompted our return to the neighbothood for another look around & a meal the folllowing day. I look forward to another of your walking & tasting tours.

Susan was a very informative and interesting tour guide!
