had a blast!

The tour guide was really knowledgeable. It gives us a chance to get acquainted with the area. If we hadn't gone on the tour we wouldn't have known of the gems that were in the area. The food was great! I'd recommend this to anyone coming from out of town and also for the locals as well.

I had been on this tour before...2 months ago. I enjoyed it so much that when I found out my sisters were coming to visit, I decided we would do it again. On both ocasions Curt was our guide. He and his quick wit. made the day special.

Great fun and delicious!

My sister and I were visiting NY on a weekend break from London and found this tour to be most enjoyable - it was fun and informative and the food tastings were plentiful and delicious! Our guide Cindy was great - she was interesting, extremely knowledgable about the area and had a great sense of humour - to us this experience was far preferable to sitting on top of a bus while someone points at buildings! I would love to do another of these tours on my next visit and would have no hesitation in recommending this activity to any friends planning a trip to NY.

Food and fun with Cindy
Mon, May 26, 08   12:00 PM wintro Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
I took my girlfriend on this eating tour of Greenwich Village on the last day of our trip to New York. The food was amazing, but that's really a given. What truly made this tour enjoyable was our tour guide Cindy. She is extremely entertaining, knowledgeable about the area and fun to interact with. Cindy had us laughing hysterically with her sharp New York wit, and we would do the tour for a second time in a heartbeat just to hang with Cindy again. I highly recommend this tour; you will walk away with a full stomach, good stories and an intimate knowledge of the neighborhood.

More savoury tastings, rather than sweet, otherwise great.

Not to be missed!
Sun, May 25, 08   12:30 PM christee Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
The food tour of Greenwich Village was awesome! It provided me with a lot of information that I did not know about Greenwich Village. It was a truly cultural experience that I would do again. The food that we tasted on the tour was very good and was very filling. You should come hungry and you will leave the tour very satisfied.

Wow! Eye opening gem!

We really liked this tour!! The Village is a gem! My wife and I want to retire to this wonderful place. The food establishments were excellent and thoughtfully selected by Zerve. Kudos all around. Thanks. It was worth every penny.

Take the tour...
Sun, May 25, 08   12:00 PM jcrews Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This tour was in line with what we were looking for; a tour of the area where the Food Network is housed as-well-as multiple food stores and specialty shops and bakeries. The guide was energetic, witty and very approachable to all in the group. This was our second tour while in NYC and our guide, Sam, was excellent about asking whether or not we needed to be escorted back to the origin. The previous tour guide ended the tour and left us basically to our own devices to get back to the origin. Not a big deal for a local but an out-of-towner might feel somewhat uneasy. Overall - a highly enjoyable way to spend three hours in a teriffic city! Take the tour...

Chelsea Market
Sun, May 25, 08   11:30 AM rainydayes Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
I had a great time on the tour. Bob was very knowledgeable and cordial. He did a great job! I especially liked The Lobster Place when he pulled the lobster out of the tank to show us, Del Posto and Chef Mormito's place. The grand finale was the view from the top of the last restaurant we visited. It would have been nice to stop on the FoodNetwork floor and pop our heads in, however I imagine that might take some string pulling. Overall, I loved this tour!

Chelsea Market/Meatpacking Dist Tour EXCELLENT!
Sun, May 25, 08   11:30 AM Marcyb Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We no longer live in the metro area, but were visiting for a long weekend and decided to take the Chelsea Market/Meatpacking District tour and we are so glad we did! Our guide, Bob, was excellent...a wealth of information about Chelsea Market. I had no idea of the building's history...very interesting. And the samples were plentiful and deliscious. I liked that the group was small, only 14 people and the tour lasted about 3 hours...definitely got our monies worth. I would highly recommend this tour to any foodie and I am ready to go on other Foods of New York tours!

The Good, the Bad, and the Unnecessary
Sun, May 25, 08   11:30 AM JMVanLeuven Female 60-69 Unspecified Other
This tour takes three hours, the first two hours inside Chelsea Market, and the last hour outside touring the neighborhood. I enjoyed hearing about the history of Chelsea Market and tasting various foods inside the speciality shops, but found the last hour outside, when the tour guide pointed out high-priced Manhattan real estate, rather boring. I would suggest future tours spend three hours inside Chelsea Market, with more tastings and a tour through Food Network studios instead of peeking in the Buddha Bar and other high-priced restaurants. There is a place for the outside tour, but this should not have been it. If this change cannot be effected , then I suggest the tour be shortened to 2 hours, all of it inside Chelsea Market.

Educational & delicious

This was the second time my husband and I have done this tour and this time we brought our parents with us. Everyone loved the tour! It's both cultural and educational and the food tastings are incredible. I can't wait to come back and dine at some of these fabulous places. It was great to see this part of the city and to feel like a "local." Thanks!!
