Foods of New York Tours

Was introduced to stores we never would have found. Great handout and funny guide. We loved Greenwich so much we went back and tried one of the restaurants and bought cookies and coffee beans to bring home. We are already planning to return and stay closer to enjoy it even more. Thank you for your great tour.

The history and inside character of the neighborhood was great to hear -- especially from someone who clearly had so much of a connection to it. The food was excellent -- I just wish I'd had more time to stay and dine at more of the places!

My husband didn't know how much he wanted to go on this touring with me, but the remainder of the day following the tour, he couldn't quit talking about how great it was. This tour was an entertaining history lesson on top of getting to try yummy foods all over the village.

fabulous food, great tour guide who showed us an area of New York we would never have thought to visit.

Interesting and tasteful

This was a good tour, but we learned more about the history of the district than we did tasting food. I would have preferred to go to more food establishments that were willing to give samples. I enjoyed the tour, nevertheless, and would recommend it.

Our Village Tour was fun & informative. The guide was knowledgeable & kept up a good pace. My only complaint was having to eat outside at some of the establishments such as Rocco's & Faicco's. They could get a bench or folding chairs or let the people inside for just a few minutes. Eating the samples outside in the freezing cold is not pleasant. Other than that, it was very enjoyable.

Barri headed our group and was well-versed and entertaining. The pace moved along quickly and the time flew. We plan to do the Meatpacking Tour next. Well worth the money and time for those interested in architecture, history and good food. Definitely enjoyable.

MY HUSBAND AND I REALLY ENJOYED THE TOUR. WE FOUND OUT SO MUCH ABOUT THE AREA. WE COME INTO THE CITY OFTEN AND NEVER USUALLY GO TO THIS PART. I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK THERE AGAIN. THERE ARE SEVERAL EATING ESTABLISHMENTS THAT ARE NOW ON MY LIST. ALL OF THE PLACES WERE GREAT. THE FOOD SAMPLES WERE DELICIOUS.

We enjoyed our tour, food and guide. It was well planned, interesting and the samples are great,. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and fun!! Learned lots of history and enjoyed the short walk through the area outside the market.

Cindy was terrific - well-versed and upbeat. However, she oversold the tastings which were good, but not spectacular, particularly the 'italian feast' which was hardly that. She put out a spread for 15 people that shouldn't have had to feed more than 4. It was skimpy and underwhelming. Also, why not spring for a full cone serving of gelato? $40 was a steep pricetag, all in all.

We enjoyed the guided tour of the Chelsea food market. The guide was very interesting and well informed. The food was delicious and plentiful. We had a great time. It is a mostly indoor tour so it is good for the cold weather we were having at the time.

Our group had a blast. We learned the history of the area, the food and got to snack along the way. It is a good way to spend an afternoon and when you get done, you have plenty of choices of great places for dinner.

Barri, our tour guide, was terrific. She was enthusiastic and well informed. The tour was well organized and researched, we learned lots about the Village, and the tastings.... fabulous! I no longer will wander around The Village wondering where to shop, browse, eat, or go for a fun evening. My out-of-country guests were wow-ed.

Weather-wise, our day could not have been more miserable! We were a group of 5 and Cindy took us on her 'personal' tour of the village - it could not have been better. Two in our party were old-time New York area people. They have not stopped commenting on the tour to their friends; even making phone calls to 'pass it on'. My wife and I are now living in Mobile, Alabama and are a bit confounded by the enormity of the city. This tour really civilized the impression of NY for us. We will be sure to pass on to our friends who are planning a visit to be sure to book this 'must do' experience. And did I mention Cindy? What a sweetheart and full of wit and personality. Thank you, thank you! Michael
