Foods of New York Tours

My wife and I attended the food tour whilst on our Honeymoon in NYC. It was definitely a highlight of our trip. A great opportunity to try food we wouldn't normally try out and a unique opportunity to see some really interesting parts of the village with a great mix of history and famous tv landmarks. Our tour guide (Bert) was brilliant and clearly loves his job. An awesome experience highly recommended to all.

We signed up for this food tour on a whim, thinking it was something different that we had not done in New York and we were not disappointed. On the tour we learned about the history of the Chelsea Market building and the neighborhood. We also learned about the history and creation of the High Line (and did a short walk on it). Our tour guide, Bob, was very knowledgeable and outgoing. We had 7 different tastes on the tour ranging from chocolate milk to a sit down plate of pasta. Overall, more food was served that I would typically eat for lunch. Bob did a great job of explaining the people behind the food. Six of the tastes were in the Chelsea Market itself, and one was in the neighborhood. For those squeamish folks, there was nothing weird in the tastings; no raw fish or anything. There was one vegetarian in our group and special tastings were prepared for her. I personally would have enjoyed a little more time in the neighborhood and little less in the market. The market gets very crowded and noisy on a Sunday. Also it would have been neat to meet one of the proprietors of the places we got tastings from. Overall though, a very enjoyable Sunday late morning/early afternoon.

A historical and gastro exploration in to the famed Chelsea markets! Highly recommended!

Our tour guide Annie was a gem!!!! She was warm, funny, knowledgeable & made sure that a wonderful time was had by all. She provided wonderful stories & snippets of history of the area which made the tour that much more than just a food tasting. Don't get me wrong....the food was great!! We sampled food from seven different establishments which were varied & delish. Thinking about what tour we will book next. Thanks Annie!!!

Our group really enjoyed this tour - it was informative and the food was great. Our guide Diana was fabulous. I would highly recommend this tour - saw a wonderful area of NYC that we may not have visited without the tour. Great way to learn about the area.

We three girlfriends from before high school all love food and we were not disappointed in the tastings, but the Chelsea Market tour wasn't just about the food . Our tour guide, Diana, was so engaging and full of fun - she's a natural lecturer (in a good way). The history of the market is fascinating and she conjured up for us the most amazing images of what it must have been like back in the days of horse and carriage. I can hardly wait to return to NYC to go on the Greenwich Village tour. Highly, highly recommended!

A must do tour. Greenwich Village is a neat area of NYC and the food was fantastic. Kerrianne, our tour guide was knowledgable and did a great job. Don't miss out!!

Love the tour. Rachim - our guide was wonderful - knew his stuff, was courteous to people living in the tour area. Wide variety of food stops...each unique in their own way. You wont be hungry after this. 3 hours flew by - never a boring moment.

We really enjoyed Susan as our tour leader. She provided a wealth of knowledge on the area as well as on the food itself. Her passion for the culture, history and food allowed us to experience it on a unique level. Her attitude was diffidently contagious. Would recommend everyone to learn and enjoy NYC on this level.

Susan was our guide, and she really knows the village. Lots of food on this tour, with two sit down stops, which is nice. The mortadella sandwich was terrific, as was the fresh mozzerella from Joe's Dairy. The other food was average. My wife loved the dessert stop. Always like hearing about architecture and local lore, urban myths. Also did the original village tour last year... liked that one better, but you ate more food on this tour.

We had an amazing time on the tour. The food was fantastic, and our guide was fun and knowledgeable. We went back to a number of stops later on in our trip! I will certainly return to try out other tours. Highly recommend!!!

I had heard good reviews about the food tour in Greenwich village, but the actual tour was better than that. Barri was a fantastic tour guide. Keeping our group together was like herding cats, but she kept us on track. We expected small bites of food from each stop, but there was more food than we expected and it was all delicious - even the cauliflower! The three hours went by so fast, as we really enjoyed the food, the walk through Greenwich Village and all the information - both historical and current. Now i always look at brick to determine if a building was built in the Federal style.

Our tour guide (Kevin) was so much fun. Had lots of info about each stop, made the tour so interesting. I have recommended this tour to all my friends. We plan on booking other tours with you.

Been on this tour twice before. Having kurt as a guide made you feel like you had a stand up comedian entertaining you while being on the tour. Been on similar tours across the country and Kurt was the best guide I ever had. Not only hysterical but extremely knowledgable. Can't wait to see his stand up routine.

Our group has been on many tours with FoodofNY and they have always been an enjoyable time, as was the case with the Chelsea Market Tour. As always, the food we tasted were ample and interesting. The one thing that made this tour exceptional, was our tour guide! Kurt was the BEST tour guide we have ever experienced. Our group found him to be incredibly witty and enjoyable. He had us laughing for the entire 3 and a half hours of the tour. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone and HIGHLY recommend doing a tour with Kurt. It was an experience all in it's own. Great job!
