Overview

We are the pioneers of NYC food tours since 1999!

Our tour will not only leave you full with EIGHT TASTINGS (not samples like on other Chelsea Market tours), but will include under-the-radar historical tales of Chelsea Market, like how it used to be a factory for Nabisco and the origin of the Oreo cookie. In addition to the trendy and bustling spots on the main floor, we will also visit Chelsea Local downstairs, where locals actually shop for their food.

8 tastings are included with this tour with two opportunities to sit down. All tastings are done inside Chelsea Market. We will make sure you leave full and satisfied with a buttermilk biscuit, homemade Italian crostata, NYC #1 hot dog, Pizza, Gelato and much much more!

Once outside, walk on the High Line, NYC’s elevated public park. You’ll hear compelling tales of the rail line that once served the West Side’s factories and butchers. You’ll wander through the Meatpacking District and find out how this area went from not to hot!

Joe is AWESOME and so filled with information. He is a foodie and has lived in NYC for several decades. His personality is electrifying and he has the uncanny ability to put smiles on every participant’s face. Food is delicious. Food modifications and allergies are honored. The history of Chelsea Market and the Meat Packing area is so interesting. The High Line is a nice bonus. The 3 hours pass easily. If you have some walking concerns, don’t. Elevators are available. Not strenuous. Many nice Instagram and Social Media opportunities. My husband accompanied me and he immensely enjoyed Joe’s tour despite losing out on a day of cycling on Long Island. He wants to return with other couples. Bring a water bottle with you and it can be refilled during the tour. Request Joe and you won’t be disappointed.

I did the food tour of Chelsea Market on Sunday. This tour is a great way to experience Chelsea Market and see the High Line. Our guide, Cindy, was phenomenal and does a great job avoiding and navigating the crowds. Highly recommend this tour and next time I’m in NYC, I’ll definitely book another tour.

Cindy/Susie (depending on her mood) was fantastic. She later told us she's also an actress and it shows, especially in her Rudy Giuliani impersonation. We had the absolute best time on this tour--great group, great guide--and others even stopped us to get her contact info because we were clearly having a great time. In fact, we joked and asked so many questions that we ran our tour 30+ minutes long. Great choices of tastings, SO MANY stories and history. Highly recommend. Hope to tour with her again.
