Highlights
  • Chelsea Market - Chelsea Market and the High Line are two of NYC’s best attractions! This food and history tour features incredible insights and stories as well as some delicious food and fantastic NYC views. Plus, our tour guides are truly entertaining and it’s enough food for lunch!

Did you know that although the area was originally residential, markets have existed in the district since the 1840s. People moved into tenements in the Meatpacking District in the 1820s to escape epidemics in what was then the main part of New York. In 1900, 250 slaughterhouses and packing plants filled the area; and by the 1930s, those houses produced the nation’s 3rd-largest volume of dressed meats. Five meatpacking companies still operate in the district. Boutiques and bars are more common than rump roasts these days, and the neighborhood continues to evolve almost daily.

Foods and activities on the tour include:
• Slice of Sicilian style pizza from Filaga
• VIP pastry sampler at Las Delicias Patisserie (gluten free & vegan available!)
• Doughnuttery doughnut
• Little ‘witch from Fat Witch Bakery
• Seed + Mill halva
• Zach & Zoe honey
• How hot can you go?! Guided hot sauce tasting by a hot sauce “sommelier”
• Brief shopping adventure with introduction and tote bag at Artists & Fleas
• Beer, wine or $5 sangria available (additional cost)

Intimate food tour - My husband and I were the only ones who scheduled a 4pm tour on our day. We met Petra and she was absolutely wonderful! She was very attentive and because it was only the 2 of us, she was able to take us around to locations that she doesn't usually get to. We tried many samples and even gained extras at a few stops. I would highly recommend booking this tour. You won't regret it

Great time and made a friend - So tasty and learned a lot. Apparently Nabisco used to be national biscuit company and built Chelsea as a cookie factory

Great tour…we all loved it (even the teens)! - We loved the food choices but our guide, Cindy, made this a highlight of our family trip. She was extremely knowledgeable, fun, and definitely high energy, even on a very hot and humid day. We learned much about the market’s history, and much abound the city too. She told us about the history of the High Line also. We would definitely recommend this tour! We all loved it, even the teens.
