Additional Information

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!

Great way to see Chelsea Markets - Only 3 people on the tour so we had no problem listening to our guide Joe who was well informed and knew the history which he passed on in an easy to understand way. The market was quiet at 10.00 am which was really good as he could point out a lot of things you probably wouldn’t see easily when it was busy. The tastings were good, varied and, if anything, too much! Would recommend this tour.

Perfect balance - Loved, loved, loved this tour. Perfect balance of history, local colour and fabulous food. Tacos and pizza were standouts. Great intro to Hudson Yards and Highline too. Kept my 16 year old completely engaged. Not to mention the restaurant recommendations for theatre land. Fantastic. Highly recommend
