What To Expect

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) Please be aware that stops are subject to change at any time.

The High Line

Discover the art, history, design, and horticulture of the High Line! The High Line may be about two stories high—but it’s hundreds of stories deep. We will uncover its secrets and enjoy its beauty.

Hudson Yards

Hudson Yards is a brand new real estate development within Manhattan - a mini city. It is the largest private real estate development in the country. It is home to Vessel, an elaborate honeycomb-like structure that rises 16 stories and consists of 154 flights of stairs, 2,500 steps, and 80 landings for visitors to climb.

As an adult family of four we chose this tour as we had done other similar ones in the past. It went from 11am- 2:00pm. Our host Chris was knowledgeable and fun as he explained some of the new and old of Chelsea Market and area - thanks in part to Google who saw its potential. An eclectic group of ten of us were walked through the market where a variety of shops and experiences were explained to us and then we got to sample some of this local fair: Japanese tacos, mini donuts, pizza & a vegan frozen dessert. What I also liked was that we were given a bit of time to ourselves where some fit in a blind wine tasting and others a hot sauce tasting which is a choice and costs extra but nice to have the option. The Chelsea High line walk down toward the Hudson was also interesting with art and history merging together. Our tour ended at a lovely chocolate shop. We were left to explore this amazing mall and area then we chose to walk back to our Time Square hotel. Would recommend.
