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.

The food! the guide! The City! the History! This was my 2nd time doing the Chelsea Market food tour. The 1st set a very high bar. Joe ( our amazing guide ) raised the bar even higher. A native New Yorker, he shared history as well as personal experiences. He engaged all of us….treated us like family. The food!!!!such generous portions, a wide variety and in a perfect sequence. We had a wonderful experience and I know we will do it again this coming summer.

Thank you so much for coming back and taking this tour again! We're happy to hear that both experiences were so great and will make sure to let Joe know he did an amazing job!

I embarked on this tour on December 11, 2021, with Chris as our guide. Chris did a great job as our guide. The tour was a great way to try many different foods in the Chelsea market (tacos, pizza, ice cream, donuts, hot sauce, honey) while learning the history of the area. The tour also included a walk down the high line and a discussion of the various buildings and artwork hugging the walkway. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

We enjoyed learning about the meatpacking district and Russell was very knowledgeable. Chelsea Market was fun, samples were tasty and varied and so interesting to see hear how the Highline came about. Our only regret was the pace of the tour. We would have appreciated a little slower pace, especially on the Highline, to do some picture taking and have time to really look at the art and landscaping.
