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.

Perfect tour with Jessie!! She was an excellent tour guide. She was laid back, gave us some very interesting information. Saw all the sights I wanted to see and never felt rushed. The pizza was absolutely amazing.

We had a good time on this tour! Jessie is a knowledgeable hostess/tour guide. The stroll along the Highline was an interesting look into a different neighborhood of the City.

Our guide, Jessie, was friendly, relaxed, informative and patient. Everything went smoothly and it was timed well (11 - 2). We began with tiny doughnuts. Next stop was a delicious Japanese-inspired taco. Then a large slice of margarita pizza. Then we tasted tahini butter and tahini ice cream. Not sure if that was part of the tour because the owner was situated across from the pizza restaurant and just started giving out samples without being introduced by Jessie. Next was hot sauce and, later, at Hudson Yards, some gourmet chocolate. At Chelsea market we had a bit of time to shop. I had been wanting to visit the Highline Park and I enjoyed the 30-minute walk along it with Jessie’s commentary. At the end she made herself available for questions about other things to see or how to get to our next destination. I just recently did a food tour in Nashville TN, but this one was cheaper (by $14) and SO much better. I know Nashville is not NYC, but still. Everything was perfect: Jessie, the weather, the food, the cost, and the size of the group (10 - 12). Definitely take this tour!
