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.

Josh the tour guide was great. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I was expecting more food on a good tour as opposed to mostly free samples given out as part of the tour. I would highly suggest starting the tour a little later as the tour started off with sweets and ended with sweets. The Tacos were delicious as was the pizza. The walk portion was also highly enjoyable.

I took this tour yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We met Megan, our excellent guide, at Chelsea Market and she shared a slew of interesting facts about its 23-year history and its ongoing development. We had the opportunity to taste food at several outlets in the market; it was all extremely tasty and very good quality food, and included both sweet and savoury dishes. These tastings were followed by a walk along part of the High Line (a must for any NYC visitor) and finished with an introduction to the interesting new Hudson Yards area. Megan was a very warm and friendly guide and, as well as being armed with so many facts, she was keen to answer any questions from the group. This was my first time doing a tour with Like a Local Tours, but I’ll certainly be looking at further tours with them in future, given this was such a positive experience.

You start with a good tour in the market, learned a bit of history and then walk the food off on the high line and end at the foot of the new Vessel. Includes a few good tastes and a few samples. Of the 3 food/history/architecture tours I did on this visit, I’m going to have to rank this one last. The guide had different conversations with whoever was closest as we walked the Highline any information was lost to anyone who wasn’t right next to her. Still a decent amount of food and mission was provided.
