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.

Great tour. We really enjoyed sampling the foods at Chelsea market whilst learning loads of history about the place. Loved the walk along the High Line and the introduction to Hudson Yard. We went back to one of the recommended places in the evening. We’d never have found it on our own. A great way to spend 3 hours & see a different face of New York.

Anyone new to the city should experience a tour like this with a local guide in your first couple of days. It opens your eyes too so much that you wouldn’t otherwise experience, even with all the research I had done! Lara was such a great guide, with a big friendly attitude and so much to share. We somehow got really lucky on a quiet day, and had her to ourselves effectively as a private guide, so we got to ask her all kinds of questions about being in New York. The range of food we tried in Chelsea Market was amazing - with the pizza and Halva tahini ice cream being the big hits for me! We also got time to explore a little on our own, before heading off on the High Line part of the tour, which is such a beautiful way to view and experience the city. We ended with one last sweet treat, and then went off to explore the shopping area of Hudson Yards where the tour ends. A fantastic start to our time here we will never forget.
