A tour with historical info and stops at a handful of the food stalls in the Chelsea Market and Market 57. Advice: skip breakfast and come hungry! Note that Lauren isn’t the guide and 6 isn’t the maximum number of guests. Our group had 12 people and it was fine but not intimate or full of “hidden gems” as in the description.

We had to leave at 1PM to catch our flight, but a croissant and a slice of pizza is not really what I expected for a food tour ... ;(

The tour of Flatiron will give you a comprehensive look at the history of the district and New York City. She weaves in lots of fun anecdotes about the neighborhood and where the food you eat comes from. We tried New York staples and artisanal takes on classic dishes. I loved getting a true sense of how what I tasted was shaped by the changing of time!

We had a wonderful time exploring parts of NYC that we had never been to! We live in northern New Jersey and are in the city plenty, but really enjoyed learning the history of the areas we visited! The food at Chelsea Market was AMAZING and our guide was so great! Thank you for such a fun experience!

We participated in the Chelsea Market-High Line food tour. It was a great experience and the food was good but our tour guide was even better! David was friendly, knowledgeable and energetic! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and we would not hesitate to book again. Thank you David! You are awesome!!
