Overview

This guided walking food tour in New York City lasts about three hours and covers Chelsea Market, Pier 57, the High Line, and Hudson Yards. The tour includes tastings of Japanese-Mexican fusion tacos, Portuguese egg custard tarts, pan-fried dumplings, fresh hot mini donuts, classic New York pizza slice, and a specialty latte or iced tea depending on the season. Water is available at most stops. The tour begins at Chelsea Market, where you will learn about the area's history and see the Meatpacking District’s evolution from a 19th-century residential market area to a major meat producer in the 1930s, while sampling foods such as hot dogs made in-house at Dickson's Farmstand and treats from Doughnuttery and Joey Bats. From there, the group moves to Pier 57 for skyline and river views along with additional tastings. Next, the High Line is explored with insights into its art, history, design, and plants. The final stop is Hudson Yards, where you will learn about the development and the Vessel structure, which has 154 flights of stairs and 80 landings over 16 stories. The tour guide shares information and food tastings throughout. Alcoholic drinks are not included but can be purchased separately. Gratuities and hotel transfers are not included.
