THE ULTIMATE FOOD PARADISE
BECOME A CHELSEA MARKET & HIGH LINE INSIDER!
Join us for a delicious culinary and historical journey through the renowned Chelsea Market, formerly the Nabisco Bakery, where the iconic Oreo Cookie was conceived. Along the way, you’ll discover the fascinating history, culture, and stories that transformed this historic building into one of New York City’s most beloved food destinations.
Learn why a steam engine train once chugged through the market’s main corridor and uncover other captivating details that set Chelsea Market apart from any other food hall in the city. As you explore, enjoy a variety of mouth-watering tastings from some of our favorite vendors while gaining insider knowledge about the owners, the foods you taste, and what makes this neighborhood so special.
After exploring the market, we’ll head to the High Line, the beautiful, elevated park that stretches alongside the Hudson River on what was once an active railroad line. Your guide will share the remarkable story of the High Line’s transformation and the evolution of the Meatpacking District from an industrial hub into one of Manhattan’s most vibrant neighborhoods for dining, shopping, and culture.
With the perfect blend of exceptional food, local storytelling, neighborhood history, and expert recommendations, this tour offers far more than just food tastings, it’s an immersive New York City experience. And with 27 years of experience, we’ve handled all the planning, so you can simply enjoy the tour!
