THE ULTIMATE FOOD PARADISE
BECOME A CHELSEA MARKET INSIDER!
Join us for a culinary and historical journey through the renowned Chelsea Market, formerly the Nabisco Bakery, where the iconic Oreo Cookie was conceived. Find out why a steam engine train once chugged through the main corridor of the market, along with other captivating aspects that distinguish this market from its counterparts in the city. As you stroll through the market, indulge in a variety of culinary delights from a selection of our favorite vendors.
After that, we’ll leave the market and take a stroll on the High Line*, a beautiful and lush elevated park that runs along side the Hudson River that was once a part of a busy railroad system. Learn about The Meatpacking District and how it became a bustling new area for restaurants, shopping and hotels. Get ready for a delicious journey through the past and present!
*Walking on The Highline is WEATHER PERMITTING for safety reasons. 98% of tours walk on The Highline and only 2% of tours will only view The Highline.
