Market 57 Good Tour - Highly recommend the Market 57 food tour! Our tour guide, Liz, was the BEST!! We learned so much about the cuisine, chefs, venue and history of the area. The food was delicious with so many different flavors. We hope to do another tour next time we are in NYC!

Trendy Spot! - Market 57, is a trendy spot for all. The Rooftop is supreme. It’s a great place to meet up & have some food with food venues. Lounge areas in the back & a bar in the rear. Even a hotdog venue for all but especially kids, it’s too cute. I recommend this spot.

Great tour experience for my birthday - My husband and I actually did two of their food tours. The little Italy/Chinatown tour and then the Market 57 tour. They were both great and the tasting samples were delicious and plentiful. My husband and I even had a whole to go bag of food left over. We definitely would recommend. Both tour guides were great but a special shout out to Liz she really went above and beyond for us and was especially kind. I would do this tour again the next time I am in New York.

So Many Tasty Bites - Had a great time today on the Market 57 tour. Our guide Patrick was so personable and knowledgeable about the Market, the vendors and their cuisine as well as the surrounding area. All 7 stops on the tour were unique and delicious 😋 I highly recommend Ahoy Food Tours.

Highly recommend! - The location is amazing, and Pier 57's history, and current mission to provide a place for chefs' to build, thrive, and share culinary expertise is one we were enthused to support! Our guide Liz was delightful, the tastings were delicious. You will not be disappointed! This is a tour for all; accessible, all inside, and no distance walking.

Amazing time eating in Chelsea - We had an amazing time on the Chelsea tour! We had no idea how many delicious restaurants were at Market 57 and it was wonderful to sample them all and hear about their history. They were also great at accommodating dietary restrictions. And our guide Liz was incredible - we can't wait to visit again!

Awesome tour, delicious bites! - Liz was out your guide and so thoughtful and knowledgeable. We went during a very busy time (December) but were able to discover the footstalls and get our bites with ease. I felt like a learned a little bit about the city I didn’t know before and were able to try really yummy food I’d probably never order on my own. Fun experience and delicious lunch!

A great new experience on the Hudson riverfront - I highly recommend this tour. Really interesting addition to the Hudson riverfront, great food selections, and the best part is the tour directors, Liz and Alana. Liz was mesmerizing as she mixed stories about the individual vendors, James Beard and his Foundation, and the history of the pier with each new food experience. I've added this to my list of visitor adventures. As a bonus, it's next to Little Island and access to the Highline.

Great tour! - We’ve taken Ahoy tours a few times and have always had a great time. We took the tour of Market 57 and Liz E was so personable, funny and also well informed about the market and all the vendors that I felt like an insider! The food was delicious and for all that we got, the price is a bargain.
