Heading to NYC in the colder weather helped me narrow down which food tour I was going to take this time around. I traded in wandering through a neighbourhood outdoors to a tour of the famous indoor Chelsea Market. This turned out to be a great decision as it was very cold the day we went on tour. This is my third tour with Foods of New York and I have come to expe on the excellent food and interesting presentation.

If you have learned anything about my travel style through this blog, it’s probably that I love food tours! I try to take one on every trip I go on, and they never disappoint me. I recommend them over and over again to all my family and friends and they are almost always my favorite activity while travelling.

In the past the East End of London was home to poor immigrants, criminals and the disease-ridden, which is the reason for the area’s seedy past. As the city of London expanded it experienced massive over-crowding which caused many immigrants to look for residence outside of the city. Throughout the 19th century the East End was home to these various groups of people who came into and transformed the area into what it is today. Each group has left their own marks on London’s East End which is why it is such an incredibly interesting place to visit and explore.
