New York City Gourmet Markets Tour   8am Eli's and Butterfield Markets, the Upper East Side and Arthur Avenue. Saturday, 09/25/10 $65 Join us a great new trip to Manhattan's Upper East Side and Arthur Avenue, two must-see spots for foodies. Our day begins with coffee and danish at the store. We board a comfortable coach at 8 a.m. and head to the city. Our first stop is the Upper East Side and Eli's Market, a huge market inspired by the food halls of Europe. Under one roof you'll find everything you need to for a delicious meal - from butchered meats to pristine seafood to house made bread and wine. The group will be met by a representative of the store who will help gudie us through this food wonderland. While there you can stroll over to Butterfield Market (named for phone exchange of the area), a small, select market that opened in 1915. Not your run of the mill grocer, they offer fruits, vegetables, organics, bread, pastries and a variety of prepared products. Last but not least, you'll explore a beautiful section of the city that is full of delicatessens, fine chocolate shops, bread stores and more. From there, were off to Arthur Avenue, an area that while not as well-now as it's Manhattan counterpart, could be considered New York's real Little Italy. It has been the commercial center for one of the largest Italian communities in the country and is as vibrant as ever, home to authentic delis, bakeries, specialty market and fish stores. There you'll be treated to a fantastic array of fresh pasta, aged cheeses, cured olives and crispy cannolis. There's also a seemingly endless number of neat cafes and restaurants on the avenue that use these great ingredients in incredible dishes. We'll board the bus around 4 p.m. and return to the store for snacks and beverages. Coolers welcome. Act fast, spaces are limited.          to Shopping Basket
