About

Madison is a quintessential New Jersey suburb in many ways. But in recent years, it has quietly become an undercover foodie favorite. There's a lot more to the Rose City than flowers and former presidents!

Join us for this specially curated Food Tour of Madison. Chow Town Food Tours will lead this 3-hour guided exploration of Madison's outstanding food, culture, history, and community with exclusive tastings from the chefs and owners of some of the best restaurants in the area.

And on July 25, we are thrilled to host this tour jointly with our friends at the Museum of Early Trades and Crafts, who will lend their historical insights to the experience.

Highlights

This tour will go behind the counter and delve into the fascinating history of the community, including:

  • the historic facade of the old Madison Trust Company and other architectural highglights
  • an often-overlooked sculptural homage to the town's namesake
  • the unique backstory behind architectural landmarks like the Museum of Early Trades & Crafts
  • and more!

  • historical insights from our nonprofit partners, the Museum of Early Trades & Crafts
