What To Expect
We will be exploring the world via street food in the one of the world’s most diverse areas just 15-20 minutes from Midtown Manhattan. We will be eating a lot. ALL food we order on the tour is included in the price! In this neighborhood of Queens, carts and trucks come out with some of the most delicious food to be had in NYC. Many places we visit are hole in the wall, hidden gems that aren't easily noticed if you were to walk through the neighborhood on your own. These are places that we frequent and where we eat often and want to share them with you! We'll also share more information about the neighborhood, vendors and cuisines so you can learn more along with getting a great meal. Often, the vendors will change by day, so each tour may be unique. Our journey may take you from Tibet to Mexico and more in between. You will have the opportunity to learn more about New York City from a native's perspective. Itineraries can be tweaked for dietary restrictions. Come with an open mind, comfortable shoes, empty stomach and we'll take care of the rest! Other things to note: We will be walking about two miles outdoors with minimal seating or tables.

5.00Greg was an awesome guide! We had always wanted to check out the food scene in Jackson Heights, but we didn’t know where to start. Greg knew all the spots to hit, and every stop was amazing!
Absolutely awesome experience

5.00Greg is clearly well versed on the culinary delights of Jackson Heights, he took us to many different countries in a square mile, was great to speak with, really knew about the history of the food vendors and picked some fantastic food spots for us to sample. Highly recommended, take your palate for a tour!
Amazing experience. Greg...

5.00We lucked into a private tour with just the two of us with our guide. Each spot featured new flavors and style of cuisine from different countries. We heard stories about the owners and the histories of the vendors and their competitors. We left with full bellies and a list of recommendations for our next trip. Highly recommend booking this food tour with Greg!

5.00Enjoyed this tour very much. Greg was very knowledgeable not just about the different foods we were trying but about Queens and its neighborhoods. If you enjoy trying different foods from different cultures this tour is for you.
A great tour through one of NYC's best food neighborhoods

5.00Really enjoyable tour! Greg, a Queens native and true foodie, was a pleasant and knowledgeable host, taking us through the highlights of this culturally variegated neighborhood. Greg also made a real effort to help me find a local food item that wasn’t on the tour. Takes about 2 hours, about 2 miles of walking, only about 30 mins by subway from midtown Manhatten. From juicy Tibetan momo to perfect Uruguayan alfajores, you will eat the globe -- highly recommended! .
AMAZING EXPERIENCE...

5.00The best food tour I have attended thus far. Greg knows the region (Burroughs) at a nuanced level. He also pays a deep respect to the diverse food and cultures that inhabit New York. I'm just so amazed at the global diversity that I tasted all within a few hours' walk. Greg was accommodating and kind in his approach. By the way, this is my SECOND tour with him. That's says, A lot! Thank you, Greg!
