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!

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!
