Description

We believe that you haven't really eaten in NYC until you've eaten in Queens. Go beyond the typical food tour and step just minutes from Manhattan into Jackson Heights with local guides. On this guided tour, you’ll visit 4–5 South Asian spots, from food trucks to small and hidden sit-down restaurants. Along the way, your guides share personal stories of growing up South Asian and what it means to find pieces of home in New York. You’ll learn how immigration, community, and food intersect here through real conversations and lived experience. Expect dishes you likely haven’t tried before, tastings that add up to a full meal and a deeper understanding of the cultures behind them. Come hungry and curious!
