QUEENS FOOD TOUR
*As seen in The Wall Street Journal and Gothamist!*
Our long-running “around the world” Jackson Heights food tours are just as popular with curious New Yorkers as they are with out-of-towners looking to experience a real slice of NYC.
We love to share our passion for the diverse neighborhood we’ve called home for 15 years. We can accommodate a wide range of eaters—mixed or private groups, company teams, school groups, kids—and dietary restrictions. We run more sustainable tours using compostable utensils and plates, and donate a portion of tour proceeds back to worthy causes in the area.
ABOUT EAT YOUR WORLD
Part global food database, part travel destination guide, and part Queens food experts/tour operators, Eat Your World isn’t your typical blog. We are an online resource for regional food and drinks around the globe founded on the principle that what you eat depends on where you are.
We believe local cuisines are worth celebrating. To that end we spotlight the unique culinary traditions of cities around the world, from Detroit to Delhi. We feature regional dishes, their cultural context, and the local restaurants in which they’re found. We work with writers around the globe and encourage users to upload their own local food photos and Food Memory stories.
