Updated for 2024: While we are currently running regular in-person
food tours of Jackson Heights, we still have this self-guided touring option for those who wish to go it alone, with confidence. This indoor-outdoor tour is a mix of street vendors, grab-and-go eating, and sit-down (casual) dining. It is best for small groups of 1-4 people. These 9 food stops encompass Indian, Bangladeshi, Tibetan, Nepali, Mexican, Colombian, and Thai eateries or vendors. (You will want to pick and choose among those stops, or else be carting home a ton of leftovers!)
This is the best way we know how to continue to support some of our favorite restaurants and vendors when we are unable to lead a tour (or have a guest who prefers to explore solo). Go forth and eat safely using this very detailed guide.
**Customized self-guided food tours (based upon favorite cuisines, vegetarian/gluten-free/dairy-free/peanut-free preferences, etc.) are also available, starting at $55. There is also a separate
vegan self-guided tour available.
Gift certificates for self-guided tours are available in this shop, or email laura@eatyourworld.com to request one yourself.
