Asia in Queens: Exploring NYC’s Largest Chinatown

Overview

This diversity is perhaps best represented through Flushing’s stellar food scene. On this walk through the neighborhood, we’ll explore the area’s almost mind-blowing culinary diversity while also learning about Flushing’s fascinating history. We’ll visit vendors, the outdoor stands of local restaurants and some of Flushing’s mall-based food courts – considered by locals to have some of the area’s best eats – tasting delicacies from China, Korea, Vietnam and other countries. From stalls selling Hong Kong-style dim sum and snacks to bakeries turning out the Korean take on French pastries and a visit to a local kimchi maker, we’ll dive deep into the best that the neighborhood has to offer. On our Flushing food tour, we’ll take a look at some of area’s unique cultural markers, from a storefront Daoist temple to the Flushing Quaker Meeting House, built in 1694 – a testament to the important role the area, originally a Dutch settlement, has played in the history of New York.

Eschneider was an incredibly informative and knowledgeable guide, not only about the many restaurants we visited and foods we tried, but about the people, cultures, and languages of Flushing. It was a privilege to sample a bit of what this vibrant neighborhood had to offer, and I can’t wait to visit again!

Sierra did a great job showing us many different types of food from the various communities which make up Flushing Chinatown. She also gave us interesting facts about the history of Queens and some of the historic buildings. We are very pleased to have shared the experience with her.

Esneider was such a knowledgeable guide. Flushing is a food paradise and he knew all the little ‘hole in the wall’ treats and gracefully stitched in the settler and migrant history of the region. Highly recommended this tour.
