Asia in Queens: Exploring NYC’s Largest Chinatown in New York City booking from $175.00

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.

Just finished a tour with Sierra, I can’t say enough. It was amazing the food was so authentic and delicious. I also feel like I learned so much about Flushing Queens. Sierra also went out of the way to take us to an unbelievable tea shop. We plan on doing another tour this summer. Louise

The Flushing food tour with Esneider was amazing! He was so knowledgeable of the history of the area and took us to so many great food spots. Really felt like we were locals enjoying the best Flushing has to offer. Esneider was immensely friendly and we loved spending the day with him. Also great mix of eating/walking which we liked. You go to plenty of places and learn so much. We loved it :)
