I went on this tour with my sister. Both of us have been living in New York for some time and we’ve heard a million stories from our grandparents and parents about the time when they lived in the City. Going on this tour allowed me to expand my view, feel and imagine not only the stories of past times, but also the ones from all the cultures that converged in this point to create many worlds within one city. From the Lower East Side in Manhattan to Jackson Height in Queens, the tour made me realize I should take a brake more often to look around me and discover the historical, cultural, and culinary treasures that New York has to offer. I recommend it for any tourist or local who wants to find out what New York is really about and learn information you'll never see on a guide book. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a hat in the summer.

Queens, half of whose residents are foreign-born, is a polyglot mix where a vibrant strip of Latin American food vendors is sandwiched between blocks of Indo-Pakistani and Nepali-Tibetan shops, as well as a row of Thai, Indonesian and Vietnamese eateries. But neighborhoods like Astoria and Jackson Heights in Queens – considered the most multi-culturally diverse neighborhood in the world – are left off most New York travel itineraries. Streetwise NYC's tour weaves through all these sites, beginning with the more well-trodden immigrant centers of Manhattan (Chinatown, the Lower East Side and Little Italy - the "immigrant NYC" of Gangs of New York, The Godfather and history books) and ending in Elmhurst/Jackson Heights, Queens. Tour guide Andrew is a long-time resident of Queens and a reporter in the borough, and along the way, he not only points out great ethnic eateries and shops, but also offers historical and contemporary anecdotes, including stories and explanations for why food vendors are clustered on one side of a particular street; how so many electronic cookware stores can all survive clustered on one block; why Jackson Heights' majestic pre-war garden apartments were initially built and who lives there now; and the kinds of health concerns and social issues the new immigrant communities face. We took the Chinatown van with Chinese immigrants from Manhattan to Queens, which was a lot of fun, and ate at a family-run Indonesian restaurant whose name I can't remember (Andrew could tell you which; also, the food was delicious), but my favorite part of the tour were Andrew's stories. When you have only a short time to get to know a place, stories really bring it to life and give you a sense of how people there really live, where they might be going as they pass you on the sidewalk. I definitely recommend this tour for anyone who wants a more off-the-beaten-track experience of NYC, and anyone interested in immigrant America generally.

The Immigrant NYC tour was SO interesting and informative. Andrew was full of information, compelling stories, historical nuggets, and social context. I **highly** recommend it for anyone in NYC or visiting -- you'll understand better why NYC is how it is, the policies and people that made it that way, and how this city has become the most cosmopolitan corner of the world. We ate delicious food, walked a lot, and had 5 hours of stimulating and educational information about lower Manhattan and Queens. One of the best tours I have taken anywhere.
