This was an amazing tour and 100% due to Esneider. He is super knowledgeable and amicable. It's not just food he knows, it's history, culture, migration, urban studies, and music. I was interested in Queens as it's the largest, most modern iteration of a Chinatown in NYC, and he had answers for all my questions about the neighborhoods, the current issues of gentrification and development, of what kind of groups are immigrating in and out, the changes in food culture and trends, everything. It's not just the food in Queens, but the full context. I was in heaven. And the food, yet another plane of heaven. And a lot of it. Bring Tupperware (but he's prepared too)! I cannot recommend this highly enough, completely worth it.
