Overview

Eat around the world without leaving New York City on this guided food tour of Astoria. Become a modern day Anthony Bourdain as you follow a local expert foodie to the city's best hidden gem eateries, chowing down on food from five countries in just fifteen blocks — including some of Bourdain's favorites.

- Come hungry. You'll get five generous tastings that are more than enough for lunch

- Savor the flavors of Morocco, Italy, Egypt, Greece and Brazil, all without needing to take out your passport

- Rather than overcrowded and overpriced Times Square restaurants, you’ll sample food from hole-in-the-wall locally owned establishments

- Each stop is an adventure, as you banter with the people behind the counter of an old school Italian deli and get insider access to the chef at America’s first Egyptian restaurant

- The tour begins a mere 25 minute subway ride from Times Square

- After the tour, you'll receive a curated digital map with other neighborhood recommendations
