Queens Food, Wine & Nightlife

This Queens food tour blew us away. The food was incredible, specific dishes you won’t find anywhere else in the city.Greg clearly loves this neighborhood and what he does. Every stop came with a story, plus tip after tip on where to come back to and what to order.Fun, delicious, and we actually learned a ton. Can’t recommend it enough.

Greg was an incredible guide and made our Queens food tour one of the highlights of our trip. As a local, his knowledge of the neighborhood, its history, and its incredible food scene was unmatched. What really stood out wasn’t just the delicious food—it was the stories behind each stop. We loved learning about the diverse cultures represented by the vendors and hearing how many of these small businesses, especially the street vendors, have built their livelihoods and become such an important part of the community.Greg was flexible, friendly, and genuinely passionate about sharing Queens with us. You could tell he has deep relationships with the local vendors, which made the experience feel authentic and personal. If you’re looking for more than just a food tour—something that gives you a true appreciation for the people, culture, and history behind the food—I can’t recommend Greg highly enough. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish!

Jim was a fantastic guide to the incredible food scene in Jackson Heights. He does a lot of community volunteering and seems to knows everyone. The fuchka is spectacular and it was a real pleasure to hang out with him over chai afterwards and hear about the local school and soccer scene.

It is a delightful mix of food and culture of Queens. Of course this can’t be captured in a two hour excursion, but Jasmine did a terrific job of showing this corner of the world in all its joy and wonderment.

Steven is a really great guide. Lives right in the neighborhood. He was kind, informative and a good story teller. Highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic and fun. First time exploring this area it was great to have structure to enjoy this place.

My partner and I had a wonderful afternoon touring Jackson Heights with Greg. We stopped at 6 food trucks, learning about the history of Queens and about the vendors along the way. Greg was super fun, knowledgeable, and a bit of a celebrity in Queens. This tour was one of our favorite things we did while in NYC!

We picked one of the hottest days of the year to do this tour, and it was worth every drop of sweat. This was a well-planned and thoughtful tour from start to finish — our guide Greg took us deep into Jackson Heights, one of the most culturally rich neighborhoods in NYC, and gave us history on the food, the vendors, and the borough at every stop.Highlights: Tibetan momos that were soft and perfectly steamed, Pakistani halal chicken over rice that was the best I've ever had, and a Colombian buñuelo with soursop filling that was pure delight. The Bangladeshi fuchki with tamarind sauce from Tong — the first fuchki truck in America — was a flavor explosion, paired with hot cha that hit just right on a scorching day. The Mexican cemita was stacked and incredible. We wrapped things up with alfajores at a cozy Uruguayan café covered wall-to-wall in soccer jerseys — the perfect sweet ending.As a born-and-raised Brooklyn girl, I didn't expect to fall in love with Queens the way I did. Greg's knowledge and passion made every bite feel like a story, and the pacing and stops felt genuinely well thought out. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to actually taste a neighborhood, not just walk through it. Already planning to book another one with Greg in a different neighborhood!

Jim’s tour of Jackson Heights is unlike anything else in New York City. Instead of the usual tourist sights, he takes you deep into the South Asian heart of the neighborhood.. introducing you to hidden spots, bustling markets, and food spots you’d never find on your own.What makes it so special is Jim himself. He knows the history, the culture, and the people here, and he weaves stories together in a way that makes you feel part of the community, not just a visitor. Along the way, we tasted incredible dishes, met local shopkeepers, and saw a side of New York I’ll never forget.If you want a tour that’s authentic, personal, and unforgettable, book with Jim. He doesn’t just show you a neighborhood.. he helps you experience it.

Jim was very knowledgeable and accommodating !

The tour guide, Greg, was FANTASTIC, friendly, informative, not too much talk, just the right amount of interesting info about the food, the trucks, the neighborhood, etc. He did not treat us like generic guests. He added a personal touch and took a genuine interest in his visitors. It's like having a mellow, good friend take you around—his enthusiasm for the neighborhood and the food are also genuine and contagious. We plan to book another tour with him in a different neighborhood. Thanks so much.

Great food with a great, knowledgeable host! Tried food we had never tried and in some cases never heard of. I had always wanted to visit and eat my way around Queens on trips to nyc but never knew where to start. The perfect way for visitors to do it.

Excellent choices at each food stop. Unique, local, authentic dishes and flavors.

Greg is the best! He led my son and I all through Jackson Heights. We tried so many unique things and Greg explained everything perfectly and patiently. We look forward to booking with him again on our next trip.If you’re looking for something different, off of the beaten path, and delicious in NYC this is it!

Greg is fantastic, super kind and knowledgable. We had a great time tasting foods we'd never had on this tour and learning more about the neighborhood through his eyes.
