The Ultimate New York City Street Food Tour

Booked a last minute tour (day before) after a weekend of rain while visiting friends in NY. Greg showed up for just us 2 and met us exactly at the spot as indicated, super friendly and easy to talk to from the start. Greg is very knowledgeable about the area and talked about the different cultural locations. He had us try a mixture of different foods from places I never had (Pakistan, Indonesian, Colombian...). I'm from Los Angeles where we also have a hotpot of cultures however the difference is in NY we can hit so many different types of food within 5-10 min walking radius where as in LA it'll take a 30min-1hr to drive to type of food you want. Tour was 2.5hrs and totally worth our time, some food stalls were not open but don't worry, Greg has back ups.

Amazing food tour with a fantastic tour guide. We booked this food tour on our visit to NYC from the UK and we’re so glad we did. The food trucks were fantastic with such an array of different foods from different cultures that my partner and I would never normally pick back home. Greg told us stories about the city and Queens along the way which was super informative and made the tour even more interesting. There were only 2 of us on the tour which made it even better as we had our own private tour! We would definitely recommend this tour if visiting nyc!

incredible guide and delicious food

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!

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!

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.

Greg was so kind and accommodating. Definitely a recommend for those who want a tour of a less than typical tourist neighborhood!

Such a fun way to learn about one of New York City's most interesting neighborhoods! Greg was so knowledgeable and the food was amazing! I tried so many delicious things I had never eaten before.

Greg was a great host, we got to try food we never tried before and it's great to learn about the different cultural influences of Queens, absolutely would recommend it to anyone who loves to eat 😊

Greg was an awesome guide! We had always wanted to check out the food scene in Jackson Heights, but we didn’t know where to start. Greg knew all the spots to hit, and every stop was amazing!

Greg is clearly well versed on the culinary delights of Jackson Heights, he took us to many different countries in a square mile, was great to speak with, really knew about the history of the food vendors and picked some fantastic food spots for us to sample. Highly recommended, take your palate for a tour!

Amazing experience. Greg was very knowledgable and all round a superb way to sample the many excellent food trucks. Highly recommended. Thanks Greg! Martin, Leigh and Alek

We lucked into a private tour with just the two of us with our guide. Each spot featured new flavors and style of cuisine from different countries. We heard stories about the owners and the histories of the vendors and their competitors. We left with full bellies and a list of recommendations for our next trip. Highly recommend booking this food tour with Greg!

Greg was such an affable, knowledgeable, and fun host. We are New York residents, but we loved getting to explore Queens further!

Gave us the chance to explore a neighbourhood of such diverse culture. I won't spoil the details but a good selection of tasty food stops and Greg was really knowledgeable and interesting.

Enjoyed this tour very much. Greg was very knowledgeable not just about the different foods we were trying but about Queens and its neighborhoods. If you enjoy trying different foods from different cultures this tour is for you.

Really enjoyable tour! Greg, a Queens native and true foodie, was a pleasant and knowledgeable host, taking us through the highlights of this culturally variegated neighborhood. Greg also made a real effort to help me find a local food item that wasn’t on the tour. Takes about 2 hours, about 2 miles of walking, only about 30 mins by subway from midtown Manhatten. From juicy Tibetan momo to perfect Uruguayan alfajores, you will eat the globe -- highly recommended! .

The best food tour I have attended thus far. Greg knows the region (Burroughs) at a nuanced level. He also pays a deep respect to the diverse food and cultures that inhabit New York. I'm just so amazed at the global diversity that I tasted all within a few hours' walk. Greg was accommodating and kind in his approach. By the way, this is my SECOND tour with him. That's says, A lot! Thank you, Greg!

We had a great experience! Greg was fantastic! I have a few dietary restrictions (dairy and gluten) and Greg was able to accommodate my needs. The food was excellent! I would recommend Greg and this tour to anyone.

Greg was great! Very knowledgeable and informative. You can tell this tour is well curated and the dishes and places are top top tier. As good or better than 4 star restaurants. If you visit NYC you should definitely do this tour with Greg. One of the most memorable things to do.

My partner and I had an amazing experience on this food tour. Greg was so knowledgeable and the tour was designed in a very thoughtful way. Greg explained the history of each food we tried, the relationship between the food and the neighborhood, as well as an overview of how this vendor compares to other vendors in the neighborhood.

Hands down a great experience. Greg is so knowledgeable about the history, make up, and food of Queens. By the end of the tour it felt like you were hanging out with a friend. Best part of our trip to NYC, it's definitely a must do!

Highly recommend you check this one out. I bought tickets to this tour for a friends birthday. I was pleasantly surprised. Greg was very knowledgeable and thoughtful. The food was great and there was so much to go around with multiple servings. As a native New Yorker I loved how Greg displayed the rich diversity of Queens. He even introduced me to a few things I have never had before. Greg was organized and helpful. I saw him give directions to a tourist on the tour. He even packed ice water for all of the attendees since we happened to go when there was a heatwave in the city.

Greg was awesome. We are so full lol. Excellent tour and amazing food from some of the best vendors around. Highly recommend and we’ll be in touch when we come back through. Thanks Greg!!

Greg took us to 6 different countries in one burrow!! He gave us history behind each dish and truck we were eating from. He was able to accommodate for gluten free options! I loved the bañuelos. Yummmmmmmm!! Thank you for this truly unique experience. Wish we would have done this on the beginning of our trip, probably would have done a couple of tours with him, Queens is a great place to try so many different dishes. Thank you!!! What a great date night.

greg is the best. he is friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the neighborhoods and cuisine’s. jackson heights is a multi cultural playground. it is just fascinating. a true hidden gem. book your tour today.

Great sampling of many ethnicities and food styles. Greg is very friendly and easy to talk with and is a wealth of info about the local food scene. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you like to experience a variety of cuisines.

I loved the experience, I’ve done this twice and never regret. Greg is such a nice person and an expert on food, the history and the places.

Awesome tour! Highly recommend - lots of fun and a super interesting area of NYC. Good vibes and terrific food. Very knowledgable guide!

We wanted to explore parts of Queens we don’t usually get to visit and try something different and this food tour delivered in the best way. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and took us to some amazing hidden spots we never would’ve discovered on our own. Each stop gave us a taste of the neighborhood’s unique culture and flavors. As a bonus, after the tour, we received a message with the exact addresses of even more local gems we could check out on our own. It was a great way to continue the adventure with my wife and made the experience feel really personal. Highly recommend!

Greg was a wonderful tour guide and introduced us to the many different street food flavors of Jackson Heights. We tried food from Tibet, Bangladesh, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay, and more. And Greg did a great job telling us the history of the area and of the immigrant groups that give it such a distinct character and energy.

We love this food tour! Greg is very friendly, knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond. Jackson Heights is a diverse area with lots of authentic street food. The food portions were very tasty & generous. Greg shared many recommendations for good food around where we were staying too. We highly recommend this food tour, it was one of our favorite parts of our trip!

Our tour guide Greg was so personable making us feel totally relaxed. His knowledge of each dish was incredible! We look forward to our next visit!

What a great food experience! We sampled so many great foods that we wouldn’t have known to try. NYC has such a vast and diverse selection of ethnic cuisines that it’s impossible to sample it without a guide. Greg was so knowledgeable and friendly and he accommodated preferences that some members of the tour had. We will definitely connect with Greg when we return to NYC and recommend him to others. Definitely a great highlight of our trip! 👍

Greg was exceptional! He was able to pull out a last min food tour i was very new to the city! Wanted to try all the cultural diversity of nyc...Greg took me to thai,Bangladesh and Jackson heights,Flushing all at once and we tried so many foods! It was incredible!

Greg was a fantastic host. He was very knowledgeable on both the area and all the many food options in Queens. Great selection of food from different nationalities. Left feeling very full. Highly recommended.

Incredible tour with Greg! My family and I enjoyed all his knowledge in the area and all stops were thought out and the perfect amount of food. Thank you so much!

As solo traveler eating around the world- here in NYC it's hard to try all the food by yourself. So glad I found this tour- I have been meaning to explore Queens. Food tour with an expert of the place is a must! Totally an experience I would never forget! Definitely the highlight of my NYC solo trip! I can definitely keep doing this tour whenever I'm in NYC (depending on my wallet size)! Thank you, Greg for a memorable experience! God bless you!

Do not miss this tour! Greg is knowledgeable and charming. Food is fantastic! We went as a family for a birthday celebration, there was something for everyone. DG

Greg is a fantastic tour guide. Equal parts knowledgable and friendly. A born and raised New Yorker, accept no substitute. I learned so much about Queens street food from him. A+ tour.

We have gone on multiple food tours with Greg. He provides an amazing opportunity to experience the diverse culture in Jackson Heights. It’s more than just tasting a delicious variety of food, you get to experience different neighborhoods and Greg takes the time to explain background and history. I would highly recommend this and can't wait to book our next tour! Thank you, Greg for such a great experience

This was an amazing food tour. The highlight of trip. My friend and I went together and our hosts made us feel welcome, as if we had known each other for years! They’re very knowledgeable and they are the reason I would venture out in Queens! I highly recommend this tour to anyone!

This was such a treat! I learned lots about the neighborhoods and ate some of the best food I’ve had in the NYC area. Greg is knowledgeable and a fun guide.
