2026 Azië in Queens : Het grootste Chinatown van NYC verkennen
Beschrijving
Deze diversiteit komt misschien wel het best tot uiting in de stellaire foodscene van Flushing. Tijdens deze wandeling door de wijk verkennen we de bijna verbluffende culinaire diversiteit van het gebied en leren we ook over de fascinerende geschiedenis van Vlissingen. We bezoeken verkopers, de buitenkraampjes van lokale restaurants en enkele van de in Flushing gevestigde foodcourts – door de lokale bevolking beschouwd als een van de beste eetgelegenheden in het gebied – en proeven delicatessen uit China, Korea, Vietnam en andere landen. Van kraampjes die dim sum en snacks in Hongkong-stijl verkopen tot bakkerijen waar de Koreaanse kijk op Frans gebak wordt getoond en een bezoek aan een lokale kimchimaker, we duiken diep in het beste dat de buurt te bieden heeft. Tijdens onze Flushing food tour nemen we een kijkje bij een aantal unieke culturele bezienswaardigheden van het gebied, van een daoïstische tempel aan de winkel tot het Flushing Quaker Meeting House, gebouwd in 1694 – een bewijs van de belangrijke rol die het gebied, oorspronkelijk een Nederlandse nederzetting, heeft gespeeld in de geschiedenis van New York.

This is by far the best food tour I have ever been on. Our guide, Sierra was incredibly nice and so knowledgeable. I like that they keep the groups small and that the tour isn't just about food, but about the neighborhood and it's history as well. We had an amazing time. Thank you Sierra! We hope to see you again.

The tour of Flushing's Chinatown exceeded my expectations. I went with a friend from California who had been on 2 Culinary Backstreets tours and suggested we take a New York tour. As a long time NYC resident I had been to Flushing numerous times but this tour took us to places I didn't know existed. Our guide Sierra was delightful, incredibly knowledgeable about the food we were eating and the history of Flushing. The itinerary was well thought out and we got to try so many delicious dishes. I'm traveling to LA in September and plan on taking one of Culinary Backstreets tours there.

We explored the tremendous culinary diversity of China in a relatively small area of downtown Flushing with our incredibly knowledgeable guide, Sierra. We sampled so many delicious items that we had no idea existed. Sierra made sure we paced ourselves so as to not to feel ill. Sierra has an extensive culinary background so we learned about Chinese items, food culture and the neighborhood history.

We had a wonderful tour with Sierra last week. They were filled with knowledge enthusiasm and passion about everything we saw— from the different varieties and cross cultural evolution of the egg tart to how the colors of clothing and the amount of landscaping in the post office murals of early Queens settlements can tell you more than you even imagined about the history and sociology of the borough. Oh, and the food — consistneky delish and often surprising — who knew that plain boiled fish dumplings could be so tasty!

Sierra was a great guide. Her knowledge of the area and its history together with her vast knowledge of Asian cuisine was exceptional. We ate delicious food some of which I have never tried before and went to hole in the walls and small outlets. This tour has really added to our New York holiday. Thank you!

Sierra was a great guide! We visited multiple food halls, stopped for snacks at "magic windows" (bao, dumplings, roasted sweet potato, New York version of Macao version of pastel de nata, ..), and also got a bit of history and culture. Who knew that the Flushing post office had WPA murals?
