Tom has a great expertise when it comes to food! Definitely a great way to find great food with friends and family as Tom guides you through Flushing!! He’s a true local, who’s very kind and funny! Highly recommend! We will be visiting Tom again soon!
Such a fun experience!! Even as a NYC local, I discovered so many spots and dishes in Flushing that I never would’ve found on my own. The food was amazing, but what really stood out was learning more about the neighborhood and the stories behind the dishes. The tour never felt rushed or overly scripted, which I really appreciated. Definitely one of the most memorable food experiences I’ve had in NYC. Highly recommend booking Tom's tours!
