About the Tour
During this three hour small group experience, you’ll enjoy the cuisines of five countries in about fifteen blocks. Rather than overcrowded and overpriced Times Square restaurants, you’ll sample food from hole-in-the-wall locally owned establishments. Each stop is an escapade in-and-of-itself, as you banter with the people behind the counter of an old school Italian deli, hear stories from the owner and chef at America’s first Egyptian restaurant, and pick your own fish from a market to have prepared right in front of you. To eat like a local in New York, come to the neighborhood where the locals eat best and let us take your taste buds around the world.
Meet your guide inside Dar Lbahja, a local Moroccan restaurant, to try a Chicken Pastilla as your fellow guests arrive
Walk down the street to an old-school Italian deli, filled with sandwiches named after everything from Robert de Niro to the Q18 bus, for some light browsing and a tasting representative of Astoria's cultural blend
Stop inside America's first Egyptian eatery, a menu-less hole-in-the-wall you'd never find on Google Maps, and enjoy a sampler platter while the establishment's chef teaches you about Egyptian cooking
Journey down Astoria's main street and visit a Brazilian cafe for some chocolatey and cheesy bites
Wrap up your day at a Greek seafood restaurant where you pick out the very fish the chefs prepare for you
