Overview

This diversity is perhaps best represented through Flushing’s stellar food scene. On this walk through the neighborhood, we’ll explore the area’s almost mind-blowing culinary diversity while also learning about Flushing’s fascinating history. We’ll visit vendors, the outdoor stands of local restaurants and some of Flushing’s mall-based food courts – considered by locals to have some of the area’s best eats – tasting delicacies from China, Korea, Vietnam and other countries. From stalls selling Hong Kong-style dim sum and snacks to bakeries turning out the Korean take on French pastries and a visit to a local kimchi maker, we’ll dive deep into the best that the neighborhood has to offer. On our Flushing food tour, we’ll take a look at some of area’s unique cultural markers, from a storefront Daoist temple to the Flushing Quaker Meeting House, built in 1694 – a testament to the important role the area, originally a Dutch settlement, has played in the history of New York.

A Unique Culinary Adventure

Esneider's knowledge of the neighborhood and his selection of food venues was incredible. This was a unique opportunity to experience culinary specialties in small, local establishments.

Highly reccommend as a way to experience Flushing

Sierra was such an awesome guide! Our day was filled with a variety of delicious food and interesting information. We walked away with full bellies and lot of new knowledge about the Flushing area.

Fantastic Food Tour!

One of the best food tours we've ever done! Esneider was a wonderful guide - friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. Besides eating an AMAZING array of foods, we learned about the history of Queens and visited some interesting local historical sites. We can't wait to try their other food tour in Queens!

Very enjoyable experience- feeding your head with local culture and history from a knowledgeable and personable guide, Sierra, as well as eating your fill of a great variety of very tasty foods. Come hungry and curious. I can't see how any foodie would be unhappy with this experience. I have taken 3 tours with Culinary Backstreets and am impressed with their high standards.

SO DELICIOUS

My friends and I did their other tour in Queens and knew we had to try this one!! SO. FUN. We had the absolute best time and ate so much delicious food. Esneider is an incredible tour guide. I'd go on his tour if it was about mashed potatoes b/c he makes everything so interesting with historical / sociological context and personal anecdotes.
