Aaron K about Queens Tastes of the World

New Years 2011-2012
Jeff is incredible! He was so prepared! His tours are a sincere delight to add to one's travels.... I wish we could find a "Jeff" in every city in the world! He took us through all of these imaginary borders through the streets of Queens, and took us into the most UNEXPECTED delightful restaurants! Our palettes were so completely fulfilled from top to bottom and in every way. We arrived with completely open minds, and left with belly's full to the brim. If you have the time... PLEASE CALL HIM! It will truly change the way you see New York!

Andrew L about Queens Midnight Street Crawl

Unique and Tasty!
This tour really opened our eyes about the food scene in NYC. Far from just Michelin starred restaurants, by the pound salad bars in Midtown or 50 different pizzas made by someone named Ray, New York's cultural melting pot is alive and well! We all owe Jeff a great deal of gratitude in bringing these "hidden" ethnic foods to the surface. His interest and passion in learning about this subject is one of his key strengths. The fact that he continues to learn, ask questions and experiment on each tour makes each one unique and satisfying. Bring a big appetite, a curiosity for adventure and warm jacket (if you choose to go on a Sunday night in December)... then give this tour a whirl, you will unlikely be disappointed.

Ann R about Queens Tastes of the World

Queens Tastes of the World
We had an amazing Saturday afternoon with Jeff tasting foods from Asia (Tibet, Nepal, India, Thailand and Bangladesh) and South America (Ecuador and Mexico). It was like taking a trip around the world, just by getting on the 7 train! Two families, 11 people and 12+ courses. Jeff was a wonderful guide, handing out maps, orienting us, leading us to exotic authentic locations and telling us what we were tasting. It's exactly what I've always wanted to do - to take advantage of living in New York and explore these many faceted cultures. I have henna on my hand, a full stomach and rich memories from one single afternoon. Highly recommended!

Delicious food tasting walk
if you want to have an extraordinary food experience in NYC go with Jeff at Queens Taste of the World. Several of our friends munched our way down Roosevelt Avenue in Jackson Heights. The delicacies included tomales, cheese guava buns, Tibetan butter tea and fantastic Thai food. A wonderful afternoon and only a subway ride away.

Food Walk and Chow Down.
What a great way to spend the afternoon, walking, chatting and eating. Jeffrey truely is appreciative of how all the cultures we live with express themselves through food! I would do this again in a second, I just need a little time to digest. This is a great present for any food explorers as well as your basic hungar types.

A Great Birthday!
For my birthday this year I took 8 friends on Jeff's 'Queens tastes of the World' food walk, and it was so much fun! He is a thoughtful, knowledgeable guide to an expansive and delicious neighborhood. My friends loved it too, what a treat!

Ben G about Queens Midnight Street Crawl

The 'Real' New York
Jeff's Queens Midnight Street Crawl was fantastic. A true down on the street experience. The food is real and the people are real. Jeff's intimate knowledge of the area and his enthusiasm for the food and the street vendors means you get great food, meet some great people and see a part of New York you probably wouldn't have seen. Do this before Jeff makes it into the Lonely Planet and has to hire a bus!

Super cool!
more than great food, more than culture it was a glimpse into life, a life in queens - after dark! Jeff is open, knowledgable, a guy you feel you have known for years. It was a true travel experience. We loved it!
