QUEENS-FLUSHING MEADOW INTERNATIONAL FOOD EXCURSION (QFME)

Not a food tour but a food excursion to New York’s greatest outdoor food market festival with a walk-through in one of the city’s most beautiful and famous parks. If you want to visit real New York you need to visit Queens, the true melting pot of the world’s melting pot, New York City. With about 150 dialects and languages spoken, Queens is the most mixed place on the planet. Meet your group outside Grand Central Terminal for a subway ride to Queens and travel to world famous Flushing Meadow-Corona Park, home to the 1939-1940 and 1964-1965 World’s Fairs, The US Open Tennis Tournament and Major League Baseball’s NY Mets Home Run Apple and The Unisphere, the great (700,000 lb. /317,515 kg) globe of the world. After a park walk-through with amazing picture taking opportunities enjoy incredible eats from local Queens vendors at the Queens Night Market, our favorite New York food experience. Choose what you like from an amazing variety of international cuisines at amazing prices. You’ll be free to enjoy the market at your own pace and sharing within your group or family is part of the experience. Stay as long as you like and return to Manhattan with easy subway directions from your guide. Tickets are available with or without a food credit.  This is a scheduled public tour with individual ticket sales set to run in the summer of 2023 and each guest requires a ticket.  Excursion runs most Saturdays from early May to mid-August and meets mid-afternoon. Two ride subway pass or OMNY fare payment required per person. Please note: This is an outdoor market and park walk-through experience and not a traditional food tour.
