Astoria Cultural Food and Neighborhood Tour

We walk through Little Greece or “Greektown,” where the food, people, churches and entire vibe make you feel like you’re walking the streets of Greece — not Queens. Within steps, we make our way to “Little Egypt” where we walk by various Middle Eastern businesses and sample cuisine from the region. Residents from various South and Central American countries are also represented in Astoria, and our food palate takes full advantage.
Astoria is a melting pot of flavors and cultures, and this tour brings you the best of both worlds. Explore its streets, savor its dishes, and learn the stories behind its iconic eateries.

On the Astoria Walking Food Tour, you will:
- Taste flavors from around the world
- See the neighborhood’s unique character
- Hear stories of culture and tradition
- Experience a global food haven

Astoria

Astoria, New York

Just a short subway ride from Manhattan, Astoria is a vibrant and unique neighborhood in Queens. It’s a cool and appealing spot, celebrated for its cultural diversity and its rich array of delicious, eclectic food options from authentic Greek cuisine to Middle Eastern fare. It’s a melting pot of cultures, and that’s not a cooking metaphor.

Mediterranean Foods

30-12 34th St, Queens, NY 11103, USA

Mediterranean Foods
You’ll step into Greece almost literally by going into this Greek market for a sample of olives and feta cheeses. Opa!

The Corner Spot Cafe

22-80 Steinway St, Astoria, NY 11105, USA

The Corner Spot
There are so many things to choose from their menu (their coffee is among the best in all of NYC), but for us, their Spinach Pie is one of the best food items in all of New York City. This delicious, savory Greek pie with phyllo dough is spectacular.

20 minutes

Duzan

24-11 Steinway St, Queens, NY 11103, USA

Arayes is a grilled pita filled with ground meat, onions, spices and herbs yet to just put it that way doesn’t make it sound as breathtaking as it is. Arguably the scene stealer of this tour, this Middle Eastern dish is already part of your “five-star” review for this tour. You just don’t know it yet.

10 minutes

Al-Sham Sweets & Pastries

24-39 Steinway St, Queens, NY 11103, USA

Having a food experience you’ve never had before is rare. That’s where Al-Sham’s Knafeh comes in. Chances are having this traditional Arabic dessert, a spun pastry soaked in syrup and cheese, comes in. You’ve had nothing like this. Part dessert, part pizza — all everything.

15 minutes

Tipsy Scoop

38-15 23rd Ave, Astoria, NY 11105, USA

Spiked ice scream FTW? You know it. We end our tour with an All American classic with a twist. Get a shot of boozy ice cream with a side of, what else, baklava. Non-Alcoholic flavors available.
