I reviewed tours online on the train and came across “streetwise” , who appealed to me right away. I texted Dan whether he could accommodate us and within minutes we had a confirmation and meeting point. Dan showed up early and we joined a small group to discover lower Manhattan’s culture and its influence by the many ethnic groups who... More

Andrew expertly guided us to tasty street food stops on Roosevelt Ave in Queens, aka Jackson Heights and shared the personal stories behind the people making savory and sweet delights throughout the area. I would highly recommend Streetwise...for their insightful and local perspectives and aptness for tailoring any tour to your needs. It's a major perk to me when you... More

It's not easy to find delicious ethnic cuisine in New York. You'd think it would be because there is hardly a shortage of taco trucks, Latin American bakeries, and falafel stands scattered throughout the city in nearly every neighborhood in every borough. HOWEVER, if you've ever wanted to learn about the food that you are eating and its cultural history... More

My sister and I took this tour in March during a very rushed two-day visit to New York. Over the last 15 years I've been traveling to NYC annually to visit family and this is the first time that I feel like I actually saw the city - thanks to this 2 hour tour! I love learning about the history... More

I went on an ethnic street-food tour of Jackson Heights with a group of chefs in town for a culinary conference. Our tour guide, Andrew, was very knowledgeable about the food, the vendors personal stories, and the history of the neighborhood. Everything was delicious, and the tour was very organized. I will definitely recommend this company! More

Having lived in Queens for quite a few years now, my boyfriend and I decided to go on Streetwise's food tour to see what we've been missing... and apparently we've been missing a WHOLE lot! Our tour guide, Dan, was very well informed AND entertaining. He's so freaking funny! My boyfriend isn't usually "adventurous" when it comes to food, but... More

I took the Astoria Food Tour, and I'm so glad that I did. I've lived in Astoria, and had no idea how much I didn't know. The guide was incredibly knowledgable about the food and the neighborhood, and was funny on top of it all. Fantastic tour. I would do any of the tours they offer. More

I thought I knew Astoria... and then I took the tour. We visited the King of Falafel, walked through the avenues of the neighborhood while learning the local history, sampled Greek yogurt (made in the shop) and had lunch at a Spanish social club. I feel like we traveled the world in a day. I'm so grateful to have learned... More

Dan took us on a food tour of Astoria. I live in New York, but haven't spent much time in Astoria and wouldn't have even known where to begin if I had gone on my own. The tour really managed to capture the unique nature of the neighborhood, as he brought us to places that felt truly authentic. He selected... More
