Ob ich Reisende durch die Geheimnisse Manhattans führe oder Ihnen die Streetfood-Legenden von Jackson Heights vorstelle, meine Mission ist dieselbe: Kultur feiern, Verbindungen schaffen und Menschen das Gefühl geben, gesehen zu werden. Gäste sagen, ich „erwecke das Viertel zum Leben“ mit Geschichten, Aromen und Überraschungen – von der Whispering Wall am Grand Central bis zu Tacos unter der U-Bahn-Station 7. Mit Wurzeln in internationalen und amerikanischen Traditionen lebe ich für die Momente, in denen Essen, Musik und Erinnerungen aufeinandertreffen. Folgen Sie mir für Einblicke hinter die Kulissen, spontane Serenaden und ein paar kleine Weisheiten unterwegs.
This small-group tour is a fantastic way to experience a very different part of New York that very few tourists get to see. Steve is a wonderfully attentive and entertaining guide that has lived for a long time in the community and seems to be known and liked by everybody. We started in the Mexican part of town, proceeding through the Colombian and then South Asian districts. Steve's food recommendations were superb. A truly unique experience, would highly recommend!!
Steve was absolutely brilliant. I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect but wanted to experience NY beyond Manhattan and this tour completely delivered. Steve is a fountain of knowledge and took me through the history of the island, the 5 boroughs and the expansion of the subway which ultimately lead to the creation of areas like Jackson heights. It was a fascinating story which touched on everything from the abolishment of slavery, segregation and white flight, to the original Dutch families who monopolised ferry routes and railroads, then architectural styles and home ownership structures, immigration, food, music (and karaoke!), before some of the more recent issues facing queens. We tried some of the best Mexican food I have ever eaten - especially the aquachilles at Mariscos el Submarino (a sort of Mexican ceviche)! Beyond this Steve is just a great guy and I very much enjoyed hanging out in his local haunts in Queens and learning about his life. Thanks Steve!!
Passionate guide with lots of helpful information to share. Very personable and friendly. Can tell he loves his job and city! Highly recommend Steve to anyone wanting a food-focussed tour in addition history and culture.
