Explore the most exciting street scene in the city
Do you want to go beyond the tourist safety zone to the most memorable eating experience in New York City? Come on the Midnight Crawl.
Trek down Roosevelt Avenue from Jackson Heights to Corona after the moon comes up, and see the street scene will undergo a dramatic transformation. The avenue comes ALIVE with activity and the flavors emerge as the most unapologetic in NYC. These Ecuadoran, Colombian, Dominican, and Mexican food stops aren't in Frommer's or Zagats, they're not in tourism guides, and you won't even find them on Chowhound, Yelp, or Tripadvisor.
Only on the Midnight Crawl will you experience the Roosevelt Avenue street food scene in its full glory.
For: Food, culture, and urban explorers. Those who want some edge with their eating experiences. Let me know your tastes and interests, and we'll make a great tour specifically for you! I love challenges.
Cost Includes:
Tons of food and drink, as well as any fines or other financial burdens that may occur.
Tours generally end between midnight and 1am. If you'd like to book with a larger group of people, please contact me directly.
Reviews
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.
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!
