Description
Welcome to the 'Taste of Queens' tour, an immersive exploration of Flushing, Jackson Heights, and Forest Hills. While not a food tour, this experience serves as an introduction to the often overlooked gems of Queens, a destination often overshadowed by the glitz of Manhattan but brimming with its own rich history and cultural diversity. Our journey begins in Flushing, where Dutch settlers first established a presence in the 17th century. Explore its streets and discover traces of its colonial past, including the influence of Quaker settlers seeking refuge from religious persecution. From there, we'll delve into Jackson Heights, once a bastion of affluence, now transformed into a vibrant Latin American neighborhood shaped by waves of immigration and cultural exchange. Finally, we'll visit Forest Hills, renowned as the first garden community in the United States and the birthplace of the US Open tennis tournament. Join us on the 'Taste of Queens' tour as we uncover the hidden treasures and unique stories of these diverse neighborhoods. Queens may be often overlooked, but its history, culture, and charm are not to be missed by any traveler to New York City.Includes
