Here’s another chance to take part in some scheduled ethnojunkets that are just around the corner! Two to Brooklyn’s Little Odessa for some delicious Russian, Georgian, Azerbaijani, Uyghur, Turkish, Uzbek, and Ukrainian food, and one to Elmhurst for some amazing regional food from Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Nepal, Bangladesh, Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, Myanmar, the Philippines, and elsewhere in Southeast Asia and parts of China.

An ethnojunket is a food-focused walking tour through one of New York City’s many ethnic enclaves; my mission is to introduce you to some delicious, accessible, international treats (hence, “ethno-”) that you’ve never tasted but soon will never be able to live without (hence, “-junkie”). My most popular tours are described on the Ethnojunkets page but there are always new ones in the works.

A scheduled ethnojunket is one which is about to happen soon. Generally, I try to keep the group to a maximum of six people or so; it’s a comfortable size: larger groups tend to get impersonal and less participatory. But occasionally, only one or two people have signed up for an ethnojunket – and when it comes to food tastings, the more participants, the greater the opportunity to taste more dishes! So when that happens, I announce it in the Now Boarding section of the Ethnojunkets page. Subscribers always get email notifications about these.

And this is one – actually, three – of those occasions! There are still some openings available for our Exploring Eastern European Food in Little Odessa ethnojunket on May 24th and 25th and for our Ethnic Eats in Elmhurst ethnojunket on May 27 (all launch at 1pm) so here’s your chance to join in the fun! Simply send me a note below and tell me which ethnojunket you’re interested in and I’ll email you with details.
