Snacking in Flushing – The Best of the Best!<\/em><\/p>\n

I resumed Exploring Eastern European Food in Little Odessa<\/em> about a month ago and Ethnic Eats in Elmhurst<\/em> more recently \u2013 now Flushing is stepping up to the plate! (And Bay Ridge is just around the corner.)<\/p>\n

Ethnojunkets FAQ:<\/h4>\n

 
\nQ: What\u2019s an ethnojunket anyway?
\nA: An ethnojunket is a food-focused walking tour through one of New York City\u2019s many ethnic enclaves; my mission is to introduce you to some delicious, accessible, international treats that you\u2019ve never tasted but soon will never be able to live without.<\/p>\n

Q: Which neighborhoods do you cover?
\nA: My most popular tours are described on the ethnojunkets<\/a> page but there are always new ones in the works. For the time being, I’m only scheduling Little Odessa, Elmhurst, and Flushing.<\/p>\n

Q: When is your next ethnojunket to [fill in the blank: Flushing, Elmhurst, Little Odessa, Little Levant, etc.]?<\/em>
\nA: Any day you\u2019d like to go! <\/strong>Simply send me a note in the \u201cLeave a Reply\u201d section below or write to me directly at rich[at]ethnojunkie[dot]com and tell me when you\u2019d like to experience a food adventure and which ethnojunket you\u2019re interested in \u2013 I\u2019ll bet we can find a mutually convenient day! (Pro Tip: Check the weather in advance for the day you’re interested in to facilitate making your choice; we spend a lot of time outdoors!)<\/p>\n

Q: I\u2019ve seen some tours that are scheduled in advance for particular dates. Do you do that?
\nA: Yes, in a way. When someone books a tour (unless it\u2019s a private tour) it\u2019s always fun to add a few more adventurous eaters to the group \u2013 not to mention the fact that we get the opportunity to taste more dishes when we have more people (although I do like to keep the group size small). You can see if there are any openings available in the \u201cNow Boarding\u201d<\/a> section of the ethnojunkets page. Subscribers always get email notifications about these.<\/p>\n

Q: What will we be eating in Flushing?
\nA: On this ethnojunket, we\u2019ll choose from a seemingly endless collection of authentic regional delights from all over China: Heilongjiang, Shandong, Henan, Shanghai, Shaanxi, Guangzhou, Hubei, the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, and Japan and Taiwan as well. And as if that weren\u2019t enough, we\u2019ll finish with some amazingly rich Chinese influenced American ice cream! If you\u2019re into cooking, we can also check out JMart, a sprawling Asian supermarket. All this within four blocks!<\/p>\n

Here are just a few<\/em> of the delicacies we usually enjoy on this ethnojunket. (Not that I’m trying to tempt you to sign up! \ud83d\ude09)<\/p>\n
