<em>scheduled<\/em> ethnojunket to Bay Ridge for some amazing regional food from the Middle East \u2013 Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and Yemen, plus Morocco and Greece!<\/p>\n<p>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 (hence, \u201cethno-\u201d) that you\u2019ve never tasted but soon will never be able to live without (hence, \u201c-junkie\u201d). My most popular tours are described on the <a href=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/?page_id=1227\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ethnojunkets<\/a> page but there are always new ones in the works.<\/p>\n<p>A <em>scheduled <\/em>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\u2019s 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 \u2013 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/?page_id=1227#nowboarding\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cNow Boarding\u201d<\/a> section of the Ethnojunkets page. Subscribers always get email notifications about these. <\/p>\n<p>And this is one of those occasions! There are still some openings available for our <em>Flavors of Little Levant<\/em> ethnojunket on Wednesday, August 12, so here\u2019s your chance to join in the fun! Click <a href=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/?p=19275\">here <\/a>to sign up!<\/p>\n<p><!-- For more information and to sign up, send me a note in the \u201cLeave a Reply\u201d section at the bottom of this page or write to me directly at rich[at]ethnojunkie[dot]com and I\u2019ll email you with details.\n\nIf that date doesn\u2019t work for you, it\u2019s not a problem; you never have to wait for a scheduled ethnojunket!  We can almost always set one up for any day you\u2019d like to go on an eating adventure. 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 tour and which ethnojunket you\u2019re interested in \u2013 I\u2019ll bet we can find a mutually convenient time!\n\nI hope you\u2019ll sign up and join us on August 12 for our <a href=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/?page_id=1227#bay_ridge\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Flavors of Little Levant<\/a> ethnojunket.
