About This Experience

My name is Marcus and I have been eating street food in New York my whole life. I take small groups to the carts, markets and counter spots that New Yorkers actually use — the halal cart on 53rd that locals queue at, the Flushing dim sum basement that no guidebook lists, the elote cart in Sunset Park that operates from a modified bicycle. We cover at least five boroughs-worth of flavour in three hours, moving by subway between stops. Nothing on this tour is within a mile of Times Square. All food included. I talk the whole time and I have a lot to say.

Marcus ✓ Verified

Bronx-born, been eating my way through New York for 38 years. I know which halal cart on 53rd has the line for a reason, which dim sum spot in Flushing the tourist buses never find, and which corner in Sunset Park sells the best elote at 7pm. I have lived in four boroughs and eaten in all five. New York's street food is world-class and almost nobody eats it properly.
