2. Queens is hot
In 2015, Lonely Planet, the world’s leading travel guide book publisher, named Queens the #1 destination in the USA touting its diversity and incredible food scene—it’s no surprise to us, because we been at it for years! Let us show you what the rest is just starting to discover.

4. OUR FOOD IS BETTER
Queens’ culinary scene is unlike anything else you’ll find in NYC—it’s unique, it’s authentic, it’s delicious! We scoured the borough to find the best “mom and pop” restaurants, one of-a kind eateries, and specialty shops that would fulfill your deepest “foodie” craving.
