It sure feels like summer and so it is time to venture out and do fun things.

As the flowers start to bloom, so do vegetables in the markets.

What I am proposing is a walking tour of Jackson Heights in Queens, NY.

It is always loads of fun with lots of eating, shopping and colorful scenes.

We meet at a preassigned spot and start with tea and an Indian breakfast.

Next we stroll into a Sari store, then a jewelry store, followed by an Indian grocery store.

The smells of spices will pull you in – I will point out all the spices and clue you into just a few that you’ll need to start cooking legitimate Indian food.  Next, I will show you all the lentils and the dry beans.  And the Basmati rice – more rice at amazing prices than you have probably ever seen. We’ll walk by the frozen foods section which is full of convenience yet delicious items.

 

There are of course exotic vegetables you may have never seen before or some that you were afraid to buy because you had no idea how to cook with them.

You will also see the familiar but at amazingly low prices.

We cover anything and everything in the store – ask me anything.

You can even buy pots and pans and some cool lunch boxes.

By now you will surely be hungry.  We then head off for lunch to enjoy delicious food and discuss all that we have seen.

After lunch the tour is over and you are free to explore and shop on your own.

 

How fun does that sound?

All this can happen for only $ 65 a person.  Groups can be as small as four and can go up to a couple dozen.

If you are able to gather 10 people – the tour is free for you.

Look forward to seeing you in Jackson Heights!
