New York Neighborhoods

A Food Lover's Walking, Eating, and Shopping Guide to Ethnic Enclaves in New York's Boroughs

By: Eleanor Davidson Berman

If ordering chicken chow mein from the corner Chinese takeout is not your idea of an adventurous ethnic dining experience, why not go the source? Hop on the subway or catch a cab to any of New York's twenty incredible ethnic neighborhoods and then let Eleanor Berman lead the way. An award-winning travel writer and longtime New Yorker, Berman takes you on safe and fun walking tours through the world of food and culture that awaits in New York City's boroughs. You'll sample authentic Korean and Senegalese dishes plus 15 other ethnic cuisines; navigate like a native through Asian markets and Mediterranean groceries; learn the language of dim sum; shop in exotic emporiums; and visit intriguing historical sites. From Little Italy to Little Odessa, find these and other hidden treasures: Astoria, the world's largest Greek enclave outside Greece, where you can stock up on delicious cheeses, sample charcoal-grilled seafood, and eat baklava to die for; and a corner of the East Village, where there's a tiny shop filled with crafts from the Ukraine and a delightful little Ukrainian museum; Arthur Avenue, where you'll find heavenly handmade pasta and the world famous Bronx Zoo; Greenpoint in Brooklyn, where you'll find borscht, pirogies, and other Polish pleasures. Berman's helpful descriptions of the various cuisine, tips on what to order, specific directions and fantastic maps are other handy features of this unique guide.
