Eating Queens: Around the World on the 7 Train

Informed by on-the-ground research, Herb Lester's handy, folded guides uncover what makes a city special - its most distinctive shops, restaurants, cafés, bars, museums and galleries, whether unmissable old favourites, exciting new arrivals or overlooked treasures. Each entry comes with its own brief description, and a basic map helps the reader get their bearings and make plans.

The New York borough of Queens is one of the most ethnically diverse corners of the world, with nearly fifty percent of its residents foreign born. It is a land of opportunity - not only for transplants and immigrants seeking a better life, but for all of us seeking a better dinner. Beginning at Manhattan's Times Square, the number 7 subway train heads crosstown on 42nd Street to Fifth Avenue and Grand Central Station, then zips under the East River to Queens. From Long Island City to Flushing Main Street you can eat your way around the world at least once. Languages are abundant and the foods are, too. The borough is large and the options are many, so let these selections, each a short walk from the station, be your guide on a culinary trip around the world on the 7 train.

Printed on a single sheet of 100% recycled paper, these light, portable guides are an ideal travelling companion.
