5 of the Best Street Food in Queens, New York

If you’re going to take a bite out of the Big Apple, you’d better start in Queens. With over 150 countries represented and 138 languages spoken, the borough is the most ethnically diverse urban area in the entire world—and arguably the most delicious. From brilliantly hued rice dumplings in Flushing to a three-pound torta in Corona, we sure hope you’re hungry for this.

Nepalese momo has buffalo meat (cow= sacred) and south Asian spices. The last one looks like Tibetan momos and also the guy is speaking Tibetan.

This is so beautiful and I love the diversity, everything looks so good😍 I hope you can include a south Asian one from Jackson heights as well, like fuchkas/pani puri!! Also I love that you let them speak in the language they feel most comfortable in and that you showed the whole process of how they make it❤️

Este vídeo trae felicidad a mi corazón, me alegra ver a mis paisanos mexicanos representar a sus orígenes incluso estando tan lejos de su tierra natal. Estoy orgullosa de ustedes por no olvidar sus raíces, les deseo éxito!!

Not only is my home borough filled with great diversity, it also has the highest library circulation in the country! Take that, Manhattan! Note: not hating on any libraries, I had cards for 2 systems, Queens and the NYPL. Good times.

To eat all the restaurants in NYC, it takes 12 years for Manhattan, 5.5 years for Brooklyn, half a year for Staten Island, and 3.5 years for Queens.

Greetings from Cancún, México. Qué orgullo ver una playera de los Pumas.

[musically_insane]

I really hope the shrimp cocktail guy gets to open his own space soon :)

[Bangtanever]

Queens is my favorite borough for this reason. 😊💜

I live in Manhattan and can say for facts Queens is the best place to eat in not only NYC but in the world.
