Queens, NY
Travel Channel host, Andrew Zimmern writes, "If Queens, NY was its own city it could lay claim to being the greatest food city on Earth. As it stands now, it’s the largest of New York City’s 5 boroughs and has a population of almost 2.5 million residents, half of whom are foreign-born. There’s almost nowhere on Earth I would rather eat than Queens. Golden Mall in Flushing has some of the best Chinese dumpling and noodle vendors in the county, Milkflower has some stunning pizza, Rokhat Kosher Bakery serves Bukharan meat pies, and some of the most amazing specialty breads I’ve ever tried. Hit Kebabish for my favorite Pakistani dish, kata-kat, a savory, spicy sauté of minced offal, or go to Maima’s in Jamaica Queens for the crazy-hottest Liberian cuisine you will ever have."
