Il programma nel dettaglio

For an off-the-beaten-path experience in New York, an exploration of the exciting and diverse cultural melting-pot that is Queens and its world-class arts scene must not be missed. Visitors wanting to see something more than the typical tourist sights and really see, smell and feel New York will not be disappointed by this walking tour of the Queens borough.

Be surprised, from the juxtaposition of Hong-Kong styles dumplings sold next to historic English churches or the appearance of avant-garde art in a former public school. Queens is inspiring and dynamic and an unforgettable thrill to visit.

Climb aboard the “international express” otherwise known as subway #7 from which you will explore the multicultural neighbourhoods that make this the most ethnically diverse urban area in the world. The population of Queens represents over 100 different nations there are over 138 different languages spoken in the borough.

Watch the locals play bocce in William F. Moore Park, affectionately known as ‘Spaghetti Park’. Most of the regulars have Italian roots and proudly gather in this public place to chat and roll the little wooden balls across the sand and gravel court that forms the centrepiece of the park.

Also on the agenda is a visit to the heart of a South-Asian neighbourhood known as Little India. Indians, Bangladeshis, and Pakistanis call this area home, and also come here to shop and eat. It’s a great place to people watch and take it all in.
