Highlights

Step into Alison's home in Astoria, Queens, for an intimate introduction to regional Chinese home cooking rarely found in restaurants. Inspired by her upbringing in southwest China, Alison shares family recipes, cultural traditions, and practical cooking techniques while guiding you through a private, hands-on cooking experience. Depending on the season, you may even harvest fresh herbs from her garden before enjoying your meal indoors or beneath a mulberry tree in the backyard.

About New York City

New York City packs skyscrapers, famous museums, Broadway theatres and dozens of distinct neighbourhoods into five boroughs that hum day and night.

Manhattan is the classic first stop. Times Square glows above the theatre district, Central Park stretches for blocks between the Upper East and Upper West Sides, and the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center define the midtown skyline. Downtown, the 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge sit close together, and boats run out past the Statue of Liberty to Ellis Island.

Top-ranked sights in New York City: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
