Get your Greek on at Zorba‘s In AStoria Queens . Picturesque ride along the waterfront of Queens with beautiful views of Manhattan before we make our way to the best Greek food in Queens !

A 26-mile moderate paced ride to savor the food of Yunnan province.

We‘re going to head to Sunset Park to enjoy the food of Yun Nan Flavour Garden on this 26-mile ride.

Yun Nan Flavour Garden features rice noodles (in soup or separately), seaweed salad, cold noodles with chicken, and dumplings, among other delicious dishes. Their specialty dish is "Crossing the Bridge" noodles. While we have many fine bridges here in the five boroughs, in this case the name refers to a bridge in Yunnan province in southwestern China. And of course, there‘s a story behind that name, which you‘ll learn about on the ride. Since this ride is entirely in Kings County, a/k/a Brooklyn, we won‘t be crossing any famous suspension bridges, but may be crossing a couple little bridges.

Here are some reviews, if you want to read more. Though the reviews are several years old, recent visits confirm that the food is still excellent.

We’ll be fighting off any lingering winter blues with a ride through Westchester. We will start at the Larchmont train station before meandering on mostly low-traffic roads north to the Westchester Airport, where we can pretend we are going somewhere warmer. From the airport, we will be looping back south past Purchase Community College. Near mile 24, we will find our usual pizza stop for lunch. After lunch, we will find our way back to the Larchmont train station
