Glad you found me! I'm Myra Alperson, founder of NoshNews and NoshWalks.

NoshNews is a newsletter, available in print and PDF format, that profiles the best, most interesting and most fun markets, bakeries and eateries in ethnic neighborhoods in New York City.

Each issue also features history, cultural highlights, detailed maps, recipes and walking tours. Tips on parks and picnic spots, plus directions by mass transit and car, are also included. A back page section, NoshNotes, describes new discoveries by readers (and me), along with NoshNews updates. NoshNews appears three or four times a year. You can also purchase my book. Nosh New York: The Food Lover’s Guide to New York City’s Most Delicious Neighborhoods, published by St. Martin’s Press!

NoshNews made its debut in February 1999 by bringing readers to Sunnyside, Queens, a neighborhood where Asian, East European, Irish, Latin American and Middle Eastern places operate side-by-side. I’ve published 19 issues since then, listed below. You can get details on their content by clicking Back Issues.
