Jackson Heights is one of the most underrated foodie neighborhoods in NYC. There is no shortage of must-visit restaurants to check out in the area. That said, this weekend there will be a food crawl of “over 20 restaurants selling the Himalayan dumpling known as the momo, promoting local entrepreneurship, community, and culture” in Jackson Heights.

The Momo Crawl is in its 6th year. To attend you’ll need to purchase the Momo Crawl Passport. At only $10 this ticket is a steal, and the money will go to benefit the Students for a Free Tibet. Attendees who purchase the passport will be picked up by a vintage trolley at Diversity Plaza and guided to each of the dumpling locations.
