North York Eats Food Tour

Sample the flavours of the diverse food heritage of North York, now a culinary hub for East Asian communities and businesses. Through several delicious tastings and restaurant stops, learn how the food scene shapes identities and connects cultures.

All tastings will have vegetarian options but please be aware that we cannot guarantee accommodations for other dietary restrictions.

This tour will be led by Emerging Historian Jingshu Yao, a writer and a museum professional based in Toronto. Jingshu’s writing focuses on the intersectionality of identities. Her stories often centre around the themes of food, immigration, language, and queerness. Currently, she is working on a novel project about Asian queer immigrants in Toronto.
