The United Kitchens in the Borough of Global Eats with Culinary Backstreets in New York City booking from $150.00

The United Kitchens in the Borough of Global Eats with Culinary Backstreets

Overview

We’ll start our day off in bustling Corona Plaza, in the shadow of the elevated tracks of the 7 train, for a visit to a family-run Mexican bakery and, not far away, a taste of handmade tortillas and, on the weekends, pit-roasted goat. Also near the plaza, we’ll stop into a small bakery and café, owned by an immigrant who got his start toiling in the back kitchens of Manhattan restaurants, for a traditional cemita, the behemoth sandwich that’s the pride and joy of Puebla, Mexico. From there our walk will continue along Roosevelt Avenue, the area’s main artery and Queens’s own version of the Pan-American Highway, ducking into markets and stopping by vendors representing Mexico, Ecuador and Argentina. On a side street, we’ll drop by a Colombian “fast food” joint for that country’s almost surreal take on the New York hot dog, with topping options that include cheese, ham, bacon, eggs, pineapple and crushed potato chips. We’ll end our Queens food tour at a neighborhood café.

The tour was soooo interesting. It was like having a trip around the world. Esneider was fantastic, very informative. He kept the level of attention always high and the time flew by so fast. It was one of the best experiences we had in New York and very inspiring for me.

This was one of the best food tours I have been on. Sierra was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the area. Queen's is not somewhere where many tourists go, but they really should. Sierra herself is a chef and her knowledge and passion about world food is second to none. The tour is long but Sierra is such good company and such good fun that time flies. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

An excellent, comprehensive tour with a great variety of food, particularly on the first part of the tour, through Latino neighborhoods. Esneider was an excellent, highly knowledgable guide. However, the tour is longer than advertised—about six hours—and my energy flagged toward the end. It’s definitely worth it for the first 3-4 hours, though.
