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.

Our guide Esneider was wonderful! He provided a lot of background on the neighborhood as we explored a multitude of cultures. It was like traveling the world without a passport. We love Culinary Backstreets!

This was such an amazing way to see Queens! I'm a native New Yorker (raised in Manhattan, currently living in Brooklyn) and I would highly recommend this to anyone, local or visiting. Only note is try to pace yourself w/ the food, otherwise you will get SO full by the end you'll feel like you're going to burst.
