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.

Fantastic food with great commentary, as we have come to expect from Culinary Backstreets. We have done walks with them in Istanbul and Tokyo and couldn't wait to try out our own backyard. Schneider was a fantastic guide. Sign up as soon as you can!!

We highly recommend this food tour, during which we traversed not just three neighborhoods in Queens but huge parts of the world. We were full of delicious food by the end, but perhaps even more importantly, we were incredibly impressed by the cultural and culinary knowledge of our tour guide Esneider. Recommended with great enthusiasm!

It was excellent. A great way to find places to eat and understand the different cultures. A non-touristy way to see New York. The guide speaks many languages to talk to many of the vendors in their native tongue.
