Queens Corona’s Culinary Essentials Tour

Przegląd
Corona is the culinary epicenter of New York’s Latin American community, a place where you can find regional specialties ranging all the way from the Tierra del Fuego up to Mexico’s northern border with the United States. On this tour of Corona’s culinary essentials, we hit the streets on a Saturday, when the griddles and grills in this already lively neighborhood are working overtime and the street vendors come out in full force.
Starting at Corona Plaza, we will drop by a family-run Mexican bakery for sweet breakfast pastries. From there, we’ll continue to an out-of-the-way spot where we’ll sit down with neighborhood families to enjoy a hearty Mexican-style brunch of pit-roasted goat.
We will continue along Roosevelt Avenue, stopping by street vendors, an Argentinean bakery and make a stop for a “cholado". We’ll end our day at a small bodega. This last stop leaves us at the edge of Jackson Heights and Elmhurst, having tried what makes Queens such a culinary Promised Land.

Corona
We’ll start our day in pedestrian-only Corona Plaza, the neighborhood’s bustling meeting place, and drop by a family-run Mexican bakery where we’ll join the weekend ritual of picking out sweet breakfast pastries and rolls from large trays set out for the customers. From there, we’ll continue to an out-of-the-way spot where we’ll sit down with neighborhood families to enjoy a hearty Mexican-style brunch of pit-roasted goat.

Jackson Heights
Our food tour in Queens continues along Roosevelt Avenue, which on the weekends is lined with street vendors from throughout Latin America. To satisfy our sweet tooth, we’ll drop into an Argentinean corner bakery for some traditional treats and make a stop for a “cholado,” a hybrid frozen dessert and fruit salad also known as the Colombian Snow Cone. We’ll end our day at a small bodega opened by a man from Veracruz, Mexico, going inside for a celebratory (shrimp) cocktail. This last stop leaves us at the edge of Jackson Heights and Elmhurst, two immigrant neighborhoods that hold their own culinary riches (and which are further explored as part of our longer Queens walk), a tantalizing reminder that during this half-day we’ve only scratched the surface of what makes Queens such a culinary Promised Land.

I live in NY for more than 20 years & this was the first time I went to Corona. What an amazing culinary experience!! Sierra, our guide, is very knowledgeable and ordered the best samplers you can think of. Please have more areas to cover in different parts of NY. This is a great way to experience the city, even for locals!!

Sierra was so warm and welcoming, in addition to being deeply knowledgeable! I have done a bunch of food tours and they were the best guide I've had. It made such a difference having a guide who's a chef. Really looking forward to booking more tours.

My friend and I did the Culinary Delights tour of Corona and Jackson Heights (or more accurately the Americas and South Asia). In a word, fabulous. Our guide Sierra trained as a chef, has cooked in numerous restaurants and private chef gigs, and is extraordinarily knowledgeable about food migration, cultural history of foods, and food science. She brought all that know-how to bear on our 6.5 hour trek through two sub-neighborhoods of Queens. We were interested in learning about some new parts of New York City, and the tour did that, tracing the cultural, political and social evolution of these neighborhoods, as reflected in the foods. Where to start? Hand made tortillas stuffed with carnitas or squash blossom flowers; "Quaker"- an ecuadorian drink of passion fruit, quaker oats, sugar and water-great: empanadas and home made sausage from an Argentinian butcher; "cevichochos"-stew served on the front porch of a house; amazing onigirazu--Japanese rice ball sandwiches; beef dumplings-"momos"- from Bangladesh... Not my usual snack foods I've also done their tour in Istanbul and it was terrific. But this was just amazing.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback! Each of our culinary walks is the outcome of considerable research. We work with academics in the field and our own team of experienced professionals – both guides and local journalists. We are proud to know that the money spent during the culinary walk goes to support businesses that we believe in, helping to preserve the social and cultural fabric of the cities we love so dearly. Most importantly, of course, we take pride in working with people who are very knowledgeable about and extremely fond of the cities they live in. You can check out your Culinary Backstreets Passport on our website to see the stamps you have collected. We hope to see you again soon in one of our cities.
