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 have done Culinary Backstreets food tours before which were exceptional, and this one did not disappoint! Our guide was a Queens local originally from Colombia with his own rich food heritage and a vast knowledge of the many food cultures that thrive in this fascinating part of New York. We ate from a number of local restaurants and food stalls, and we left feeling so full that we did not have to eat again for the rest of the day! Not only was the food fantastic but Esneider was an engaging person who was also very well organized and prepared for our tour. If you only have a few hours and would like to dip into the many and varied cuisines available in Queens, I would highly recommend this tour.

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 so knowledgeable about and extremely fond of their 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 in one of our cities.
