Queens Corona’s Culinary Essentials Tour

Преглед
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.

This tour was an unexpected journey around the Americas and different parts of the world. Such fun learning about the different diasporas and experiencing their food. Esnider knows so much and was really good at gauging our hunger levels 😀 always a great experience with Culinary Backstreet Tours.

We experienced and learned about more cuisines from the global south than I ever expected when my friend and I signed up for the Queens Corona tour during our weekend in NY. Our guide, Schneider, was the icing on the cake, giving us important perspective and insight into the neighborhoods we visited, with lots of humour thrown in. The group size was also perfect!

I'd never been to Corona before, so this was a revelation. The trip was "only" five hours but the variety of cuisines we sampled was enough for five DAYS! Sierra is a superb guide: He personally knows all the bakeries, restaurants, pushcarts and vendors. As a former chef, he explained the characteristics of each different cuisine and culture. And he always made sure we had plenty of water and napkins! I'm looking forward to my next adventure with Culinary Backstreets!
