Queens Corona’s Culinary Essentials Tour

Огляд
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.

We went on the Queens Corona tour and had a fantastic time! Our guide, Sierra, did an exceptional job of, not just introducing us to new foods and places, but being prepared to produce everything we could possibly need for the tour from the "magic pack"! Culinary backstreets tours get you off the beaten path and away from the tourist spots to introduce you to the people and places that really make up the city you are visiting. We ate some truly amazing food, but it was so much more than that. Sierra was a wealth of information and provided background on the history, politics and people that connect the food to the larger culture. This was our second CB tour and we will definitely be back for more!

Culinary Backstreet does it again! This is my 4th tour with this company and they never disappoint. Sierra was an excellent guide! I appreciate the attention to local, family owned business and the explanations of how the food plays a role in their culture. Queens is such a an incredible place to eat and experience NYC! 10/10 would do again!

We loved everything about this tour: Sierra, our guide, the variety of amazing food from all over Latin America including the best tacos ever, an area of NY we had never visited- and that includes our friend who has been living in NY for 7 years.
