Experience Details

Real foodies know that you have to leave Manhattan to find some of the best bites in New York. The Corona neighborhood of Queens is famous for its Latin American cuisine, and this tour lets you try specialties from street vendors and family-run establishments. Sample a wide range of dishes that can include Argentinean pastries, Mexican pit-roasted goat, and more. This is a less mainstream way to experience the city's food scene.

What You’ll Experience

1

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.
2 hoursAdmission Ticket Free

Jackson Heights

The 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.
