Мы начнем наш день в пешеходной Corona Plaza, оживленном месте встреч района, и зайдем в семейную мексиканскую пекарню, где присоединимся к ритуалу выходного дня, выбирая сладкие пирожные и булочки на завтрак с больших подносов, выставленных для клиентов. Оттуда мы продолжим путь в отдаленное место, где сядем с соседскими семьями, чтобы насладиться сытным мексиканским бранчем с жареной на вертеле козлятиной.

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.
