Visite des essentiels culinaires de Queens Corona
Description
Corona est l'épicentre culinaire de la communauté latino-américaine de New York, un endroit où l'on peut trouver des spécialités régionales allant de la Terre de Feu jusqu'à la frontière nord du Mexique avec les États-Unis. Lors de cette tournée des incontournables culinaires de Corona, nous parcourons les rues un samedi, lorsque les planchas et les grills de ce quartier déjà animé font des heures supplémentaires et que les vendeurs ambulants sortent en force. En partant de Corona Plaza, nous passerons par une boulangerie mexicaine familiale pour des pâtisseries sucrées pour le petit-déjeuner. De là, nous continuerons vers un endroit isolé où nous nous asseoirons avec les familles du quartier pour savourer un copieux brunch de chèvre rôtie à la mexicaine. Nous continuerons le long de Roosevelt Avenue, en passant par des vendeurs ambulants, une boulangerie argentine et en faisant un arrêt pour un « cholado ». Nous terminerons notre journée dans une petite bodega. Ce dernier arrêt nous laisse à la limite de Jackson Heights et d'Elmhurst, après avoir essayé ce qui fait du Queens une telle terre promise culinaire.

Itinéraire
Nous commencerons notre journée sur la Corona Plaza, réservée aux piétons, le lieu de rencontre animé du quartier, et nous passerons par une boulangerie mexicaine familiale où nous participerons au rituel du week-end consistant à choisir des pâtisseries et des petits pains sucrés pour le petit-déjeuner dans de grands plateaux disposés pour les clients. De là, nous continuerons vers un endroit isolé où nous nous asseoirons avec les familles du quartier pour savourer un copieux brunch de chèvre rôtie à la mexicaine.
Notre visite gastronomique dans le Queens se poursuit le long de Roosevelt Avenue, qui le week-end est bordée de vendeurs ambulants de toute l'Amérique latine. Pour satisfaire notre gourmandise, nous nous arrêterons dans une boulangerie du coin argentine pour déguster des friandises traditionnelles et nous arrêterons pour un « cholado », un dessert glacé hybride et une salade de fruits également connue sous le nom de cône de neige colombien. Nous terminerons notre journée dans une petite bodega ouverte par un homme de Veracruz, au Mexique, en entrant pour un cocktail de fête (crevettes). Ce dernier arrêt nous laisse aux abords de Jackson Heights et d'Elmhurst, deux quartiers d'immigrés qui recèlent leurs propres richesses culinaires (et qui seront explorées plus en détail dans le cadre de notre plus longue promenade dans le Queens), un rappel alléchant qu'au cours de cette demi-journée, nous avons n'a fait qu'effleurer la surface de ce qui fait du Queens une telle terre promise culinaire.

Another amazing Culinary Backstreets tour! Carly, our guide, was the perfect companion to introduce us to the amazing food of Queens. She not only shared so many great tastes with us, but gave us background about the neighborhood and the cultures of everything we were eating. Carly had a magic bag with her filled with everything possible to make our experience even better: scissors to evenly cut empanadas, mini tongs to keep us from making a mess, hand sanitizer so we were never worried about eating with our hands and napkins for any spill we might encounter. We loved learning about this part of New York with her and can't wait to go on another Culinary Backstreets tour!
