As we introduce each other and get a run down of the tour, we will eat Pandebono straight from the local bakery. It is warm, cheesy, and slightly chewy. The outside is lightly crispy while the inside melts in your mouth. It's a comforting bite that locals crave every day. It is a warm, chewy Colombian cheese bread made from yucca flour and queso fresco. It’s naturally gluten-free and has a slightly crispy outside with a soft, cheesy center. Although we will not visit the bakery This is a beloved comfort snack in Colombian households!
-
Steaming, hand-twisted Georgian dumplings filled with savory meat and rich broth. You’ll learn the traditional way to eat one without spilling a drop. Juicy and flavorful, these dumplings are a local favorite among Astoria’s Georgian community and a must-try for first-time visitors.
-
A Moroccan delicacy: flaky, golden pastry filled with spiced chicken, caramelized onions, and toasted almonds, dusted with a hint of cinnamon sugar. Sweet, savory, crunchy, and soft all at once, this dish surprises the taste buds and showcases Morocco’s rich culinary traditions.
-
Step inside one of Astoria’s iconic Mediterranean markets filled with Greek, Turkish, and Middle Eastern ingredients. Discover olives, cheeses, fresh pita, spices, and local pastries. I’ll guide you through the aisles like a local, pointing out must-try snacks and items that neighborhood families use every day.
-
Explore a small Japanese grocery that feels like stepping into Tokyo. Find unique snacks, onigiri, mochi, instant ramen flavors you won’t find anywhere else, and essential ingredients from Japanese kitchens. I’ll highlight popular items and share how locals use them in everyday meals.
-
A true neighborhood staple! It’s known for affordable produce, fresh juices, flowers, and tons of unique drinks and snacks. We stop here to grab local made New York apple juice. This apple juice is sourced from a New York orchard and tastes like fresh cider. It’s crisp, refreshing, and not overly sweet!
-
This stop blends Korean flavors with a classic New York bagel. Savory fillings like bulgogi, kimchi cream cheese, and spicy Korean sauces paired with the chewiness of an NYC style everything bagel. It’s fun, unexpected, and represents Astoria’s multicultural roots!
-
Juicy, smoky grilled meat marinated in traditional Greek herbs and cooked over charcoal. One bite and you’ll understand why Astoria is known for its authentic Greek cuisine. Perfectly tender, flavorful, and straight from the neighborhood grill.
-
We finish on a sweet note with a classic Italian cannoli: a crisp pastry shell filled with creamy, lightly sweetened ricotta and dusted with powdered sugar. Freshly made and delightfully indulgent, it’s the perfect finale to a multicultural culinary adventure.
