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 beef, pork 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.

Juicy, smoky grilled pork or chicken 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.
