If you're looking for something different to do thos Spring then think about  the Corona Plaza Market in Queens new York. This is the place to go for a taste of the familiar and exotic It's worth the car bus or subway trip out.

Rrgular contributor Priya Krishna wrote about it in today's New York Times Food section. It'sworth the trip out You can try prok skin crackles over warmed potatoes or a tprtilla filled with sliced beef and onions.Blame the pandemic on this area. Many vendors lost their jobs and couldn't go back to their old jobs. They created new food and drink oriented ones.

It paid off. This area is popular with all sorts fo people, from hipsters looking for a new flavor to Latinos searching for a taste of home.The in gredients are fresh and seasonal. Freoilan and ZChristina Garcia not only make fresh tacos and totillas but also agua fressca, the refreshing water based drink. They use market boiught cucumbers and lime for it. Their corn flour based drinks have fresh peanuts and walnuts. Not allof it its rosy however. There have been raids where ,local cops take their gear and they have to retrieve it. This can be costly.
