Famous for their delicious variety of empanadas, this place is a must visit if you’re in the mood for a bite-sized treat.
This cafe is very small so don’t count on dining in (unless you’re lucky!). Instead, order ahead for pick-up (bring cash only!), and take a walk to Flushing Meadow Corona Park just steps away! Or before or after a Mets game located nearby as well!
You can top this tour off by ending at Lemon Ice King of Corona for an Italian icee dessert.
