Winter 2019: The Veggie Issue, No. 19
Edible Queens's publisher, Claudia Sanchez, writes the Spring 2020, The Veggie Issue, No. 19 Editor's Letter.
Last night for dinner, I prepared for myself a roasted acorn squash, garnished with slivers of bitter greens, toasted hazelnuts and plumped currants, served alongside a simple green salad and a bowl of barley vegetable soup. I am not a vegetarian, but I am concerned about our environment, my health and trying to contribute positively to the world around me. And so, welcome to this special Vegetables issue of Edible Queens.

I landed in Queens thanks to an unexpected and lucky twist of fate. When I moved to New York for college, I bounced around Brooklyn for a while and discovered that despite how wonderful the city is, it’s not an easy place to live. While searching for yet another apartment, I stumbled upon Astoria and had a gut feeling I had found home.
Woodhaven's Historic Neir's Tavern is 190 Years Old This Year
In 1829, Queens was mostly farmland, woods, swamp and empty space. But it was also home to a raucous racetrack that regularly drew tens of thousands of spectators—some of the largest crowds in the country. In the years before the Civil War, horses from the north and south would face off at Union Course, a mile-long oval track laid out across what is now Woodhaven.
You Garden Xiao Long Bao: Peking duck of a different feather
Try Peking duck any day of the week at You Garden Xiao Long Bao in Bayside, Queens.
To make Peking duck, Alan Gao’s kitchen staff puffs up air between the duck’s skin and flesh, allowing the exposed fat to render down and the skin to crisp up. Crispy skin is the requisite, labor-intensive hallmark of Peking duck. They then stuff the inner cavity with 12 ingredients, including bay leaf, cardamom, cinnamon sticks and a special salt mix heated in a wok.

Your Next Great Meal Might Be at the Airport
How airports like LaGuardia and JFK are reinventing themselves as dining destinations.
Settled in at a long, wooden communal table, you take a bite into house-made cavatelli pasta featuring fava beans and hen-of-the-wood mushrooms sourced from a few miles away. You sip on your made-in-Montauk Hop Blonde Ale. Close your eyes and imagine that meal. Chances are you’re seeing a simple, yet rustic setting. There’s the low hum of conversations from other tables in the background, maybe even some light music playing. I bet you’re not envisioning a restaurant inside an airport.

Zuny Llano and her husband, Augusto Acevedo, had always talked about opening a café. “A small spot where we could sell coffee and empanadas and maybe arepas,” Llano said of the abstract fantasy the Long Island City–based couple shared.
