LIC Food Tour
LICqueenstv writer Eso Romero
LIC Food Tour
A recent and welcome attraction, Local Finds Queens Food Tour is a culinary and cultural walking adventure in LIC. Sergey, the tour guide, was knowledgeable and a true professional, providing a good mix of food tastings and LIC history tidbits. The food tour portion was a carefully planned sequence of variety, beginning with a five-cheese mac and cheese at Sage General Store and ending with Rocket Fuel iced coffee from Sweet Leaf.
Our first stop, Sage General Store, has been around since 1997, originally a catering company whose primary client was Silver Cups Studios, where The Sopranos and Sex in the City were filmed. Sage has continued in its commitment to local purveyors with a farm-to-table menu. We sampled their famous mac and cheese, which earned a spot on Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. The five-cheese mac (fontina, swiss, goat cheese, aged Vermont cheddar and bleu cheese) was saucy and rich with a faint crisp. It was topped with finely grated bacon so the bacon taste was subtle. The serving in a small bowl was sufficient; a larger serving would have felt quite heavy. Every bite was somewhat different from another, with the bleu cheese edge popping up every other bite. We had the side size, but an entree size is available.
What I’d like to try next time: spit-roasted half chicken.
At the Woodbines Craft Kitchen, an Irish gastropub, I had my first encounter with Scotch eggs, a common picnic food in the UK. A Scotch egg is a hard-boiled egg wrapped in sausage then coated in bread crumbs, baked or deep fried. Our serving was halved and exquisitely placed on top of a drizzle of spicy mustard and fresh greens. The dish was well-seasoned and flavorful with a nice crunch to the coating. Scotch eggs are a perfect bar bite that would be a nice accompaniment to a cold beer.
What I’d like to try next time: fish and chips and truffle fries.
Our third stop was at the Vernon Blvd location of Blend, a Latin-fusion restaurant. The airy, open space is dotted with colorful prints of Latin American hot spots upon the walls. The tasting included two kinds of Colombian-style empanadas: carne (shredded beef) and espinaca y queso (spinach and cheese). These small stuffed pockets had a crispy and thick crust, not the flaky, buttery kind, but a crust similar to the cornmeal content of an arepa. I preferred the spinach and cheese, which had more complexity of flavors from the mild cheese and spinach bits.
What I’d like to try next time: mofongo con sofrito.
Next up was Alobar, a restaurant offering New American cuisine and an extensive whiskey menu. Upon entering one may notice the detail of the ceiling above the bar area, which is made of reclaimed wood from an old schoolhouse near Philadelphia. Such detail in the design contributed to the comfort-food experience. We tried a customer favorite, the maple bacon popcorn. This sweet and salty treat was coated with maple syrup and dotted with thick-cut bacon bits. It was a bit heavy with the syrup which tipped the flavor balance and made it difficult to eat with fingers, as one would normally eat popcorn. It may have been an off day in the kitchen, but I’d be willing to try it again.
What I’d like to try next time: homemade fettucini carbonara.
We moved on to a beverage tasting at Rockaway Brewery, one of three different breweries in LIC. Rockaway started in a backyard in Far Rockaway and now the business is growing, going from 16 kegs a week to over 60 most recently. All their beers are unfiltered and unpasteurized. We sampled their ESB (Extra Special Bitter), a twist on an English ale. It was smooth and not overly hoppy. I’m not a regular beer drinker, but I did enjoy the flavor profile of the ESB and would be interested in trying their other beers.
What I’d like to try next time: $6 4-beer flight.
Our final destination was Sweetleaf, a Critics’ Pick of New York magazine. Its original location is on Jackson Avenue, but we stopped at the Center Blvd location. The ambiance is a striking contrast to the high rise building it lives in, with its dark reclaimed wood decor and antique stylings. The Rocket Fuel iced coffee was a perfect end to the tour, an 18-hour cold-brewed coffee with chicory, maple syrup and milk. The first taste was smooth with no bitter edge. Despite the maple syrup addition, it was not too sweet; it was rich but mellow, with a complexity to each sip. I’d definitely return for the refreshing boost of Rocket Fuel.
What I’d like to try next time: strawberry puree tea.
Overall,Local Finds Queens Food Tour provided an informative and varied peek into LIC history and food offerings. Priced at $56 per person, the tour is priced a bit high for the experience, given the size of the samplings. Sergey’s vast knowledge of the area was impressive and tweaking the food tastings to match would make the tour more appealing

REVIEW FOR L'INIZIO PIZZERIA IN LIC
LICqueenstv writer Daniel Sennet
LIC residents have been teased with the opening of L’Inizio for the past few months and at long last, a few friends and I had the opportunity to try it. Only one week into its opening, there was a steady crowd coming into the upscale pizza joint and the staff seemed to be managing a relatively forgiving group of eaters. No matter how my experience unfolded, I encourage you to come and try it out and decide for yourselves, as pizza is, if nothing else, a food born from love and as such, is one of the most subjectively judged food groups.With me tonight were my wife who was looking for an alternative to traditional pizza, an 18 year old that was looking for quantity and our neighbors, fellow ex-Manhattanites looking for the perfect combination of quality and quantity. As we entered, you immediately get a warm and fuzzy feeling emanating from the exposed brick wall and the home-inspired decorum. Bright lights, small ceiling fans and (compared to Manhattan) an open space make the place welcoming and you get the feeling that you’re in for a treat. At that point, the confusion sets in. There’s no one to greet you or seat you, so the upscale reputation the owners are trying to create suffers a setback. No big deal; we’re at a pizza joint. We seat ourselves at a table and realize there’s no wait staff…again, no big deal; we’re at a pizza joint. On approaching the area to order, we get asked if we’ve been helped, and respond that we’d like to order a few pies. They motioned us down to the end of the bar to order. So why ask? I inquired about their salads…and they were “coming soon” along with their paninis and ‘sweets’. Their store and online menus shouldn’t advertise the existence of menu items that don’t exist. Ok… at the end of the day, we came for the pizza and we were still excited about it. We make our way along an open top display of various slices. I have to admit, they were beautiful. Obviously a higher caliber than your basic cheese or pepperoni slice you can grab for $2. The Carciofo slice, described as “Crispy artichokes, plum tomatoes, ricotta, roast garlic and basil. Thin crust and pan-baked L'inizio style squares” catches my attention as does the Parma, another square with delightfully-thin sliced prosciutto di Parma. Taking a back seat to these slices were a few different calzones that were probably delicious, but not what we came for. All in all, things were looking up. We finally get to the cashier who takes our order of two pies, garlic knots (another funny contradiction, why offer garlic knots? I thought you get those 5 for a $1 on 6th ave) and an order of meatballs. The accompanying four drinks took the cashier 6 minutes to ring in. Their Ipad POS system was either too complicated or the staff hadn’t been properly trained. The total, including tip, was $80 for the five of us. Not bad. Ok, order is in, appetites are strong,
expectations are high and the mood is right. We start to take a look around. The exposed brick, granite counter tops and high ceilings offer a refined Long Island City industrial chic atmosphere. There is a back patio that if it were not raining, would have immediately called to us. More on that later. Taking a look at the pizza-making station, I noticed a multi-tiered metal oven that appeared to be right out of the box. Shiny and somewhat industrial. And then the music sets in. At a place where the ingredients are sourced locally (as in, the back patio) and are extremely fresh, where there is no pepperoni but house-made sausage or spicy soppressata, why are we listening to 70s disco or the theme to Grease? I’m just not sure if this is a grab-a-slice pizza joint or an upscale pizza establishment. I get the feeling that the owners haven’t decided yet either. The pizzas were made fresh to order and took approximately 20 minutes to prepare. They were delivered to the back bar, along with the meatballs (served in a plastic takeout container) and our name was called to come and grab it. We weren’t given any cutlery, or plates, or napkins, etc. Ok, not a problem because in front of us were two humungous pizzas. I do mean very large. I was excited to see thin-crust pies, one rectangular “Cinque Terre” a vegetarian pizza topped with beautifully prepared peppers, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes and basil and one circular, the Prosciutto di Parma. Neither appeared to be greasy or sloppy, but rather refined and elegant. We each take our first bite, that oh-so-delicious, tantalizing and long-awaited first bite, the one that makes you forget about everything leading up to that point, the one that gives you the satisfaction from having your expectations not only meet, but exceeded and the one that immediately decides for you when the next time you’ll be coming back is. And instead of the earthy tones from the basil or the peppers or the aromas and saltiness from the prosciutto, we get met with a rather anemic tasting crust and bland sauce. It could only be described as missing the love that good pizza has to be made with. It’s as if the restaurateurs had studied hard for a huge final exam, were very well prepared, knew their material inside and out, and then choked.
At the risk of sounding off on a place that has only been open for one week, I want to mention a few key points. First, it is nice to have the option to get a sophisticated square of pizza, not just a greasy pepperoni slice. After going to town on our meal, we still had 5 slices to take home. Excellent value. The staff all seemed very willing and accommodating. Not in use on the rainy night was a beautiful back patio that should one day either seat guests or offer the opportunity to enjoy a standing drink. The place is rife with potential. At the end of the day, I could tell that passion for pizza was in the air, but the staff needed a few more training days to get their flow right, the oven needed about a thousand pizzas made in it before public use and the final product needed some further refinements before being sold to a consuming public that has a deep-rooted history in pizza. I have no doubt that in 2 months, L’Inizio will find its balance and its place in Long Island City as the premiere pizza joint, but for now, the staff behind it need to work out the kinks.
