Culinary Backstreets® has spent years getting to know the vendors and tracking down the very best bites of the neighborhoods we visit on our tours. With this Barrio Box – and the accompanying video virtual “tour” – savor some of these iconic establishments in your own home and support and celebrate these Barcelona small businesses.

The historic Plaka district might be one of Athens’ most popular tourist destinations, but there’s another part of the area that visitors rarely see, one where the city’s ancient heart beats a little louder – particularly through the neighborhood’s food. It’s that culinary aspect of the district which we explore with our food tour in the area – and that you can bring to your own home and kitchen through our “Backstreet Plaka” box and an included virtual video tour. (Note: To be delivered in time for Christmas, this box must be ordered before Dec. 15.)
Mexico City’s size can be daunting, but it also happens to be one of its charms. Rather than simply endless sprawl, the city is made up of what feels like many smaller cities and villages joined together to create an incredibly diverse metropolis. How, then, to put all that size and diversity into one box? The answer is simple: fill it with products from the people who are part of our Mexico City tours and trips and whose work tells the story of their hometown’s many layers. Included is a virtual video “tour” that takes you even deeper into the shops and markets represented in the box. (Note: To be delivered in time for Christmas, this box must be ordered before Dec. 15.)
The area that encompasses the Queens neighborhoods of Corona, Elmhurst and Jackson Heights – which happens to be the location of our “United Kitchens” food tour – is one of the most diverse places on the face of the planet, home to a multitude of immigrant communities. That diversity is, naturally, best expressed through these neighborhoods’ vibrant food scenes. With our “United Kitchens of Queens” box, that culinary mix can now become part of your own kitchen. (Note: To be delivered in time for Christmas, this box must be ordered before Dec. 15.)
