I have no earthly idea. But Corona was HEAVILY Italian back then. Today it's mostly Dominican with a few pockets of Italian leftovers.
PB have you ever been to Mamas or Leo Latticini in Corona? Great place to stop for sandwiches. They make them for the Mets and I think they either had or have a concession in Citi Field. Totally legit joint but a good place to stop for a sandwich whenever in Queens. http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/quee...rticle-1.437014
