My old neighborhood is having a bad run lately. What a horrible story.

yeah, I used to live btw 68th ave and 67th drive, and 108th st ran behind my building (perpendicular to 68th ave/67th dr), followed by 110th and 112th. For some ways there was a pattern of ave/rd/drive (67th ave, 67th rd, 67th dr, 68th ave etc), but only until you got to the LIE in one direction or union turnpike in the other, then it completely changed. Oh and of course 108th was parallel to yellowstone, but then the next parallel st was 102nd, followed by 99th, followed by 98th, and these were all diagonal to queens blvd and some curved while others were straight so it was all kinds of fucked up.

Terazza now has karaoke seven days a week starting off somewhere between eleven and midnight. Can be fun if you get on the list early enough and/or don't need to get up in the morning.

Sweet. I can’t get enough of it. We ordered submarino, the sit down place in Jackson heights that has a similar cuisine. It was good but not as good. They have aguachile ceviche type stuff and can be really spicy, but their shrimp cocktail had nothing on esquina.
― dan selzer, Saturday, 22 April 2023 01:38 (one year ago) link
i like the submarino aguachiles but yeah that cocktail is a different beast.
struck by the amount of community-ish public programming there is around here--a little earth day event by travers park yesterday, etc. that was not the vibe in ridgewood, where we had to laboriously construct a parent/kid network ad hoc. still trying to find my way in to that stuff in JH but it feels doable.
gotta say i am glad to have fled ridgewood in advance of the latest wave of style pieces and this weird gross mutation of the gentrification discourse, worth reading if only for the part where a fancy-denim-clad beard oil salesman says the quiet part very loud.

you mean 34th ave? i feel like they are slowly making it more and more inconvenient for cars but ultimately i think automated turrets are the answer
