Wife discovered Jackson Diner and now we’re having Indian like every other day. Any Recommendations from that place?

My recommendation would be to eat at the Mustang Thakali Kitchen instead.

If you like dosas, I recommend Samudra on 37th Ave and 75th St.

This is a heartbreaking story, and also, I never remember hearing about stuff like this happening in Jackson Heights, at least not in my eight years in queens.

xp'D from the other NYC thread:y'all I'm spending 24 hours in Flushing just for the hell of it, what should I do/eat/see in Flushing?
― Warmed Regards, (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 30 September 2021 19:38 (two years ago) link
there's an overwhelming number of guides to flushing out there but the i find joe distefano at chopsticksandmarrow.com to be very reliable. bring cash, lots of cash only places. get the #6 at white bear.

Some pretty good pirated DVD’s on 41st road and main

What adam said, and with provisos that non-veg and covid:
Hunan Kitchen of Grand Szechuan (on main street, Uncle Mao's pork)Szechuan Mountain HouseDaxi in the New World Mall (a little upscale, but the food is v good)Haven't been to Spicy and Tasty in ages, but might still be good.
Would have recommended the weirdo salad at Fu Run but it's apparently closed!

little manilla festival in woosdide, 69th and roosevelt, right now.
― dan selzer, Saturday, 2 October 2021 15:21 (two years ago) link
I crave steamed rice rolls on a regular basis but alas they're not entirely gluten-free and use part rice but also part wheat flour.
― Ima Gardener (in orbit), Saturday, 2 October 2021 15:24 (two years ago) link
Oh shit I watched a video about these rice rolls a few months ago!! Which filling should I get???
― Warmed Regards, (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 2 October 2021 16:28 (two years ago) link
Shrimp for sure and maybe the non-bbq pork? Iirc there are a few additives and you can customize for whatever you want--scallions, corn?, can't remember what else.
― Ima Gardener (in orbit), Saturday, 2 October 2021 16:44 (two years ago) link
Ive never tried the curry fish balls with peanut sauce but they look intriguing.
― Ima Gardener (in orbit), Saturday, 2 October 2021 16:52 (two years ago) link

omfg if there is an afterlife I hope it’s this food court in the basement of New World Mall
― Warmed Regards, (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 4 October 2021 00:59 (two years ago) link
there's some good cold noodle things at the stall in the NW corner
― adam, Monday, 4 October 2021 01:21 (two years ago) link
Wow, Flushing is amazing.
― Warmed Regards, (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 5 October 2021 15:08 (two years ago) link
Hmm I may need to make a flushing trip soon. It's been a while, and one of the things I found really cool about it was how dynamic it was -- changes all the time, new restaurants/vendors all the time.
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Tuesday, 5 October 2021 15:14 (two years ago) link
Just made a trip to Flushing- to shop at Macy’s! - as part of pandemic dig out.But really came to post that Brazilian music seems to be blowing up a bit at Terraza. It always had some presence but now more high level players are coming more often and there is going to be a monthly jam session which promises to bring in a lot of good music as well.

One of the most profitable malls in American, surprisingly. Or not.
