54-46, that's my number: the Queens thread

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.

Thx both!

Jackson has faves include phayul, kababish, sammys halal.

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.

Yeah, Mrs. Redd was quite upset by that.

At Terraza seeing a full band for the first time in ages

congrats!

Terraza is packed right now! SRO

i gotta get out to that place

i was there last night!! but had to leave for dinner before the band started. great recommendation, will def go back soon

Amazing double bill at Terraza tonight.

RIP GC Stationery :(

Sad

Finally closed for good

And just saw the two guys in there yesterday getting ready to pay off the junk trunk. End of an era.

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?

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 House
Daxi 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!

Very sad and miss the Muslim lamb chops.

That was the best $25 you could spend on food in NYC.

hi steve!!!

theres a mini food court on the north side of roosevelt ave across from the new world mall makn entrance with joe's steamed rice rolls in the front stall and a jian bing spot just behind it, both worth your time.

there's a place on 40th rd that does good bing too, followoshi, it is newish. it shares a space with a duck roasting concern, i've only been once and tue duck jian bing was real good.

rip golden mall

hi steve!!!

little manilla festival in woosdide, 69th and roosevelt, right now.

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.

Oh shit I watched a video about these rice rolls a few months ago!! Which filling should I get???

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.

Ive never tried the curry fish balls with peanut sauce but they look intriguing.

I just ordered a pork steam rice roll!!!!!!

Nice.

IT IS SO GOOD

someone come do karaoke with me

Would if I could, thanks for asking

omfg if there is an afterlife I hope it’s this food court in the basement of New World Mall

there's some good cold noodle things at the stall in the NW corner

Wow, Flushing is amazing.

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.

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.

I went to the queens center mall this week. What a beautiful place

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

Beautiful? Have they spruced it up in recent years?

I was taking photos for my gram project (@mallselects)

great stuff, let me know if you ever want to print anything in queens too, I'm getting into the large format archival inkjet game, and a few stops away from the mall.

I think opal would freak out to see Sonia de los Santos and not here her okay her favorites.

Well you need to go back and hit up the brutalist coliseum that is Queens Place Mall, just down the block from Queens Center
