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.

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
― ncxkd, Sunday, 17 October 2021 21:28 (two years ago) link
One of the most profitable malls in American, surprisingly. Or not.

Beautiful? Have they spruced it up in recent years?

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.

Well you need to go back and hit up the brutalist coliseum that is Queens Place Mall, just down the block from Queens Centerhttps://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/qchron.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/7/d4/7d44620a-bc88-5b4b-ac7b-8800df193556/5caf72db5b6d8.image.jpg?resize=750%2C437

Where do people like to eat near MoMI these days?

We don’t eat at arepas cafe much anymore because arepas grill is less crowded and has parking but that’s solid. Astoria seafood down the st is supposed to be amazing.
― dan selzer, Saturday, 23 October 2021 23:55 (two years ago) link
Thanks! Might try that. What do you think of the Thai restaurant I keep passing, Maple Thai Eatery?
― Double Chocula (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 24 October 2021 00:01 (two years ago) link
Elmhurst or Woodside Thai or die. If you’re driving go over there.

Like Felix, I kept on walking, so I tried Ma’Ple after all. It’s fine and quite spicy, if a bit generic.

a mile up steinway theres a lot of really good stuff, recently had excellent algerian sandwich at meeguez et frites

Tacuba across the street from MoMI is very solid imo and good place for atmosphere and drinks as well

Yeah, that place is great, go there as often as I can.

Astoria Seafood is fuckin' great. there was a greek place around there i used to love but that was fifteen years ago and it's likely gone now.
― When Young Sheldon began to rap (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 24 October 2021 15:15 (two years ago) link
The method at Astoria Seafood sounds mad! How do you pick something out and then tell them how to cook it?? What have you ordered there? Tell me all.
― Ima Gardener (in orbit), Sunday, 24 October 2021 15:19 (two years ago) link
you can just say "as the chef likes" and take your chances

The amount of chaos and uncertainty is very concerning. I feel anxious just thinking about it. What are the sides like?
― Ima Gardener (in orbit), Sunday, 24 October 2021 15:21 (two years ago) link
Oh okay it's Greek, sorry, I just needed to read up on it.
― Ima Gardener (in orbit), Sunday, 24 October 2021 15:22 (two years ago) link
I had a whole crazy thing where I put money in the tip jar but then the "waiter" chased me down afterwards anyway, speaking of chaos. The owner than asked me what was going on and seemed to be annoyed at the guy.Came to post that I like this place, even though I don't buy too many physical books anymore. Come to think if it, I remember the night of the event pictured, somehow I ended up the afterparty if not the event itself.https://www.centroculturalbarcodepapel.org/noel-jardines/

walked by Casa Del Chef as it was opening and mentioned it on chow.com when that was something I'd still look at. I've still never been but everybody loves it. Now in danger of closing.

Orsolya Gaal murderer in custody. She lived in my old neighborhood and down the block from our friends - I didn't know her personally but had seen her post in neighborhood fb groups and remembered her name when I saw the news. RIP and peace to the family.

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.
