cross Roosevelt and go to La Esquina Del Camaron Mexico, the shrimp ceviche (and other stuff) place in the back of a bodega. The most delicious thing I've ever had.

#HappeningNow: At the Jackson Heights Public Library, roughly 15 far right conspiracy theorists attempted to roll up on the library, which is hosting a Drag Story Hour event, and were met by what looks to me around 100+ defenders. pic.twitter.com/XbwDp6D2GS— Talia Jane ❤️🔥 (@taliaotg) December 29, 2022

NIce! Let me see how many people I recognize in that picture. Freddy, Faco, VIctor, maybe Ivana, turned around. The other lady might be Elvira. Think Sebastian Cruz is playing there tonight as part of someone else's project.

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
― adam, Friday, 15 September 2023 16:33 (seven months ago) link
Yes

Inconvenience for cars maybe but the motorcycles have filled the void.

There was a Kikes something or other on 43rd Ave in sunnyside too. It’s a Hispanic name.

We practically live in Tangram. Food court is great they even have a zaab zaab outpost. We went to the fancy Peking duck place too huge wait but an amazing meal and experience. Everything was delicious except for the famous dish that is mashed potatoes shaped like a rabbit general in a cold creamy chicken sauce. Just wasn’t to our taste perhaps. I’d share a link if I wasn’t so lazy. Google it.
