41-16 Queens Boulevard, Sunnyside, Queens $40 each for 4 people, with drinks, with tip 718/433.3702 ♥ ♥ Taking advantage of Queens while one of my favorite eating partners is in town from Chicago, we visited Salt & Fat with her brother to check out the scene in what is a very unfamiliar part of the…

82-18 45th Avenue, Elmhurst, Queens $20 each for 4 people, without drinks, with tip 718/898.8001 ♥ ♥ One of my favorite eating partners was in town from Chicago, so I basically forced her to eat in Queens and drag Paul, her Malaysian friend, with her so he can order for the rest of us and…

21-17 49th Avenue off 21st Street, Long Island City, Queens 718/425.6917 $330 for five, with drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ ♥ It’s rare that I eat out these days mostly because there’s something in my life now called “mortgage”, but when I do go, I make sure that I’m with a good group of people…

161-29 Crocheron Avenue, Flushing, Queens 718/321.7770 $40 per person for a group of 11, with drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ For one of the Dr.’s birthday celebrations this year, I gathered his favorite people together to share a table at Sik Gaek Restaurant in Flushing, Queens. Everyone had just seen the Anthony Bourdain NYC Outer…

The Hindu Temple Society of North America 45-57 Bowne Street, Flushing, Queens 718/460.8493 $8 to $10 per dish ♥ ♥ ♥ I’ll second Anthony Bourdain for this review: vegetarian food doesn’t have to suck. When Scott was visiting from Dubai, I thought of the Ganesh Hindu Temple canteen as our lunch spot because of his…

The constant rumbling coming from the #7 train above us was a sure sign that we were on Roosevelt Avenue in Queens. From 69th Street, we saw people who looked and sounded like us, but only a few blocks away was a completely different enclave of Queens. The Tagalog signs changed to Spanish and the…

72-20 Roosevelt Avenue, Jackson Heights, Queens 718/779.1119 about $40 for two, with one beer, with tip ♥ I was armed only with a Post-It when I dragged the Dr. to Queens to try out some Newari dishes in Jackson Heights. Ubin gave me some recommendations and I scribbled them on said Post-It. We walked in…

64-13 39th Avenue between 64th and 65th Streets, Woodside, Queens 718/899.9599 about $45, without drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ Sripraphai is the kind of restaurant you have to visit again in order to really get a good feel for its Thai cuisine. Dining with a large group would help because sharing is encouraged in order…

39-07 Prince Street, Flushing, Queens 718/359.1601 ♥ ♥ ♥ The pain didn’t take effect until five minutes into our meal. When I say pain, I’m talking about our tongues going numb, beads of sweat starting to dot our foreheads, a ringing sensation behind our ears and ooze starting to form in our small noses. All…
