Neighborhood Chat / Party Supply Store?
« on: January 15, 2011, 08:56:20 AM »
Hello,
Can anyone recommend a party supply store withing walking distance of the mid 80s? I believe that the one on 37th around 84th (the one that had been open a year or so) closed. Thanks!

Restaurants & Food / New Wine Shop on 37th?

I passed a great-looking new (or at least new to me) wine store on 37th between 79 and 80, next to the lock store. Very classy decor. No sign, but it looks like it could be a wonderful spot--I hope they do some tastings or other events!
Anyone else have more info?

Neighborhood Chat / Re: NYT Article Criticizing JH
« on: January 04, 2009, 11:14:56 PM »We sent in a letter to the editor at Times. Here is our text:
To the Editor:
Adam Ellick found our Queens neighborhood to be “exotic†and “impenetrable†(In Queens: A Melting Pot, and a Closed Book, Published: January 2nd, 2009). Rather than attributing his difficulty in building local relationships to inhospitable ethnic populations laboring and living in Jackson Heights, he would be wise to consider another explanation. Perhaps our neighbors simply found his attitude, assumptions about their immigration status and incessant search for “colorful†anecdotes voyeuristic and disturbing.
Bravo. Thanks to all for their thoughtful insights. Nice to have received such interesting replies to my first post!

Neighborhood Chat / NYT Article Criticizing JH

Wow. This article threw me for a loop. I don't mean to diminish the author's experiences, but I sure hate the horrible light in which it portrays JH . . . and as a relative newcomer I certainly haven't found it to be true.
