Greetings, JH Lifers. Just in case you missed it, this website will be closing down on December 31st. It's been a great journey, but it is time for this site to walk off into the sunset (or whatever lies on the other side of the BQE). Please see our recent announcement for more information.
Hopefully this is just the beginning of a new chapter in efforts to build community online and in real life. Come join your neighbors at r/jacksonheights or r/queens on Reddit, Jackson Heights 11372 on Facebook, and the venerable JHfamilies group on Google.

I don't hear people asking for a blow-dry bar or an outpost of Per Se.
And if you look at the prices of 1-2 bedroom apartments right now and how these are skyrocketing, it may compute soon.
This should be interesting. I love bubble tea, but not the ones made from powders...which is most of the bubble tea in the area. Ten Ren is one of the few that doesn't use powder. Here's to hoping that Brothers is also not powder-based!
I would love a good ramen joint! Doesn't require a lot of space, and who doesn't love real ramen.
So much money spent in remodeling. And alas, so many design blunders.
The large copper framed windows outside are attractive... but the ones facing 79th Street look straight into the back of the messy counter with the cash register. Instead of enticing shoppers into the store....we see the back of the cashier's legs and assorted unappealing paraphernalia stored under the counter.
Did no-one envision the outcome before spending thousands and thousands of dollars?
What's disappointing is that for the same amount money spent, it could've been a great store...instead of a mediocre one. It's kinda like the shop owners don't "shop" around...to get style ideas from stores who have done it right...
I suppose that's the difference between very successful merchants....and ones who just don't really get it.
Chung Ki Wa on 74th just off broadway.....right by the train entrance and next to the gay spanish sports bar [if not only in JH, mostly in JH] formerly known as the music box....best for BBQ, done at table albeit not over charcoal. they have a better variety of banchan and some reasonable soju as well.
the vietnamese place right there [Thai Son] has excellent pho, but fair to middling everything else.
happy noshing!My boyfriend and I went to Hae Woon Dae at Bway/76th over the weekend. I had kimchi jjigae, he had soon doo bu jjigae. Both really good. Atmosphere leaves a bit to be desired, but I'll deal for good Korean food. Any other worthy Korean recommendations. We are exploring JH and to plan to hit 'em all.
