Neighborhood Chat / Paint the plaza
« on: December 28, 2021, 06:41:36 AM »
Do you have any extra paint cans laying around and want to put them to use? Email me jeffsayyes@gmail.com
Sometime after this site is long gone, I am going to organize an event painting the grates in diversity plaza to make it look great again. (help me with some puns or naming). I'm going to wait for a warm Sunday to do it though, so either January is out or it's short notice.
Just wanted to grab some eyes here before it's all over for JHL.
bon voyage Todd et al

Hello all,
Unfortunately, I have decided not to go ahead with the Jackson Heights IRL website due to my current workload.
I hope we can continue to connect with each other on:
Reddit: r/jacksonheights https://www.reddit.com/r/jacksonheights/ or r/queens https://www.reddit.com/r/queens and the JHfamilies group on Google https://groups.google.com/g/jhfamilies/about

I heard it was same owners as la Abunduncia. This is totally unconfirmed and this is just a message board so i don't feel so bad spreading hearsay. Can anyone confirm?

Restaurants & Food / Re: Best lunch deals in Jackson Heights?
« on: October 13, 2021, 01:12:17 PM »Sompong Thai on 83rd St.: lunch special is $8.95, includes a spring roll + soup, salad or soda. There's a choice of about a dozen entrees. Before the pandemic, they'd give 10% off if you paid cash; don't know if that's still a policy.
Maharaja on 37th Ave. bw 73rd & 74th has an $8.99 "thali," which is the meal served in a metal tray with multiple sections, filled with, say, a curry, vegetable, dal, rice, chutney, etc. I think it includes bread and a dessert too.
I LOVE the mahjaraja thali. Yes, it comes with roti or naan and galub jamun or another sweet. great deal.

Khao Kang basically is always a lunch special with perfect portions for me. I feel like a lot of the thai lunches aren't totally worth it.
Soooo many colombian and ecuadoran places have great lunch specials. My favorite is Organic Juice and Coffee on 82nd, below Roosevelt. They have either salmon or turkey wing and your choice of salads for $12 or so. I feel good that it's healthy
