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.

Thank you.Where are electric car batteries coming from?
Where is the elctricity coming from?
Perhaps not so green after all....
Even with the worst mining practices and powering them with the dirtiest possible electricity (coal), electric cars are still cleaner than gas or diesel. And of course, that isn't realistic, as the power we do get is cleaner than that and getting cleaner. So hopefully this will put your doubts to rest, and you can stop making this objection.

Or equally importantly, what does it take to get rid of them?
They get recycled. The raw materials alone make them too valuable to just throw away.
Tricky thing about that is that it’s also a bus-route street (Q47 and Q49). But in spirit, I think an idea like this is really interesting.I would absolutely like car free days on 74th st or 82nd street - 74th should be car free all the time
Love the idea of 74th being permanently car-free.
If I had to guess, I’d say that’s why the soft opening is continuing past the 2 week point. It seems there’s quite a bit of room for improvement with ordering and order fulfillment. Hopefully they will get it right soon. Would love to see them really succeed!Agreed. Delicious food. But loads of room for improvement on the operational efficiency side. Brunch today was yummy, but a little frustrating at times.
Yes, convenience of location is so important--we live in the 70s and have been to Urubamba and liked it very much--but the truth is, we are too lazy and/or tired to walk all the way up there, so when we dine out in the neighborhood, it's always within just a few blocks.Same. Though when we want Puruvian, Anzuelo Fino takes the cake.
