Jackson Heights Life

I can't wait to see the new place.  I've always liked their food but thought they could be a bit more attractive inside.  Will try to eat there soon and check it out.

Looking for a dog walker/sitter for a small timid dog.  Someone who can walk and feed twice a day.  Must have references.  Private message me.  Thank you. Rose

Yelp just posted favorite Queens Dive Bars.  Ready Penny gets listed for JHs.  I highlighted the closest bars:


Starting out in Sunnyside, Elizabeth K is stoked over The Gaslight's three drinks for $10 happy hour deal: "Our friends ordered a pizza from down the block, which made it feel more like a gathering in someone's backyard rather than a night out at the bar." Out in Flushing, "$20 can go a long, long way" at Cheap Shots, according to Brittany A, who recommends the "Tequila Slammer, or 'XTC'," one of the many "silly names they have for drinks and shots." Over in Rockaway Park, Brandon Z checks for quality assurance at Rogers Irish Tavern: "No-nonsense, heavily accented bartender? Check. 'No Sniveling' sign? Check. Heck, they even have Anchor Steam on draft." Fancy (kinda)!

Drinking of course leads to drunchies, so though they have an "amazing selection of beers" at Astoria's Mad Donkey, Dena A cautions, "If you have an allergy to peanuts," be warned – "they're everywhere!" But if you're feeling brave, anaphylaxis-prone Yelpers, their bar nachos are "on point." Konstantin I has found a true dive in Ridgewood's Caskey's Tavern, where one can enjoy "microwaveable pizzas and free shuffleboard," while Elsie W is in a state of confusion at Sheehan's in Flushing over their 35 cent Jamaican wings: "I don't understand how we paid $10 for four half-half plates of wings and like 1000 pitchers." Well, "maybe not 1000, but it was pretty close."

For inebriates those who can't stop wailing once they've had a few, Stephanie S points to the jukebox at Kelly's in Astoria. "It's got all the staples for a good time drinking: Crüe, G 'n R, and tons of other great rock 'n roll bands," you party animals. Rebecca C prefers the "darts and pool table" at Jackson Heights' Ready Penny Inn, a "fantastic dive bar in the middle of Little India," and Whitestone's Stone Tavern impressed Alyssa F with their "hightop tables," multiple TVs, and stand alone shuffleboard: "Me and my friends played for hours!" Bukowski, drink your heart out!   

I know this thread is old but I finally got here form a quick lunch: toasted bialy with tuna salad.  It is cute in an old fashioned way (meaning the rag washed painted walls) but I like it because at least it has a personality and is not another sterile looking coffee shop.  Between E77 and this, it's nice to have choices.

Plus guy behind the counter is very nice. 

look thru old posts.  lots of threads on Vets.

I like it.  Food is good, portions are large.  Their omelets are monstrous.  Almost border on the obscene they're so huge.  But I do love left overs. (I always end up taking food home)  Service is fast and friendly.   And I think the reno looks nice.
