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.
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
just curious, Michael:
you're a new user who's posted pretty exclusively on this topic and seem to have a good grasp of the neighborhood and the culinary concept....are you pondering opening a spot, perhaps?
Honestly, not at all. I lack the aptitude, drive, or patience to be a business owner. Not my forté in the least. My lady lives there and I often crave something along these lines in the neighborhood when I’m there. And I had (have) a suspicion that there are many who feel the same. I think someone could have a successful go at it.
I did a search and it appears this is only their second location the other in Minnesota. It looks spectacular and appears to be a first class bakery/coffee shop. Any thoughts on how this will effect other similar businesses in the area especially like Lety's & Espresso 77? Considering what could have gone into that space, this is an enormous plus for Jackson Heights.

What's so bad about Panera? It's fairly healthy/healthier than, say, KFC, fast food of the type that many non-privileged, non-gentrifying residents here would no doubt appreciate. No, it's not fine cuisine, but you yourself, jo3boxer, say that the quality of the food of our many restaurants is not really your point of this discussion. Rather, it's race and class. I think your point of view here would be beloved by 45, as it would only serve to further fuel the anti-immigrant fires of his supporters.
