Jackson Heights Life

Dear neighbors,

This is just a general and discussion question. What do you most anticipated to see open in this neighborhood comes 2018? Could be small or big. What do you like to see opening?

Thanks in advance!
Patrick

All these sounds great! Let see how we do it comes next year!

We can't wait for them to open!

Queensboro!

For fresh fish Mi Tierra on 81st and Northern Blvd has a great fresh fish counter. Pretty recently opened.

Also I'd like a fun bar with good music.

Have you been to Terraza 7? Great live music (usually starting about 8pm), great bar. Love the scene there. Rumors it might be forced out soon, but for now they are still going strong!

A restaurant without florescent lighting.

Lalochezia--ha ha ha. I enjoyed your post. Especially the part about mediocre restaurants that offer the same cuisine we already have so much of. It's so disappointing. The new health food place is a great addition, from the sound of it. I already heavily patronize Just Made 4 You but would love an additional choice along those lines. Though I think the new place is vegetarian only, so that's limited. And isn't the bagel shop re-opening as a Greek restaurant? I have high hopes for that--my favorite kind of food and hard to find around here. Almost tempts me to move to Astoria.

These conversations about what we want here in JH are just exercises in frustration. How would we get any of these fantastic things like a community center with a pool and indoor/outdoor playspace? We can't even get a for-profit health club chain with really good facilities/classes here. Who would fund such a community center? Sigh.

A small, gourmet style food market, I envision a bigger, better version of 37th avenue's Lemon Farm.
