Jackson Heights Life

Stopped by last night to check out the music. Cool Jazz from the 50s smartly played, very enjoyable. Had a Supreme pizza, very tasty, thin crust, slightly blackened the way it's supposed to be. Service was not great, maybe the volume of the music caused communication problems.  The hostesses were charming and sat us right away. Nice crowd, featuring a cross section of the neighborhood, saw several longtime residents enjoying the vibe. Definitely a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

Lots of upcoming events


Hello, this will be a long one since we have much to tell you!
 
Closed on Thanksgiving Day
 
A lot of people have been asking us about our Thanksgiving plans. We decided that we would not open on Thanksgiving day, it's a day for families so we want our staff (and ourselves) to spend it connecting with loved ones.
 
(And perhaps a strange cousin or two.)
 
We will, however, be back on Black Friday and serving lunch at 12PM.
 
But we will gladly help you with your Thanksgiving day!
 
We're super excited to announce that you will soon be able to bring The Q into your home! We are currently gearing up to offer delivery (more on this soon!) but for now we're excited to announce that we can prepare food for your Thanksgiving dinner.
 
You can choose from picking a dish or two that will complement what you are cooking, to ordering an entire turkey dinner with many choices of sides and sauces and stuffing and desserts!

Call us at 929-296-0038 or email us or come in and talk to us to place your order!
 
Party room
 
Planning a private event? Want to have a group dinner? Kids birthday party coming up? We have you covered with our party room, where you will be able to host a wide range of events. It will be ready in a couple of weeks, so if you'd like to book it, send an email to events@thequeensboro.com and we can talk about what you're planning.

Work @ The Q during the day!
 
Not "for", we already have an amazing family of workers so we're not looking for anyone new right now. What we meant was that you can join the ranks of those who have been using the restaurant during our off hours to get some work done in a peaceful, spacious environment. Call us, email us, come in and talk to us, we'll fill you in on the details.
 
Greenmarket cooking demo on Sunday Nov. 18th
 
If you swing by the (amazing) Jackson Heights Greenmarket this coming Sunday at 12PM, Chef Tony will be hosting a cooking demo, with food you can buy from the market right then and there! Learn from the best, then impress your friends!
 
The Prodigals come to Jackson Heights!
 
This week we're thrilled to have The Prodigals perform on Thursday at 8PM! Not only have they been our friends for many many years, but they're pretty awesome in their own right!
 
They've been described as "What the Ramones might have sounded like if they’d taken traditional Irish music as their starting point".
 
They will play until 10PM or so, make your reservation now!

And after Thanksgiving, we're delighted that Karina Colis, a drummer & vocalist from Mexico will be playing boleros, cumbia, joropo and much more along with Eric Kurimski on guitar and Roman Rojas on guitar and vocals on Thursday the 29th at 8PM!

New Opening Hours!
On Fridays we will be opening at 2:30PM, for drinks and pizza.
 
We are proud to offer happy hour drinks to all Department of Education employees from 2:30PM-7PM.

We have some New York wines, Clovis Point vineyards on Long Island is one of our favorites and we carry several of their fine products!

Also, I just wanted to let folks know that we will be closed for Thanksgiving, but we will be open on Friday at 12PM for lunch!

Hi all! We just wanted to send out a quick note that this Thursday at 8PM The Queensboro we'll be hosting the awesome Karina Colis and her trio who will be playing cumbia, cha-cha-cha, bolero and more. You could make a reservation here, and consider joining our email list, or follow us on twitter and Facebook so you'll get all the latest news!

Also... we'll be closed on Monday because the JHBG are going to have their 30th anniversary fundraiser at the restaurant from 6-10PM! Please buy tickets or donate to support this fine group that does so much to make Jackson Heights a better place for everyone!

New Year's Eve Plans!

Hello friends, neighbors and party lovers! Below you'll find all the information on our New Year’s Eve party which we decided to hold on December 31st of this year. There is a lot of info, so if you just need a summary the basic idea is as follows:

We will be open that day until 8PM serving our normal dinner menu.

The party starts at 9PM and will cost $75 per person (plus tip and tax) which will get you a lot of delicious food from our raw bar, carving station, hors d’oeuvres and buffet, as well as two drinks! If you bring kids we’ll charge you $5 for every year they’ve been around, up to a maximum of $50. There will be a DJ and if you want to dance you most certainly can!

You can buy your tickets in person at The Q, or call us at 929 296-0038.


What is included in the price?
All food, two drinks, and entertainment.

Where can I buy tickets?
Come to The Queensboro in person or give us a call at 929 296-0038.

Will there be enough food for a full dinner?
Yes, this is The Queensboro so the quantity and range of food will be generous and excellent. Food includes passed hors d’oeuvres, pasta, pizza, raw bar, a carving station and dessert.

I have special dietary needs.
Please let us know when you purchase your tickets, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

How do the drinks work?
Everyone will get their first two drinks included in the price.  You can order cocktails, wine or beer.

What if I want more than 2 drinks?
The bar is fully available all night and additional drinks can be purchased at our normal menu prices. Your server can run a tab for you.

What if I want to bring children?
Tickets for guests under 21 years of age are priced at $5 per year up to $50.  Families with children will not be seated in the bar area.

I want to sit with another group that has booked separately.  Can we do that?
We will do our best to honor all seating requests.  Even if this is not possible,  we envision this as a walk-around cocktail event and we would disappointed if people stuck to their assigned seats for any length of time.

What is the cancellation policy?
Once purchased, tickets are non-refundable.  If you wish to relinquish your tickets we will make them available for re-sale to other guests.

Who is the DJ?  What type of music will be played?
Local superstar DJ Dak will be playing music from various decades, we’re certain that everyone will love what she plays.

What is the closing time?
We expect things to wind down sometime after midnight, and perhaps sometime before 4AM.


We're mixing things up as we enter the holiday season, because this week we have two bands playing!

Friday December 7th - The Cold Club of Queens will perform starting at 10PM. According to them - and we believe them! - they will whisk you away to a Parisian café from a bygone era with their unique brand of foot stompin’, toe tappin’, Django Reinhardt-inspired jazz.

Saturday December 8th, 10PM - Jonny Meyers returns! Jonny was the first artist to perform at The Q and he's a special guy who will be playing some very special blues, country and soul!

Thinking of coming on either or both of those day? Consider reserving a table!

Happy New Year to everybody! For those of you who made it to The Q for our New Year's Eve party, was it the best or was it the best? We had a blast and I think everyone else did too. I never imagined a conga line snaking through the restaurant, but nice surprises like that are very welcome!

Here's to a great 2019 to Jackson Heights and all the awesome people who live here.

We're starting the year off with a bang! This Friday at 9:30 The Cold Club of Queens will be playing their always-awesome Django inspired swing! Come for dinner, come for a drink, come for both and relax to their fun sounds, we hope to see you at The Q!
