Jackson Heights Life

Let the fireworks begin!



If you aren't yet convinced, be assured that we at The Q are huge fans of the 4th of July! We're planning on doing things a little differently this year.

We'll be open from 4PM - 9PM, and we plan on making full use of our back alley to enjoy some very urban celebrations of the birth of this fine country.

With sprinklers, a kiddie pool, a watermelon eating contest, drinks and grilling we've really stepped up our game this year! Come on by if you're around and hang out with us while listening to our neighbors set off illegal fireworks.

Even if you can't make it, we wish you and your families a fantastic 4th of July and we hope to see you soon!

$10 Pizza Today For Mets Fans!

Come Watch the All Star Game with us at 7:30!

Mets fans rejoice! After Pete Alonso's win yesterday in the Home Rub Derby he'll be fired up to play alongside his colleagues Jacob DeGrom and Jeff McNeil tonight at 7:30, and we are so fired up about this that we're going to be offering $10 pizzas all night to anyone wearing their Mets gear, so come by and say hi to us tonight!
 
You could also make a reservation to make sure you get a good seat.

Wino Wednesday Continues!

Everyone loves a cool glass of white or rosé on a summer day, but have you thought about switching it up with a chilled summer red wine?  Cooler temperatures accentuate the wine’s natural fruit profile while tamping down the alcohol.  It's perfect with pizza or grilled meats or just to quaff with some small nibbles, all while keeping your cool.
 
We’re pouring a lovely Dolcetto with a nice chill this summer at The Queensboro and on Wino Wednesday this week, we’ll be offering it will a cool price tag as well - $6 a glass all night long. Its a chance to try something new and maybe put a different tint on your summer wine drinking.


 
Cheers!

Jazz on Thursday and Sunday!

We are looking forward to more excellent jazz this week with two big events!
 
First, consider joining us on Thursday at 8PM to check out the Jon Menges Trio bring it with some fantastic jazz tunes for a couple of sets. We're delighted to have them play with us again.
 
Then, on Sunday, we will close out the Jackson Heights Jazz Festival with a performance by The Ed Fuqua Trio at 8PM! We could say that it's worth coming for this just to see Ed's gorgeous custom bass but that wouldn't do justice to the talent that he brings to the table.
 
This is some of the finest jazz around folks, we highly recommend going to the Vanessa Rubin Travers Park concert at 6PM for a taste of some outdoors music before coming to The Q to finish the festival off with a bang. You won't be disappointed, but if you don't make a reservation you might, so why not go ahead and do that now?

On Tuesday September 24th, at 8:30PM Cheese doesn’t have to Stand Alone!

Hello cheese lovers! We’re always excited when cool new neighbors move in, so we were really thrilled when Steffen Kenney opened Stand Alone Cheese in Jackson Heights.

This gem of a store not only sells some amazing cheeses, but also has bread (some of it from the baked-at-the-Q Little Wildbranch Bakery), charcuterie, ice cream, exotic canned goods, a friendly approachable attitude and much more!

We want you to meet these guys, so we’re hosting a Stand Alone Cheese Night here at The Queensboro.

On Tuesday, September 24th at 8:30pm, Steffen will lead a curated tasting of fine cheeses from his shop, each paired with some of our fresh, delicious beers. Five cheeses, five beers and lots of wisdom, all for $25 per person. 

Seating will be limited so we strongly recommend booking in advance.

Leave us a note saying "CHEESE!" in the reservation so we know you're booking a space for this event.

If you can’t make the tasting, fear not! We’ll be offering a Stand Alone Cheese plate the rest of the week (or until it sells out).  What’s more all of the cheeses from the tasting are available for purchase at Stand Alone Cheese, 79-07 37th Avenue.

A little more about Steffen:

Steffen's journey into the world of cheese began 20 years ago, as a student in Philadelphia. A part-time job at Downtown Cheese in the Reading Terminal Market turned into a full-time passion. Steffen was drawn to the diversity of cheeses from around the world and the stories behind them. He enjoyed how discussions about cheese often transformed into conversations about life.

After moving to New York, Steffen work at local institutions Ideal Cheese and Artisanal Fromagerie and Bistro. He also guided food and beer tours throughout the city. Steffen dreamed of opening a shop in Queens to provide quality cheese and specialty products to an underserved part of the city.

When his friends at Table Wine  encouraged him to check out 37th Avenue, Steffen knew that he had found just the place: an amazing community hungry for cheese, and on June 1, 2019, he opened Stand Alone Cheese in Jackson Heights.[/size]

Irish Rock Concert!



This weekend we're having a special music-on-a-Saturday sort of event because we're lucky enough to have The Prodigals perform at The Q! They played for Saint Patrick's Day this year and they were a lot of fun, everyone loved them and we've had a lot of requests to get them to come back, so we jumped at the chance to book them again.

This Saturday get ready to rock out to some awesome Irish music at The Queensboro. It's very family-friendly so feel free to bring your kids and hang out in the afternoon, we'll be serving food at 4 and the drinks will certainly be flowing!

They've been described as "What the Ramones might have sounded like if they’d taken traditional Irish music as their starting point", which is very high praise in this neck of the woods!

Board Gaming Tomorrow!

Hello friends! And hello board gaming fans! We're delighted to team up with Shenanigans NY tomorrow to bring our weekly board gaming night to The Queensboro!

Every Wednesday, at 6:30 we're turning the restaurant into a board gamer's paradise! About 50 games will be available to play - from the classics, to some of the newest games just released from the best designers on Kickstarter. This is a very family-friendly event, but we've also had people show up alone, or as a couple, and they had a great time.

The awesome folks at Shenanigans will be there to guide you through the rules of any game you might be unfamiliar with, or to match you up with potential partners. There will be discounts and raffles and it's a fantastic opportunity to make some new friends, bond with some old ones, or simply bring the whole family and enjoy an evening of gaming and good food.

You can register for this event right here!

Thursday, 8:30 - George Papageorge and friends!

George Papageorge is one of the finest blues and jazz keyboard players, he lives right here in Jackson Heights and we're lucky enough to have him and his pals play at The Q from time to time. It's a wonderful show, the music is great and we love having them play here.

If you're free, swing by for a drink, or if you also want to have a meal, then if you make a reservation it would be just swell!

Sunday - Pau Hana at The Queensboro

This coming Sunday our Sunday Supper will be slightly different. Join Halawai for some kanikapila, ʻono food and a fun time at The Queensboro. There will be music, dancing and lots of that loving, unique Hawaiian vibe! We'll feature a special menu with Hawaiian offerings by Chef Tony.

It will take place from 5-7PM, but if you can't make it that early, don't worry - we'll make sure to keep the delicious food available all night!

You can - and should - reserve for this event right here!

Are you ready for something completely different on Saturday the 23rd? We sure are!

Starting at 10PM we will host a drag show featuring Ducky Sheaboi and Patsy Indecline, plus a special guest! See the flyer below for more information.

Love the drag party idea! Good one, Dudley!

Thanks! I've often said that without drag queens the world would be a very dreary place indeed.

Unfortunately due to circumstances out of our control we've had to postpone this event until the following weekend. So now it's on November 30th, same time, same place, same drag queens! The pic below says it all, hopefully see you all there!

didn't seem to faze the crowd that was inside when i walked by...
