Jando "Neruda" S.'s Profile

Date Night (NYC-Queens)

We come to dine in Queens for ethnic feasts, but what about for intimate eats? Places to enjoy a nice meal and a low key ambiance while getting to know your dining partner are reasons why the places below are highlighted ... in Queens!

1. De Mole

4502 48th Ave
Woodside, NY 11377
(718) 392-2161

Category: Mexican

Neighbourhood: Sunnyside

8/1/2011

Buried in the southern end of Sunnyside and Woodside, De Mole offers the Mexican bistro experience with plenty of contemporary culinary flare. It may not look like it in this quiet stretch of the neighborhood, but it may just be the most popular…More »

2. Cabana

107-10 70th Rd
Forest Hills, NY 11375

Categories: Latin American, Cuban

Neighbourhood: Forest Hills

4/28/2010

Forest Hills is home to many great eateries and one of the best ones in the area is Cabana, a Cuban hot spot with some excellent food.

The place isn't big but is a great place to enjoy a date or small group in a semi-intimate setting. One major gripe…More »

3. Fatty's Cafe

25-01 Ditmars Blvd
Astoria, NY 11105
(718) 267-7071

Categories: American (New), Latin American, Breakfast & Brunch

Neighbourhood: Astoria

Update - 7/25/2008

Fatty's still remains one of Astoria's best, bringing comfort Latin food with a healthy twist to an area overwhelmed with Greek and Italian eateries. There have been a lot of changes here as of late, all of which have resulted in greater experiences…More »

Astoria, NY 11103
(718) 956-0372

Categories: Breakfast & Brunch, Modern European

Neighbourhood: Astoria

Of all of the amazing places that make Astoria such an amazing hood, Stove is among the very best. This modest sized establishment is the consummate neighborhood dining bistro, boasting some of the tastiest food this side of Queens has to offer.

5. Arepas Cafe

33-07 36th Ave
Astoria, NY 11106
(718) 937-3835

Category: Latin American

Neighbourhood: Astoria

1/20/2012

When it comes to arepas, most people are crazy about Caracas (http://www.yelp.com/bi...), but I'm nuts for Arepas Cafe. Out of the two places, Arepas Cafe is cheaper, tastier, friendlier, there's never a wait, and it's in Queens. Is it really even…More »

4009 Junction Blvd
Corona, NY 11368
(718) 639-8158

Category: Cuban

Neighbourhood: Elmhurst

2/3/2012

Corona is a magical part of Queens where Latin eats is available in all directions. One place representing the hood well is Rincon Criollo, known to many in foodieland as one of the (if not the) best real Cuban establishments in NYC. Despite never…More »

(718) 786-5534

Categories: Latin American, Bakeries

Neighbourhood: Sunnyside

2/12/2012

In a hood full of Mexican and Colombian eateries, I Love Py might just be the only place along Greenpoint Ave that specializes in Paraguayan food. It's easily a 4 or 5 star restaurant, with an simple menu and friendly service, it is certainly among…More »

Categories: Modern European, Music Venues, Wine Bars

Neighbourhood: Woodside

2/28/2012

Sunnyside may not possess the luster or allure of Astoria, where bars and restaurants are all out in the open for all to see. But in this underrated (and often under appreciated) hood, some of the best gems n Queens are beyond the colorful trenches…More »

Recently updated lists from Jando S.

This is Nawlins (NOLA) (2) New Orleans, a city that never surrounded to tourists, hurricanes, or broken levees, is a great place to visit any time of the year. The following are some of the best places I've enjoyed in my time in NOLA. Welcome to the Big Easy.	Cravin Cajun (Louisiana) (2) Cajun food is done best in Louisiana, bar none. They love their food and I love eating it.
May '12 Challenge: What's in A Name? (21) Who's name is it anyway? A collection of reviews with businesses that bear a name, like Jando's Taqueria El Chingon.	You Had Me At Halal (NYC) (2) Many cities have food carts, but do they have a high concentration of Halal food? Likely not. This Muslim kosher friendly diet can be found for inexpensive prices all over NYC. Classics like chicken and rice, lamb gyro, lamb over rice ... getting hungry yet? Mmm.
Streets Meats & Eats (NYC) (16) Paying in a restaurant is for decor and service, eating in the streets gets you straight to the heart of it all - the food. Cheap, simple, and perfect for nearly all occasions rain or shine. If Bourdain prefers meat on a stick to fine haute cuisine dining, then maybe the rest of the world is onto something.	Delicious Dives (NYC) (23) Super clean places need not apply. Group friendly is a foreign concept. Bugs? Hear no evil, see no evil. The best, cheapest food always feature simple food. These are the places in NYC where good food can be had for very little money, in a setting not all are willing to endure.
Hangover Heaven (NYC) (11) When feening the next morning from a night's worth of drinking, these places will have you back to normal faster than you can spell sober.	West of the Village (NYC) (3) Some folks call it Greenwich and some might call it celebrity central, I call it the West Village.
April Review Challenge 2012: The UnderDog (28) Sometimes you just have to write about the little guy. And by little guy, I mean places that have less than 10 reviews.	The Waiting Game (NYC) (25) Good things come to those who wait. Few like to do it but sometimes that is all that can be done in the quest for good food and happiness. Read a book, practice your conversation skills, or meet new friends while at it. In the meantime, here is a list of potential places worth enduring while earning that virtue we call "patience."
