btw where is fatty's ?
On the corner of Ditmars and Crescent. There's no sign outside that says Fatty's though, it's just a plain solid blue square...right on the corner.
and you said they have a good brunch right? Dh and I are looking for a different place to go for brunch, this weekend we're going to the one Denise recommended: Euro's
Yes, they have a great brunch menu, drink included. Their menu as a whole is kind of.....casual cuban/latin american. It's delicious.

I think it was called Smokeys...that's where this new place is. A friend of my mom's went to the new place and said the BBQ part was GREAT. But the sushi chef wasn't in yet, so she couldn't try it.

I just read a review about it and it says it's owned by some famous guy who owns restaurant in manhattan, chicago and the caribbean...and he combined all the different kinds of cuisines at those places and made Lucky Mojos since we didn't have any of those kinds of restautants.
We've been meaning to check it out..but haven't yet.
Also, you know Monducatis? They opened another one called Monducati Rustica...on Vernone and 47th Ave..it's like Pizzas and Paninis and real gelato...yummy!!

Re: Astoria/LIC lovers!
i think i went to manettas during the astoria black out for days. Obviously to do anything ppl had to leave their houses for dinner hahaha. And even in astoria every restaurant was closed and LIC was the closest part that was ok and had lights lol
