anyone watching the NYC marathon in queens?

do you know what street they run down? my friend will kill me if i don't come watch her. i was thinking of doing breakfast/brunch in astoria then hopping over to LIC to see them. But I have no idea where they run and there is NOTHING on the website - it s*cks

on the same note, anyone have a good breakfast/brunch place in LIC or astoria? TIA

i like 718 for brunch in astoria...but what type of food are you looking for?

---

A lot of people rave about this place... how is it for dinner?

I have a guide on where to watch the marathon at home. I will check it out when i get home and let you know the streets in Queens.

---

thanks that would seriously be awesome. my co-worker is running and one of my friends and none of us can find a street by street guide. it's ridiculous! FM me if you find it. Thanks!!

it really doesn't matter that much - i like breakfast food, FH likes lunch so if it has both that's perfect. where is 718? I'll either take the R to steinway and walk or switch at Queens plaza. Not sure yet.

---

its on 35th street and ditmars...its a french, spaniard fusion place...its better off if you take N bc its a few blocks away from the ditmars stop.

Here is their site so you can see the menu

---

yeah its directly on ditmars...do you know where the sushi place Watawa is? its right by it, but if you take the N to ditmars just go to the corner to ditmars make a right and it will be 3 blocks down on your left hand side.

I also love 718 bc they use truffles and truffle foam for some of their meals and gotta love that

---

yeah i loved it! FH got mad at me b/c i told him to pick a place for dinner in astoria one friday. so we were supposed to meet at some mex place right by the ditmars stop. i get off the train first and walk around and don't love the look of the mexican place then see l'incontro and am like b/c i've been dying to try it forever so i put our name down. FH gets off the train and is like 'i am NEVER picking a place again - you always do this!'

he's totally right, but I read zagat, he doesn't plus there is like no good italian in my neighborhood.

i want to take my parents there for their anniversary but they've been already. the food was awesome though.
