Nuevo Jardin de China- We call it our Cuban Chinese place. They have this steak and onions thats so amazing and this shrimp in garlic sauce thats my FAVE! Its one block up from Tierras Colombiana on Broadway (One of my other faves)

Watawa! AMAZING
Taverna Kyclades
Steinway Street
Kaufman Theaters
Rizzo's Pizza
Forno Italia-they have these amazing personal pies
Porto Bello-Excellent chicken parmesan
Jackson Hole
The Gyro Lady on 33rd and Ditmars

Waterfront Crabhouse has got to be the best hidden treasure in Queens. I ADORE this place.

Yes, Nuevo Jardin de china is great! Did you ever try Caravan chicken on Broadway? It's Peruvian Chinese, really good too!
Is Rizzo's pizza good? they've been around for years I heard!

Re: Astoria/LIC lovers!

All you girls make me want to cry I miss LIC. I was practically born and raised there. My parents decided to move when I turned 16. I miss it so much. It's crazy how many restaurants are opening and how many gorgeous buildings are being built. If I was my age when they built those buildings I would have bought myself an apt. I checked it out being 16 just to see and they were going for $250k and up and now they are well over 600k People that used to live in the city are moving to LIC...I don't blame them.

I love
Water Edge by Vernon
They opened a new Sushi place in Hoyt Ave called SHI, I don't eat Sushi but the decor is gorgeous....I might take DH there for his bday instead of going into the city, the way I see it sooner or later LIC will be our little city in queens

Rizzo's pizza is AWESOME. There was a list that came out for best pizzas in NY and Rizzo's won for the best neopolitan pizza, and won it a couple of times
Awww i love porto bello-joe used to deliver for them when he was in college, i remember always ordering from there and he'd deliver to me hahahaha.

it is crazy how much LIC has changed. DH's parents grew up there, his mom was born and raised in LIC, his dad moved there when he was 10. They always say how they cant believe what the neighborhood looks like now. If they only knew back then they would've bought something there but when they got married they bought a house in astoria. Even just a few years ago i remember how different it was. I used to go to court square to hang out with some ppl i knew and now when you go its like you dont even recognize some areas

Re: Astoria/LIC lovers!

Have you guys ever been to that deli (its under the train and I forget the name) where they make the bestest and hugest sandwiches. They are delicious!!!

sal and charlies, im guessing youre talking about this one bc this deli is very popular and known in astoria and everybody says its the best sandwiches. Its 33rd right, not 31st RIGHT underneath the train. But its by the amtrak or whatever track that is

Re: Astoria/LIC lovers!

Taverna is excellent. I remember sitting next to a very nice couple once and the guy told us they come once a week from Manhattan to eat there!! Lemon potatoes are to die for. I could live off those potatoes.

Denise, Nuevo Jardin looks like it would be a regular chinese place but its not. The food is excellent. If you guys go there, the most popular dish is the steak & onions. Its scrumptious.

Thats so funny about Porto Bello!! Chris and I have been addicted to their chicken parmesan for years. We love their sauce. Its soooooo tasty. Joe was your sexy delivery boy. If Chris had that job I would have been ordering A LOT of Porto Bello

Yes! That's the one. DH will go to the gym and after a long workout eat one of those by himself!!! Hello whats the point of working out when you're going to eat a full 'Bomb'.

PS- I am starving looking at all of these food places.

ahhh ok that explains why i havent gone to nuevo jardin, i dont like chinese food so probably thought thats all it was.

Yeah we go to portobello all the time, ilove their fried calamari too. I also love their chicken pizza. HAHAHA yeah, but i knew who he was before he ever delivered to me and i remember one time i ordered and then saw it was him, i looked like such a mess and i was like W** thats the guy i see in the clubs and i look like this but also all the other guys at porto bello's are cool, dh is friends with them so its a nice laid back place to go eat.

its so funny bc one thing they dont do is melt cheese, and one guy i know will always yell at anyone who says its the best place and say 'how is it the best place if they dont melt cheese' lol but we used to always get our sandwiches from there whenever we went to the beach and pack our coolers, also great adventure or anywhere we'd go to like that and bring our own lunch.

I also like bon appetite on ditmars, right by alba's. Theyhave great wraps

Oooo and for sausages you HAVE to go to joes pork store, its on 38th and ditmars. That store has been around since the 1920's or 1930's i forgot, they even have the register from back then. They make all their own sausages, all kinds too and even those italian ones that are hard and you eat cold, its the best ive ever had. Its a very small place but stayed in business all this time bc of how awesome their stuff are.

Re: Astoria/LIC lovers!

Random: Have you girls been to the NY Water Taxi Bar or restaurant? I HATED the drinks there. But I still kept on going back during the summer bc it has such a great ambiance.

yes and we had the best time, it is very fun and great ambiance. Hmmm my drinks were ok but it was bacardi and diet coke so hard to screw that one up. One thing though is that dh drinks scotch and the only kind they had was jameson, which is one of the few scotches he doesnt drink so not much of a choice there.

yes the sandwich king hahahha... They are real good though and better than other places, not sure why hahaha.

Im in the mood for those sausages now well im in the mood for so many things now after this thread

Re: Astoria/LIC lovers!

Yes!!! That's the name The Sandwich King.

I also love Gyro Mania! Besides the portions being huge the food is really good.

Re: Astoria/LIC lovers!

We used to go to this other meat place on 24th Ave, Sonny's, and get these TASTY steak sandwiches with onions and cheese a few years ago. But we had to stop going there because of a racist comment the guy said. He was actually SOOOOOOOO nice to us and it was obviously a foot in mouth moment I think. But I just couldnt go back there anymore because it was the first time racism hit close to home for me.
