Try lety’s for great baked goods and nice coffee.
The owner was 20 years at venieros. The staff is very friendly.

I love Queens for obvious food-related reasons, but with the exception of Astoria/LIC, there isn’t much of a bar scene. I mean, Woodside has Irish pubs the borough isn’t exactly known for its hipness (which is fine).

Who knew there were such clothing bargains in Jackson Heights? And faux snakeskin, no less.

If you move here, I will visit you a lot even though we live light years away from Jackson Heights now. I miss being a few stops away. Who needs bars/nightlife at the doorstep anyway? A great Indian buffet, or Tibetan yak– now we’re talking.

The Indian part of town is on 74th St. It’s definitely a trip. And that part of Roosevelt suddenly becomes very Asian – Korean, Nepalese, Thai and Filipino eateries and businesses are represented!

But you’re right. This is predominantly a family place. If I want to hang out in a bar I go to Astoria or to Manhattan – but it’s just 15 minutes away on the E train.

The bar scene isn’t great, but there are several English speaking bars here… Legends (featuring fantastic Ranger bbq), Ready Penny, Novo, and Jardi.
