Bonfire Grill

I’ll be completely honest with you.  This isn’t a real post nor a real review.  It’s just pictures of what my friends and I ate one Saturday morning before they all went to the driving range and I headed off to the batting cages.  I ate at Bonfire and reviewed it (click here), so when they requested a brunch place in the area, this is what sprang to mind for a girly brunch.  I feel like I haven’t seen my friends in ages – which is probably true since I’ve been travelling and then studying my butt off – so [...]

Chikurin

BlindBaker and I decided to go shopping before a dinner engagement we had, but needed to grab something to eat – fuel for shopping, you see?! – beforehand, so we headed over to Chikurin on 64th Avenue.  I remember going here when it first opened; I think it was even the first of the locations because I see now on their website that there are, holy crap, 9 locations.  Damn.  That’s a lot.  In any case, this location is right next to the subway station that I used growing up, and somewhat close to my mom’s house.  So I [...]

Sajni 026

A friend of mine recently came into Queens to handle some bid’ness, and asked me for some cheap lunch options in my area.  My mind immediately turned to Sajni 026, for its super cheap lunch buffet – $5.99/person! The first plate – clearly not mine, as it contains a lot of green sauce.  The usual suspects were present.  The chicken tandoori was juicier this time, not as dry as the last time I’d had it, and very good.  I enjoyed the saag paneer, though mostly without the paneer I also really liked the chicken pieces in the [...]

Saigon Asian Cuisine

On one of the last days of classes and finals before I left for Peru, I was chatting with the BlindBaker and discovered she was about to have lunch nearby our school.  Hey, I like lunch! so I hopped on over to grab a bite with her.  She’d already ordered summer rolls by the time I got there – I’d told her I’d be a few minutes and feel free to start eating before I got there – so I happily found food waiting for me when I sat down.  The peanut sauce was overly thick, and we [...]

Ben’s Best Kosher Deli

Ben’s Best and I have an odd relationship.  Since I moved back to Forest Hills, I’ve eaten their food three times – twice in one month about 2 years ago, and then I got so mad, but not at them, that I gave up firmly for the past two years.  I finally decided to give it another go right before I left for Peru, but am going to include all of the pictures.  The first time I walked in was on a rainy day after work.  I was tired and hungry, but I got off the bus one stop early, [...]
