FORWARD AND ONWARD TO MORE PIZZA! #alwayspizza Another #queenseatspizzalist adventure inspired by last night’s post, was in Astoria and figured it was finally time to try #Rosarios for their pizza and sandwiches. This is the very well known #margarita slice, talked about quite a bit in pizza foodie circles, from #Rosarios in #Astoria #queensny #nyc and it lived up to the hype, sauce on the sweeter side, beautiful crust, but that mozzarella steals the show. It’s so delicious with the perfect bit of saltiness. Loved this so much, was the first time but won’t be the last. #queenseats #queenseatsmust #queenseatspizzalist (at Rosario's) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqtK9hZHNC9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1y1uixfype2jo

Seriously a Sicilian for dayssss you guys. Onto another #queenseatspizzalist adventure, found myself in Glendale midday a few weeks back and had to try #GracePizza after much encouragement from some of you lovely people. This is a truly unusual upside down Sicilian in my mind, super long (ridiculously long) with the profile of a grandma slice from #GracePizza in #Glendale #queensny #nyc and it was a decent Sicilian, loved the crispness of the crust- they have a super hot oven- I was a bigger fan though of their ricotta and vodka slice though. Decor and banter with staff made for a super memorable visit. #queenseats #queenseatspizzalist (at Grace Pizza Inc) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqqnl-0HCho/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16090yow08wu3

Turning all the grills on with this bbq 🐷Needed a break for all the holiday heaviness, so obviously a long walk followed by #thaifood 🙌 This is the bbq pork jowl from @khaonomnyc in #elmhurst #queensny #nyc and not only was the pork amazing and had crispy delicious skin but the sauce lives up to all the @khaokangnyc heat- full of chilis, super hot and I loved every bit of the burn! #queenseats #queenseatsmust #khaonom (at KHAO NOM) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqn_LaenpWd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4hsc29g6ocr6

Hope everyone’s #thanksgiving was STACKED 🥪 This year’s post thanksgiving sandwich was a real doozy (with a bit of structural integrity issues due to an uneven layer of Brie) with serious flavor!!! Layers included (from bottom): cheddar cheese, turkey and gravy, cornbread pudding, broccolini au gratin, fried egg, Brie cheese, sausage stuffing, and cranberry sauce all on a pretzel bun. It’s only once a year so we gotta go all out and prepare to walk all day tomorrow for #smallbusinesssaturday at the #astoriaretailcrawl with @shopsmallastoria! #queenseats #thanksgiving #thanksgivingleftoversandwich #postthanksgivingsandwich (at Woodside, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqixrgZnmNG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dt8aeym9kzuo

👑‘Cause they don’t call him the king for nothing! These are the #falafel 🥙 from @kingoffalafel truck on #Ditmars in #Astoria #queensny #nyc and I love their falafel, I really enjoy the crunch and bit of kick, sometimes people depend too much on the sauce leaving the falafel itself a bit dry and flavorless but definitely not here! I also love that on cold nights, the fellow in the truck throws you a warm falafel while you settle on an order. A couple of these along with shawarma will set anyone right 🙌 #queenseats #queenseatsmust #kingoffalafel (at King Of Falafel & Shawarma Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqbHm1nH58t/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v0n24f3tjxgf

When you osso bu-score a great evening 🤤🤤🤤 This is the Osso Bucco with faro and roasted Brussels sprou, the third dish in the $53 chefs tasting at @casadelchef in #Woodside #queensny #nyc and it’s been a favorite special occasion spot of ours since they opened in 2014, and luckily last night we had a perfect excuse to revisit for our friend @bennythekauftheman birthday! It’s no surprise that @casadelchef has a #michelinbibgourmand, their food and service is always a knock out and full of local and seasonal treats and their wine pairings and cocktails are wonderful as well! If you haven’t been yet, I couldn’t recommend it more, it’s a real gem among all the gems we have in Queens 👍 #QueensEats #queenseatsmust #casadelchef (at Casa Del Chef Bistro) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqV_VypnXV0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=o20b6gku6821

The most perfect anytime snack 🥟🥟🥟 These are the pork and leek fried #dumplings from #laobeifangdumplinghouse in #elmhurst #queensny #nyc and even though the waits have been terrible lately and I don’t know why, these are ALWAYS WORTH IT. #queenseats #queenseatsmust #laobeifang (at Lao Bei Fang Dumpling & Hand-D) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqTUv5JnMaz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qtkdyyian0vh

Enough flavor for the broth of us🍜🍥 Nothing like hot, hot soup on a snowy day! This is the #spicymiso #ramen with #tochucha #noodles that are made tea leaves from @nipponcha in #bayside #queensny #nyc and it had a nice flavor, jammed pack full of noodles and toppings-they don’t skimp, and those tea noodles were perfectly chewy 😍 Will be back for another bowl! #queenseats #nipponcha (at Nippon Cha.

It may be getting bigger, but it's okay when you stick together. ❤️ Hold tight to your ties. My strongest one is looking on at the sheer volume, and I got his back. #itsinqueens #SeeYourCity #longislandcity #lic #queenscapes #qnsmade #qnskids #queenseats (at Court Square, Long Island City) https://www.instagram.com/p/9OPHPHF99A/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f3rbiq350rdc

The spice ain’t shrimpy so don’t be shellfish 🦐 This is the #PrawnBalchao from #CardamomIndianCuisine in #Sunnyside #queensny #nyc and I measure all spiciness levels in @khaokangnyc terms, this was just under some of the spiciest dishes I’ve ever had Khao Kang, meaning this was pretty freaking spicy, newbies beware. At first taste, you get a nice heat, tang, and warmth with really plump shrimp, a few bites in, total fire, finish it with some of rice or naan, you’ll be fine. Loved trying #goan / Indo-Portuguese food for the first time, totally live up to the hype that is surrounding this newcomer. Definitely one of the best Indian options west of Jackson Heights and our new go to for Indian delivery. #queenseats #queenseatsmust (at Cardamom Indian Cuisine) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqGmRv2np88/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gia8an04jnr7

Every time we torch, I get this feeling 😍🤤 Guys, I drooled when I saw this posted up online and knew I had to have it today. This is the #applebutter filled brioche #donut topped with torched white #cheddarcheese from @blacklabeldonuts who had Sunday residency at @nipponcha in #bayside #queensny #nyc and it was a perfect #doughnut for me, sweet on the inside, salty on the outside with the softest, pillowy brioche surrounding it 😱 Rich, the guy behind @blacklabeldonuts, is honestly the nicest guy and one of the most creative makers out of Queens right now, plus he makes my favorite yeast donuts in the borough, and I would love to see the community come out and support him. He was viciously attacked and shot earlier this year near his home in an attempted burglary and he is currently funding his recovery while continuing on making his amazing donuts, he will be starting a gofundme soon to help off set the cost of his treatment. Whether you’d like to donate or head over to @nipponcha one Sunday to buy some of his product, I know he’d love to see some old and new faces 👍 Heads up, go early and if you are there to eat ramen too, get donuts FIRST, he sells out so fast!!! #queenseats #queenseatsmust #blacklabeldonuts #nipponcha (at Nippon Cha.

When you are the pun-king, everything is a piece of cake 👍 This is the #kabocha #pumpkin #cupcake with #creamcheese buttercream from @silkcakes in #foresthills #queensny #nyc and after a beautiful walk through the falling leaves of #forest park, I am all about a little decadence 😍 I love #SilkCakes because their desserts aren’t overly sweet and the Asian flavors that inspired their treats really come through 🍰 #queenseats #queenseatsmust (at Silk Cakes) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqBVemunGEB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2lznqncc3acc

When your outer beauty is rivaled only by your inner deliciousness 🥟 Working so close to my favorite empanadas has become very dangerous for my breakfast routine and waistline. This is the #ham and #cheese mini #empanada from @iloveparaguayrestaurant in #SunnysideNY #QueensNY #NYC and if you haven’t tried #Paraguayan food yet, now is literally the perfect time, it’s hearty and warming and the soups are also to die for 😍😍😍😍 #queenseats #queenseatsmust #iloveparaguay (at I Love Paraguay Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp8OVF_nrkg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wxclhlm3ekts

On top of my pesto, all covered in cheese, there sat some delicious chicken until this dish met me! Ever since I started working in the hospital again we’ve been trying to make it out for a one on one date night each week or so. Last weekend was a favorite of mine, not only because of the delicious food but because the family that owns the spot is so kind and wonderfully warm! This is the #trofiealpesto topped with grilled chicken from @solelunanyc in #Sunnyside #queensny #nyc and the home made #pasta here is seriously my weakness, that and the wine. Much wine. #queenseats #queenseatsmust #soleluna (at SoleLuna Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp5oo4iH31i/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jdrxicwpvb5x

T’was the night before the election and all through the country, not a thing was certain but we were all nervous glugging 😬 FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND INCLUSIVE AND DIVERSE, GET OUT AND VOTE TOMORROW. Then head out and shop at many of the shops in Astoria offering discounts to voters (see @astoriavotes) and then to your local favorite watering hole like @dutchkillsbar in #longislandcity #queensny #nyc to watch results roll in 🤞 Idk about you but I’m hoping for a better day 🙌 #queenseats #rockthevote (at Dutch Kills, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp0fcDgntuR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19cq6erjuax8y

When your diet says no carbs, but this is carbonara, so.... This is the #bucatini #carbonara from @themeatupgrill at Bay 9 at @riisbazaar #riispark #queensny #nyc this winter season and besides being a great space with awesome food and drinks, you get to enjoy a beautiful beach in the winter just a few yards outside of their windows. It was absolutely gorgeous! We will definitely be back 👍 #queenseats #themeatupgrill #riisbazaar (at Riis Park Beach Bazaar) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpx6D0gn58M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uro0a5elg8i0

Always down to take a stab at a good time 👍👍👍 This is the #thai sidewalk style #grilledpork from @thailandscenterpoint in #Woodside #queensny #nyc and it’s a blessing to have this #BYOB spot in our neighborhood as it’s some of the finest Thai food in the borough- creative, more modern take on lots of great street food and beyond. This has the texture of jerky and that sauce combined with sticky rice is HEAVEN 👍 #queenseats #queenseatsmust #thailandcenterpoint (at Thailand's Center Point) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpvRFlsnPLx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f11c1dqljwi
