Just for any intrepid travellers to Queens… There is no “under the 7″ in Flushing… Being under the 7 would put you about 40 feet underground. She is probably thinking of the LIRR which is an overhead train at that point.

I went to Cafe Duke today for their Short Rib Stew Tuesday Special. Specials are now $8.95! Along with some other regular items on their menu.

Glad you liked Alfanoose. The schwarma is excellent! I am partial to the chicken, but my boyfriend prefers the lamb. Sides to try if you haven’t yet: lentil rice, vegetarian musaka and hummus.

Tam,
I’m shocked that Doyers got you sick, when I lived downtown, we ordered from them a lot and never had an issue……but live and learn…..there is Lilly’s noodle shops (near the Embassy Suites, and NYSC), but they are only good for typical chinese cuisine…..check out Pac Rim for decent Sushi, and there is an authentic sichaun (sp?)resturant on the south side of the WFC on South End Ave. (I forget it’s name but it is next to Wave) right off of Albany St. that has excellent food….

Lara: Alfanoose is solid. Their Kofta Kabobs were kinda dry, but their sides were excellent. Tried to visit them yesterday to sample the Lamb Schwarma, but rumor has it that they’re closed for renovations. Sighs!

Lacey: Darling, we meet again, and this time under much better circumstances ;) …

Rudy: Those kind of lunch debates are indeed the most delicious!

Beancounter: I’ve had Doyers the first weekend I moved here and faced off the worst bout of food-sick ever. I’m too scurrrrred to go back.

Yvo: Yes yes yes! Let’s!

Check out Doyers for excellent Vietnamese, just remember to have it delivered there is little to no seating, and during lunch the court crowd can take over the restaurant. Also being in the WFC means that you can walk to Chinatown for your noodle fix.

Do you Guys ever meet for lunch? It would be a great if you did.

Imagine the arguements where to go!
