Restaurants:
- There is a fabulous Italian-Istrian restaurant, Piccola Venezia 42-01 28th Avenue, (718) 721-8470, right near Astoria Blvd. Reservations are a must.
- If you want to tailgate, try the Corona Heights Pork Store, 107-04 Corona Ave, Corona (718) 592-7350. Their hot heroes (chicken parm, eggplant parm, sausage) are unbelievable.
- The Italian restaurant, La Gioconda, has sauce that leaves Italian-Americans muttering "The gravy, the gravy."
- For dim sum on steam carts, try Gum Fung 136-62 39th Ave. Flushing, NY 11354 (718) 762-8821. Dim Sum available at lunch only. The Char Shu Boa (baked pork buns) are outstanding. Huge array of excellent dishes at dinner. Mostly Hong Kong style. On weekend evenings, lots of parties with entertainment that make the main dining room really festive.
- For Shanghai style breakfast food, Peoples and People restaurant is the best. 38-02 Prince St. Flushing, NY 11354 (718) 460-8686. The breakfast food is available through mid-afternoon. The fried dumplings and steamed meat balls (actually a soupy bun with pork filling) are delicious and unlike any you have probably had. At dinner, try the Black Pepper Scallops.
- Little Lamb Family Restaurant specializes in lamb dishes and Mongolian Hot Pot. 36-35 Main Street, 718-358-6667, The boiled lamb dumpling, lamb with scallions and Salt & Pepper Shrimp are out of this world.
- For old time Chinatown food, New Lok Kee (36-50 Main St. Flushing, NY 11354 (718) 762-6048)is the way to go. Whatever Chinatown style means to you, wonton soup and roast pork or mussel casserole and snails in black bean sauce, this is the place. Many of the waiters (and their sons) came from the original Chinatown restaurant so you will feel very comfortable. New Lok Kee satisfies your cravings until 5:00 AM.
- Other great Chinese restaurants are:
- 1. Joe's Shanghai (136-21 37th Ave, Flushing) for the best steamed crab meat buns in the world.
