The Queensboro

"The Queensboro doesn’t have a motto, but if it did, it would be something like: “Salad and chicken? We’ve got that.” This Jackson Heights spot serves pizza, pasta, and vegetable sides, as well as some entrees like steak and a burger. Thrilling? Not so much. Useful? Very. As an added bonus, the big space has potted plants and leather booths. Try this spot for brunch, when there will most likely be a ton of babies running around, so no one will hear you and your family fighting over the dessert order." - bryan kim, neha talreja, hannah albertine, carlo mantuano
