I'm not sure where they were going with that name but it's certainly as funky as their decor! You just need to see it to fully appreciate it. Too bad the decor is all they have going for them.My husband and I stopped in at their grand opening and ordered two burritos: Green Go, which is salsa verde with chicken breast, and Chili Con Carne, which is ground beef and chili ($6 each). Both were filled with too much rice, dry, and just not tasty. Looking back, they were made on the spot and tossed directly into a microwave, so we should have had a clue of what to expect.We also got the tortilla soup and flan for sides. The soup was much better than the burritos, with shreds of chicken breast, tortilla chips, tomatoes, and a big dollop of sour cream on top, which eventually melted and gave the soup a creamy texture. Not healthy, mind you, but pretty good! The flan was passable- it was less custardy than I expected. My advice is to definitely order the tortilla soup but pass on the burritos, unless you REALLY want to try something intriguing burrito like the "I'm a Dunkey" (soy burrito).

I looove IHOP! You can't beat the Rooti Tooti Fresh N' Fruity. The griddle cakes are exceptionally fluffy and lite. This is about the only place I can go and eat everything on my plate. The only thing is their meat is all pork. I wish they had a substitute for the pork but other than that....I love this place =)~
Pros: affordable, plenty variety, finger lickin good!
Cons: you're stuffed!, only pork, really cold inside

Two of my good Indian friends brought me here to buy a sari for a wedding. I quickly got distracted by the lovely necklace and earring sets. Sari's range from $15 utilitarian swaths of china silk to beautiful custom embroidered outfits by the local tailor.
There are a ton of sari shops in this neighborhood, but this one is pretty thorough and big. Good prices too.
If you are not from the neighborhood, come on out to Queens, visit the Jackson Diner, and buy your saris here....

This place beats Jackson Diner hands down - everybody got on that bandwagon way too quickly and in my opinion, without merit. Indian Taj has the best buffet - food is always fresh and delicious. I have yet to have a bad dining experience there. Not to mention that the price and selection is unbeatable. Service is a little lacking - but you can get over that pretty quickly. If you are looking for inexpensive delicious Indian food - definitely give this place a try. Also, if the Palaak Paneer is not part of the buffet - order a small portion - it's worth it!
Pros: Great food, inexpensive
Cons: Service isn't great.

This is just what Jackson Heights needs! Inner Peace is a lovely gift shop right on the 37th Ave shopping strip, so its easy to stop in just to browse (although sadly I think theyre closed on Sundays). I have bought several gifts for people there, usually very nice scented candles, but they do sell other things also, such as nice pottery/plates, etc. They tend to have an ethnic twist on the things they sell.
PROS: Nice gifts
CONS: Not open on Sundays

I always judge a good peruvian restaurant based on the dish 'aji de gallina', if they serve it, and this one definitly passes the test! They also have some other great typical dishes such as 'tacu tacu' and 'causas'. They also have some of the best 'tostones' I have ever eaten, even though they're not typically peruvian. Also try their 'Sangria', it's also really well done.
