My overall experience was amazing. The place is a wide area and the you can get a great intimate feeling from the venue. You are literally squeezed into the place and sitting right next to the person from the next table. Nevertheless, the quality of the comedians are amazing. We saw Colin Quinn, Modi, and a few others. Modi is hilarious. There are a lot of jokes about immigrants and sexual activities so be aware. The host was also very funny though too. They have great audience interaction. There are about 5 acts and the show is about 1.5hr. The drinks aren't expensive and you can get a free pass so you don't have to pay cover as long as you go to their website and make a reservation ahead of time. There's a suggested tip they calculate for you and helps you not deal with the math. The crowd was great that night. It's mainly composed of college students and a few out of towners. They can have 2,3, or 4 shows a day depending on the day.

There are various branches of Trade Fair in Astoria and around Queens. It's not like a Keyfood which charges slightly higher prices. It has great deals and specials on certain products which you should definitely then stock up on. The deals circulate from week to week though and you'll probably see the same specials in another 2 weeks if you miss it the first time around. It offers fresh produce and also has a bakery and deli. They have ethnic foods, such as Middle Eastern and Spanish foods and cooking essentials. The food is fresh and you can trust it. It's conveniently located. It is right off the 30th Avenue stop on the N,W line. Another great thing is that it's open 24 hours so you can grocery shop whenever.

This shuttle service is very efficient and reliable for travel between Vancouver airport and Seattle airport and various stops in between. Mainly I use it to travel between the two airports since it makes a huge difference to fly from a US state to Vancouver compared to a US state to Seattle. The extra 4 hour drive is worth the savings in money. The ride is very comfortable and usually not a packed bus. The bus drivers have all been very considerate and helps you with your luggage. As you cross the border you need to take your luggage through customs yourself but it's not hassle. The other stops include downtown Seattle, hotels, and various downtown Vancouver hotels too. The prices are reasonable and there are discounts for students and seniors. Everything runs according to schedule. No delays. Check the website out for more information. Very easy to navigate.

The Amish Market is a great place to do some grocery shopping as well as get some quick foods. It has fresh fruit and produce and you can get the normal grocery type products like crackers, cookies, dairy products, etc. Everything is good quality and the prices are reasonable for the quality. They also have a great bakery and offers fresh bread. They have prepared foods to choose from as well for those getting lunch. They offer made to order brick oven pizzas and sandwiches. Also, they have a fresh made to order salad bar as well with the usual salad base with any number of additional toppings. The toppings vary by price and not the number of items so just be careful if you're looking for a cheaper salad.

You may not know where they stop cuz they do make random stops at times and you may not understand most of them BUT the major appeal is the efficiency and speed and cheap cost. Chinatown is busy enough and the area where all the Chinatown buses converge is very busy too and you'll see a lot of Chinese women holding signs and hassling you to take their coach. It's a little hectic but it's definitely worth it. You have many options and you can take your pick. I've had experience with DragonCoach and Century2000 I believe it's called. Both were great experiences. I have used the Chinatown buses to go to DC, Philly, and Boston. All the times have been great. Got there in good time though during Thanksgiving it was really crazy and I'd suggest getting there much earlier during the holidays. Usually I would say a 1/2hour is a good amount of time to get there early so you're guaranteed a seat and your pick of where to sit. Most of the time it's a full bus.

Granted that Century 21 does offer exceptional deals on name brands, it is chaotic and oftentimes not worth the sifting through and headache that comes with going there. They have an extensive collection of handbags and shoes. They have a wide variety of styles that range from sporty to chic. For their clothing, it's hard to find the right size if you're a petite person. There are usually a lot of people there and the crowds can get suffocating. You can't try clothes on outside of the changing rooms even to just slip something on top which is a problem if the lineups at the fitting rooms are long. It's easy to get there since it's right across from the subway station. Their jewelry is quite lackluster and I do not recommend shopping there for that.

This twofloor lounge will surely delight the Indian crowd and those enjoying hiphop and Top 40s music. The crowd is mostly in the mid to late 20s on a Saturday night. Girls on the guest list get in free before midnight and guys on the list before 11pm. Great music, great crowd. There are couches along the wall and a small area in front of the bar to dance. The upper floor when I went was roped off for VIPs. Not sure if it is on any other day. You don't have to dress too well but no sneakers or shorts. Drinks are reasonably priced and well-mixed. I didn't try the food but it's reputed to be quite good.

This is the place to go for a quiet meal with close friends or a special someone or even alone. With two locations in Queens, GoWasabi caters to the locals and exudes a friendly, comfortable feel. Meals are reasonably priced with rolls at an average $6 and there are creative sushi rolls to taste. As a vegetarian, they do have a variety of options. My favorite was the shitake mushroom roll. It had a sweet sauce and the ingredients were very fresh. The decor is subtle and serene. The waiters are pleasant and eager to please. They have live music there most of the time which adds a unique touch to the restaurant.

The deli has everything that you would need, crave, or want for a quick bite to go. It even has a few tables for those wanting to sit down. It's fairly big and clean. Not grungy like many other delis. It's got 3 cashiers so there's no long lineups to deal with during the rush. They have great deals on sandwiches and salads. They offer sushi, hot items and salad bar by the pound, made fresh salads, bakery items, chips, sodas, etc. The salads are a great deal because every item is the same price. you pick the base, size, and however many items you want. You even get a free soda or water with salads priced minimum $5.50. They have a wide selection of sandwiches at generous portions. They have healthy items as well. You can be as picky as you want. The people are very nice and efficient.
