Carla 25-03 40th Ave, Long Island City American • $$

“I was first introduced to Carla's two years ago and I have been dreaming of both their Hibiscus Margaritas and Grilled Corn Romaine Salad ever since. YES A SALAD!

Happy to say I finally had the opportunity to return for an intimate birthday celebration and everything was just how I remembered it.

Cute and quaint, with good service and food, a great vibe!

Without a doubt I absolutely ordered the roasted corn salad. It has tomatoes, avocado, roasted corn, Romain lettuce, and an amazing dressing. I added the pan seared chicken. The chicken was super flavorful and juicy, and extremely tender, not overdone. The salad was magical just as I remembered it. In addition the guac was fresh and the Hibiscus Margs was a tasty way to wash it all down.

It's amazing how I dream about this salad. It's a good thing I don't live close because I would have no problem factoring in this salad which is a little pricey into an almost daily budget. Lol.

Needless to say I will not be reminiscing about this salad for two years again. I will be back sooner than you think.

A special thanks to our server, whom was a one man show the whole night.

Just A Note:

Parking can be a bit of a challenge and Carla's is tiny but mighty and absolutely worth it!”

They serve super innovative and creative cocktails that pushed the boundaries of textures and flavors. We love the presentation in the atmosphere upon entering the establishment. But the service and the drinks were what blew us away. The music was also very interesting and some tracks were even nostalgic. If you have some time, please stop by and support this speakeasy cocktail bar. The prices are a little bit more on the expensive side as you will be paying about $19-$20 per drink, but for the complexity taste and ambience. It is well worth it.”

“My husband and I had the most unforgettable experience at Cannelle Patisserie on Sunday, February 1. We brought in the gender results for our future baby, and from the moment we walked in, the staff treated our little secret with so much warmth, excitement, and genuine joy.

They were thrilled to be part of our surprise and went completely above and beyond—creating the yummiest box of pastries in the color of our baby’s gender for us to open later at home. They even included the sweetest handwritten note and, to our absolute delight, a precious little pink cake. (It was a girl! 💕)

The kindness, enthusiasm, and care they showed us turned a simple bakery visit into a once-in-a-lifetime memory. We will truly never forget how special they made us feel, or how magical and delicious our gender reveal was because of them.

The Infamous 22-01 Jackson Ave, Long Island City Bar • $$

“Ambiance: Dimly lit, comfortable couches/cushions

Music: Early 2000’s to latest hip hop/rap music

Drinks: If you like sweet cocktails, “Crush on you” and “Make it clap”. If you prefer Smokey cocktails “Ms. Fat Booty”. If you prefer more bourbon, “Rebirth of Slick”.

Music isn’t too loud, a good balance of hip, loudness, and casual.

They have variety of drinks like wine, beer, and cocktails. Something for everyone.

Staff are friendly, and you can comfortably chat with locals.

It would be local 5/5 place for me if they had some small bites along with the drinks. Maybe some fries, fried peanuts, small bite tacos/tater tots.”

“We returned on a visit to McLoughlins 38 years after it was the initial beacon on my arrival in the USA. From there I linked up with my friends , got a contact for a job , heard about accommodation going for rent and bumped into old friends. It created a network and a safety net for a whole generation of Irish immigrants. John is carrying on the traditional welcome provided by his father and uncle. He could not have been more helpful or kind as well as having that natural gift of the gab good barmen possess. Drinks were also fine”

We got a welcome eggnog, brilliantly cooked 3 course price fix menu, great service. There were some hiccups (soup came out crazy fast, while the drinks took the normal time. A little odd) loved that they had a kobe steak as arn option, very moist turkey too. Pumpkin creme bruleee was tasty-not too "pumpkiny". They even have us a free champagne with dessert.

Spot Dessert Bar 28-43 Jackson Ave, Long Island City Dessert • $

“I’ve known Spot for over 10 years, since their very first location on St. Marks. Over the years, they’ve expanded to more locations, including LIC and Flushing. Since the LIC location is close to where I live, I was genuinely excited when they opened in this area.

Their Green Tea Lava and Golden Toast have been amazing since day one and remain consistently great even now. Back then, the dessert was called Green Tea Lava Cake. It seems they later renamed it to Matcha Lava, likely to give it a more premium feel.

This time, I also tried one of their newer desserts an ube-based dish. It was okay and didn’t particularly stand out, but I do appreciate that they continue to update their menu seasonally and introduce new items.

Overall, it’s great to see the brand evolving while maintaining the quality of the classics that made it popular in the first place.”

“I came in about 1.5 hours ago and the guy working was SO NICE!!!! I really appreciated his service and kindness.
As for the chicken, I agree with other reviews that they BARELY put the sauce on the chicken. I ate predominately dry, semi crunchy chicken wings. I ordered the soy garlic but barely got any sauce.
The pickled radish had a funky taste :(

If there had been a decent amount of sauce, I would have enjoyed a bit more.

I really prefer BB.Q Chicken for Korean fried chicken and their radishes are better.”
