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!”

Even though it's part of a busy Food Bazaar food court, they always keep it clean and they're always super friendly (especially to our kids). There are 2 small tables inside, 4 small ones outside in the food court, and about 10 shared picnic style tables (that seat 4-8 people each). The free underground parking on a hot day is a huge bonus!”

“Unbelievably good Italian food! Only thing I’m upset about is the fact I’ve wanted to eat here for 3 years and never actually went inside to eat! This place is a hidden gem. This is real quality Italian food, cooked and served by the same family since the 70s. The hosts, waiters and staff truly care about your dining experience and it really shows. Everything and I mean everything we ate was top notch. I got the carbonara my wife got the chicken parmigiana. I loved mine! Huge portions, quality ingredients. You can just taste everything in your food. The calamari was delicious, nice big calamari with a light breading and the marinara sauce is a real homemade sauce. You will not regret eating here I promise you that! They have a huge wine list and are very knowledgeable and willing to help you make a selection. I love the old school ambiance and the fireplaces are a beautiful touch! Prices are very reasonable! Actually kinda cheap compared to many other restaurants down here. I can’t wait to go back!”

Cannelle Patisserie 5-11 47th Ave, Long Island City Bakery • $

“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.”

“Very nice staff inside, drinks were good. I am down for a pat down and appreciate safety, but I arrived at at 8pm and during the very lengthy and thorough pat down the bouncer kept asking if I'd been bar hopping and that if I'm intoxicated I can't go in...which also fair, but I'm in my forties, it was 8pm, and I was entirely sober. Respect taking a job serious, but I felt oddly unwelcome and it set a tone for us that the kind inside staff didn't quite undo. I would be hesitant to bring a guest here again.”

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.

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.”

Overflow Coffee 46-36 Vernon Blvd, Long Island City Coffee Shops • $

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Overflow Coffee is easily one of the best coffee spots in New York. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place was built with intention—everything from the warm, inviting atmosphere to the attention to detail in the drinks and food makes it stand out.

The space itself is beautiful with tons of natural light through the windows, clean design, and just the right balance between cozy and modern. It’s the kind of place you can spend hours in, whether you’re catching up with a friend or getting work done. The environment is calm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed.

The coffee is top-tier. Smooth, well-balanced, and clearly crafted with care. Their lattes are especially good. So creamy, rich, and consistently excellent. Pair that with their fresh pastries, and you’ve got a perfect combination.

What really makes Overflow special though is the heart behind it. The staff is genuinely kind, the vibe is uplifting, and it feels like more than just a coffee shop. It feels like a place that brings people together.

If you’re in NYC, this is 100% worth a visit. Whether you’re a coffee lover, need a great place to work, or just want a space that feels good to be in—Overflow delivers.”

“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.”

Great for a smaller more intimate date night.

The only thing that took away from the dining experience was that the restaurant was in, what seemed like a newer building and as a result, it felt like a bit of a ghost town and the bathrooms were unfinished and across the hall from the restaurant.

Aside from that, great food, VERY fresh fish and a good overall experience.”
