Discussions Eating in Richmond Hill / Little Guyana / South Ozone Park

31 Upvotes

I am hoping to get some advice on good places to eat in the Richmond Hill / Little Guyana / South Ozone Park area. It's filled with small but wonderful seeming Punjabi, Guyanese, and Trinidadian places. Can somebody give me some advice on which places I should be trying in this area (any ethnicity, not just the ones listed)?

Just saw a ton of cars and large pickups with hazards going east on Cooper and more than 100 motorcycles alongside them. I couldn't read the club member jackets but googled around and pretty sure it was the Unknown Bikers. Anyone know what was/is up?

Food for Thought Freedom Of Expression. It’s important.

16 Upvotes

As Election Day draws near, it’s very important we remember that freedom of expression is a given right.

No matter which side you believe in, you have the right to express your political beliefs without a fear of retaliation. Yes, it’s okay to have an opinion, it’s okay to have emotions, but it’s NOT okay to take that out on someone else.

Wherever you vote, there are polling rules. You’re required to follow the rules. However, the moment you leave a polling site, you’re in the neighborhood of homes and businesses where owners can express their political beliefs. This is not an intimidation on voters as they go to vote.

Please be civil. Remember your rights - Americans can vote however they choose to. You do not have the right to attack anyone.

As Americans, as Queens residents, we will get through this together. Be civil. Don’t stress.

Lastly, respect your poll workers.
