Restaurants & Food / Re: Best enchiladas suizas for delivery/pickup in JH/Elmhurst

« Last post by BennyB on Today at 11:37:02 AM »

I had the Enchiladas Suizas at ERT last week and I wasn't impressed. Too much sauce and the enchiladas became too soggy for my taste. I used to like City Coffee's version of the dish, but they're long gone. Still like the ERT's platanos with guac and cheese, and the salmon al pastor was tasty, but I wouldn't order the Enchiladas Suizas again.

They're pretty good at Aqui en Bella Puebla on Roosevelt and I think 84.

Never had this dish at Aqui en Bella Puebla but have had many other things. Their food is excellent!!!

I've had the falafel platter twice now, and also the hummus. All delicious. Hummus really tastes homemade and a nice but not overpowering garlic flavor. And an Instagram post from 4 days ago shows homemade labneh!

Neighborhood Chat / Re: The eyesore that is Diversity Plaza

« Last post by itsit on January 20, 2021, 10:41:32 AM »

  We tell people coming to JH to avoid the 74th st subway stop! It's been filthy for years and all the money that was spent raising the street to the curb? was a huge waste. If the community wants open space for gatherings, there are quiet streets across Roosevelt where EID prayers have been held, for example, that function much better than leaving Diversity Plaza as a open and unstructured space. It's got a population that is mostly men (90-95%) and lots of drinking and trash even though it's cleaned fairly often. The flowers are beautiful but don't seem the right match for this plaza and the level of traffic it receives. Feel sorry for people that live nearby really because it is a depressing place to walk through.

  Diversity Plaza is not working in it's current state and we should advocate for change here and by example, proceed slowly with 34th Ave, if the Open Streets continues, so we don't have issues there over time also. Look at some of the community projects in Manhattan, like on Broadway, that slowly change and upgrade but are a real asset to the area. Let's make it inviting please!

The diversity plaza subway entrance area  has be top 10 most vile subway experienceS in nyc.  So many unwashed men, red spit, garbage, homeless everywhere.  Has it been cleaned since March?

A wonderful first impression of the neighborhood

If we can raise 20k overnight for a community fridge. Let’s focus our energy and get the subway station cleaned for the first time in a year.   Hello community politicians ...

Neighborhood Chat / Re: Car Alarm low 70s nr 37th

  Kindly do your research before scolding or judging. In NYC you are supposed to report car alarms using 911, the NYC.gov site states that very clearly.

Interesting! Yes, you're absolutely right.
