Restaurants & Food / Re: Asian cafe market_subway

sounds promising. does it seem to be one of those places that brings in pre-made, pre-wrapped pastries or more like Rainbow and Fay Da, where some things are made on premises?

Restaurants & Food / Maynard Farms overcharging at Jackson Heights Greenmarket

« Last post by Grabey on August 09, 2020, 12:38:59 PM »

Just a heads up, check how much you're being charged for things if you shop at Maynard Farms (the fruit vendor with apples, cider, berries, etc.) at the Greenmarket. I was charged $2.50/lb for something that was $2/lb and paid about $2 more than I should have. I asked the vendor about it and he said the price was $2.50 despite the sign saying $2.

I know farmers are struggling but they've gotta charge the posted prices. I'm fortunate that $2 isn't a huge deal to me, but maybe it is to others, like the people in line ahead of me who were paying with Snap vouchers. I would have been totally fine paying $2.50/lb but the person was so rude about it and was implying that I lied about the sign (I went back and checked! I was right!) that I'll never shop there again. Too bad, because I'm gonna need to find another vendor that sells apples year round!

Neighborhood Chat / Re: Subway Masks Mandantory Yey but.................

Maybe the worry isn't about them. Maybe it's about stopping a pandemic from spreading back here and taking off too quickly again....

"The new seating on Mott Street is Rockwell Group’s sixth outdoor-dining installation, and the first one shared by several restaurants.

Another communal dining cluster is scheduled for later this month. It will radiate from the intersection of 37th Road and 74th Street in Jackson Heights, in the part of Queens that had the highest concentration of illness from Covid-19. Like the businesses of Chinatown, the Nepalese, Bangladeshi and Indian restaurants on those blocks have been slow to exploit the new outdoor dining rules."

Really cool news.

I heard about the required by law of mask wearing on the subway and that is great news! However, i was on the 7 today and one guy had no mask in sight so I switched to the next car and another guy was eating and drinking coffee- no mask in sight. Same thing with others on my way home. Did they not get the message?

MTA needs to fine those without masks and policing the trains if we are to get over this.

I get where you are coming from but if you have a mask on AND are far away from them, you have little to no reason to worry.

 Please, please. It's kind of scary now with no attempt at social distancing to find a path to enter the subway from Diversity Plaza.

I got these cherries today at $2.99 per pound at Kim's Brother. Great price! I've paid up to $4.99/lb in the past few weeks elsewhere.
