Q in the city...You can get good Q almost anywhere these days, why not try
something local?

My recommendations...

Lombardi's (the city = Manhattan) for a real pizza, thin, crisp crust, not
that doughy crap. 6 train downtown from Grand Central to Spring St. 2
blocks east.
Roosevelt Av in Queens from Woodside to Flushing. Take the 7 train out of
Grand Central and start in Woodside and continue through Jackson Hgts and
then Main St, Flushing and enjoy a trip that takes you from Ireland to
India, Phillipines, Colombia, Peru, Korea and China. You won't be sorry.
You can get street food like fire roasted corn and tamales in Jackson Hgts.
Frank's in Chelsea for a steak; damn good and not as pricey as Luger's and
with a good barroom to boot. A train to 14th, a block or so west and 2
blocks uptown.
Astoria for some down home Greek eats - 7 train to Queensboro Plaza, switch
to the N or W up to Ditmars Blvd. There's a really good Czech barroom that
serves good eats right at the bar too. I'll try to remember the name, but
like I said, it's a really good barroom.

BTW, the good Q in the city is in those neighborhoods where those who hate
the NY Times and colored people don't venture to.
