The strip along the northern edge of Queens Boulevard is a fun peak into middle-class diversity in Queens. Within a few blocks you can sample: spicy Korean BBQ (Shin Chon Kalbi), novel Indo-Chinese (Tangra Masala), satisfying Turkish (Hemsin), kitschy Roumanian (Casa Romana), and good, ole Italian (Dazie's). You might also peek at a great Irish butcher and an award-winning cake decorator.
If you're not ready to eat, try a pint at the Gaslight, a fine Irish pub with outdoor seating. Or warm up with some java at Armenian coffee store Baruir where the coffee beans are roasted in the store.
