State Farm
My family has used this broker for about 29 years. We have car and homeowners insurance, and whenever we have a question, someone is always available in his office. It's important to have an agent and know that someone is there. The staff is courteous and always willing to help.
Preferred Floors of Whitestone
I was recommended by a friend and they put down carpeting twice in my house. Both times, I was very happy with the job. They showed up when they were supposed to come and the installers were very nice, as well as the people in the store. I would definitely recommend them.
Major Homes Corp
We have used them on numerous occasions. They put in new windows and did our kitchen. They are licensed and will not disappear with your money. They have been in business for a long time. When they say they're coming, they do. I would recommend them.
Queens Midway Animal Hospital
We used Dr. Kirk with our previous two dogs. It is not a fancy place, but we like his service. He is honest and will not take you for your money, like some other vets. We used to board our dogs there when we went on vacation.
Uncle Bacala's Italian Seafood & More
I have been there twice, and have enjoyed the food both times. I remember eating salmon once and tilapia the other time. You can get the price fixe for dinner and it comes with a salad and desert. There is valet parking and parking on the street is difficult. The ambiance is lovely and the waiters were excellent. I would definitely go back again.
Turkish Cuisine
My husband and I have been there twice. I had the eggplant kabab and it was excellent. It is served with salad and rice. My husband had the chicken kabab and he enjoyed it also. For dessert, we shared baklava and it was very good. It is in the theatre district, so it can get busy before the Broadway shows begin. As far as prices go, I think they are reasonable, especially for the city.
Silvermine Tavern
I was recommended to their Sunday brunch by my friend. Boy, was she right. The brunch goes from 11 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. We got there at 12 and it was quite busy. Lots of families go there and large groups. There was lot of food at the buffet. They prepare pancakes in front of you and of course there are eggs, bagels and lox, quiche, muffins, jams and other brunch type food. They also give you a complimentary glass of champagne. Coffee and tea are included in the cost. Afterwards, you can take a stroll around the neighborhood. They even provide you with a map. The next time we go, we will definitely go when it is warmer. It was a little nippy.
East Bay Diner
The East Bay Diner is my favorite. You must be hungry when you go there. My husband and I have been there many times for dinner and when we order a complete dinner, we usually share. It's definitely enough for the two of us. When you come in to the restaurant, there are usually cakes on the cashier counter to sample as you are waiting for your table. It's a distance from my house, but it is well worth the trip.
