Hi guys! I’m sad to say that this will be my very last QC Voices post, womp womp. I’m graduating (better late than never, I guess) and will be going off into the real world. Or something, I don’t really know how to feel. Nervous. Just nervous. Anyway, when I first started writing for QC Voices, […]
A few months ago, I stopped eating red meat. There’s no solid reason why, I just felt like doing it and had been thinking about doing it for a while. I miss cheeseburgers everyday. Anyway, going into it a big concern of mine was that I thought I was going to have trouble finding things to eat […]
Yes! You heard that right, a restaurant inside a loading dock. I don’t know who came up with the idea, but, it’s sure darn creative. A couple blocks down from 34th street, sandwiched between a massive Dunkin’ Donuts and your run of the mill deli, sits little hole in the wall, El Sabroso. Now, I’ve traveled to 34th street many […]
Are you interested in eating lobster, sipping on some bubbly and having an amazing view of Manhattan on a chic rooftop? If so, look no further than Penthouse 808 in Long Island City! Every Wednesday Penthouse 808 at the Ravel Hotel (8-08 Queens Plaza South) hosts a Lobster Bake called “Maine Squeeze” with live music, great food […]
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I love tacos and Mexican food in general. I’m a fan of anything with Mexican flare. I’m also a fan of margaritas. They’re fun little (or big) beverages that consist of tequila, lime or lemon juice, triple sec and salt or sugar on the rim of the glass. They can be […]
I love pork buns. They are my weakness. I’m on a chicken-only diet but I always (ALWAYS) cheat for pork buns and I don’t even care. When I found out there is a place in Astoria basically dedicated to wrapping different food items up in steamed buns I was like: And so I happily made […]
“Ramen, the only thing on this Earth that falls into the ‘men’ category that doesn’t disappoint me,” my friend Brittany said as she dug into a steaming hot bowl of Miso Ramen noodles. Ramen is the most comforting food I can think of (other than the homemade chicken soup my grandma makes). This Japanese soup dish is […]
Welcome to the new school year! The new fall semester means that summer vacation is officially over and that there is an entirely new, busy, stressful, and overwhelming semester we need to endure. That’s what it means for me at least. It’s understandable that the new semester = end of summer, but why does Labor […]
Last week, I was watching “Everyday Italian” on the Food Network (favorite channel, favorite show, don’t judge. Also, wild spring break). Giada de Laurentiis is a famous Italian celebrity chef with countless cookbooks and a house in Malibu. She has a number of TV shows, but in this one she cooks Italian classics right from […]
The first time I went to Rincon Criollo, located at 40-09 Junction Boulevard in Corona, I was in a bad mood. Typical cranky teenager stuff. My parents picked me up from a terrible day at work and during the car ride I was on the brink of tears (I’m dramatic from time to time). We finally get there, there […]
