Long Island City

I have to be in LIC this Friday. Its not an are of the City that I get to often. Are ther any restaurants worth sticking around for or should I head to Astoria or Williamsburg instead. any suggestions?

A good red sauce Italian "Family" place is Manducati's,
I went on an early-in-the-week night and the place was
empty but on the weekends it's supposed to be jumpin'.I
heard that Pearson's BBQ is somewhere nearby and rumor
has it that it's a destination worth seeki

Pearsons beek ribs are probably the best in the 5
boroughs (texas style-REAL smoky) but it is more
take-out than restaurant. Manducati's is great but you
might encounter a wait-their half hour is an hour.
There are some decent Irish pubs on Queens Blvd. in
Sunnyside if that is something you might consider.
The Orchard - 41st south side of QB and P.J.Horgan's -
42nd north side of QB. Good pints and reliable pub
food.
