[Matzaball]

Taking 7 train tomorow to go to tennis center from Grand Central. Want to get off on way for good ethnic place for lunch. Sandwich, empanadas etc. Already been to Sripraphi want to try something new. Open to anything. I have done a search already.... so help me out. Thanks

Look for the pig cart man! Check out the Jackson Heights street food article. Also, grab an arepa on the way back from the Arepa Lady if it's a Fri or Sat and you're leaving very late. Oh and if it's a weekend then Pollo Gus has nice Ecuadorian stews at a good price. THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING BULGARA! I MUST TRY IT!

Great summary. I thought I'd fill some blanks:

Queensborough Plaza -- Haven't been myself, but FilmChefs gets high praise here and there is also Bulgara within walking distance.

33rd St -- there is a dominican diner in front of MoMA QNS.

111st -- around there, Northern blvd. gets really close to Roosevelt ave. so it's pretty walkable from the 7 train. I only know Green Field, but hounds more familiar with Corona may add to the list.

[Harlan]

FilmChefs (which was primarily a sandwich shop) has closed. The chef is focusing on his catering business, but you can still occasionally get his stuff at Socrates Sculpture Park for special events.

And yes, Bulgara's not too far from Queensboro, and it's pretty respectable Bulgarian food.

[welle]

How sad! I've been meaning to go, but they had such short hours. Wonder who's catering tonight's Outdoor cinema at the Socrates Park. It's the last one for the season.

[jen kalb]

Where is Bulgara exactly (or approximately) and what sort of place is it, in addition to being bulgarian of course?

[welle]

Bulgarian food - you can read Sietsema's review here: http://www.villagevoice.com/nyclife/0620,sietsema,73199,15.html

Their website had good subway directions, but it's now under construction: http://www.bulgara-ny.com/

Great list! I'd also add the taco truck, El Rey de Oro, under the 52nd Street station at night - from about 8pm or so til late. Get the taco al pastor - marvelous - carnitas is good too.

[Matzaball]

Looks good, will try it tomorrow. Thanks for the help.

[Joe MacBu]

Tacos! At Taqueria Coatzingo on Roosevelt Ave at 76th St.
I get the guacamole on the side ("aparte").
