I'm really hungry right now

[sereia 0]

I live in Queens, which is ethnic food Mecca - forget Manhattan, we have the real deal here You can get any kind of Chinese in my neighborhood, also Korean, Indian(Punjabi and South Indian), then a short subway ride away you've got Corona and Jackson Heights, full of Latino (mostly Colombian and Mexican)places, then Jackson Heights which has got pretty much everything(I am hoping we can have our wedding party/dinner at a Tibetan/Nepali place there) There is actually a hybrid Japanese/Nepali restaurant in Queens if you can believe it... Sunnyside is a heavily Russian, Turkish and Irish area so you've got all of those cuisines, then there's Indian Chinese(one of my favorites), not to mention Thai, Japanese, just about anything you can imagine. About the only thing I think you can't find is Hawaiian food(there is the chain L&L drive in in Manhattan, but no POI there for this Hawaii girl, it's like a Nepali place without dal!!!)

ugh good thing there's no poi here! *barf

More for me then!!!

The secret to eating poi is to eat something salty in the same bite, like Kalua pig or (more common nowadays) Spam, so the blandness offsets the saltiness. When I was in China staying in monasteries we ate plain congee and salty pickled vegetables for breakfast(mmm, I miss that) and it's the same principle.

YUM!!! Thanks all who posted. Looking at the pics (much appreciated green-eyed girl) and hearing the restuarants you guys get to go to was actually quite heartening Now that my fiance is arriving in a week and the first step of this process is over, I will be much more motivated to take some food road trips to get supplies.
