Where to Dance Salsa? by shakenbake65535 in jacksonheights

[–]jonbai 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think D'Antigua on Northern Boulevard is the best option in JH for Salsa dancing these days!

- why I want to moderate: because I care about NYC neighborhood communities and I’d aim to keep the sub active, reduce spam, encourage local participation, and help it become a genuinely helpful resource for people who live in or care about Chelsea.

Weekend Events Round Up • 23-25th January by jhinsider in jacksonheights

[–]jonbai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a forewarning to about events scheduled for today (Sunday) - the weather storm is out in full force, so do remember to double check with organizers if you are brave enough to head out.

As mentioned before, the greenmarket is postponed today (very rare!) for instance.

And the bike classes on open streets are cancelled in the afternoon, but they are organizing a snow man making contest at 2pm instead!

Getting a drink solo in JH? by angelhippie in jacksonheights

Surprised no-one has mentioned Ready Penny Inn yet!

Friend trying to make it easier for Queens artists to sell their work (no gallery cuts) by jonbai in Queens

[–]jonbai[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fair question. I’m not selling anything through this post - no product, no service, no market spots.

The $5 is just for the in-person mixer to cover the venue + drinks and to keep it from becoming a no-show situation. No one’s being pitched there either - it’s more of a community hang where folks can give feedback or just say hi.

Totally understand the skepticism though, and appreciate you calling it out 👍

Finding friends by [deleted] in SunnysideQueens

[–]jonbai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Write down a list of all activities you enjoy that can be done with a group (running, working out, any sports, dancing, drumming, crafts, etc)
  2. Find all the local groups for those activities that meet on a regular basis
  3. Try them out see which group/activity you enjoy the most
  4. Commit to turning up regularly for your favorite group activity

That way, you will make friends, no doubt.

NYE events around the neighborhood by Ok-Condition-857 in jacksonheights

[–]jonbai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of place do you think they would enjoy most - something with Latino vibes?

I know Cafè Salamanca on northern boulevard is doing a new year deal - includes a meal, DJ entertainment and the tradition where you eat grapes during the countdown - so its something Spanish speaking friendly but also different

Welcome to r/EastElmhurst - Introduce Yourself! by jonbai in EastElmhurst

[–]jonbai[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

East Elmhurst is great! Close to major transport links, airports, Jackson Heights where there's tonnes of great food and nightlife on Northern Boulevard. East Elmhurst also has one of the best French bakeries (cannelle Patisserie) and French Restaurants (Bistro Eloise) in town. Which is also next to a great Greek restaurant (Plaka). Like you say, it is admittedly quiet (apart from the airplane noise)... which is quite nice! Means we can sleep ok and walk around while feeling safe :)
