Queens Comfort

If you are ever in the mood to completely clog you arteries while enjoying every bite, Queens Comfort is your place. Queens Comfort is a hot spot with the locals and that's exactly how I was told about it. My friend and Astoria local, Phanavanh, introduced me to Queens Comfort last weekend and since then I swear I want to live in Astoria. I maybe exaggerating a tiny bit about moving, but the food was just SO GOOD.

I was planning on reading over the menu when I sat down in the tiny, crowed restaurant but my mind was instantly made up when I glanced at the plate next to me. I said "I'll have that!" The server walked away and I said to Phanavanh "I don't even know what I just ordered." Fear not though, I do have an eye for amazing food after all!

Fried Mac N' Cheese

After a short wait, our food arrived. Phanavanh dove into some fabulous Chicken and Waffles and I had a breakfast sandwich with the best tots ever. The sandwich was scrambled egg, cheese and fried sausage patty with a dollop of a tangy cranberry sauce on an English muffin. OH MY GOODNESS. It was mind blowing and I didn't want it to end. But eventually it did, so we paid then bill and went and got mani pedis. Five star day all the way.

The Grey Dog

 

     The Grey Dog is one of NYC's hidden gems. Alex and I discovered this fantastic little restaurant a few months ago and haven't stop eating their since. Since opening in 1996, The Grey Dog now has three locations in New York City. Their motto is; "everyday you come to drink our brew, sit in our shade and fill your bellies with our fare… And the dog is happy."   

      There are so many things that I love about this place. First off their menu is not only filled with unique items but it is displayed in such a great way. If you're 80 years old and usually carry around a magnifying glass, leave it at home when you come here. The menu is displayed on the wall. It's huge and bright lettering is visually appealing and easy to read. The menu is simple and everything is laid out for you. To make it fun, a patterned bandana is placed on your table instead of a number, so they know where to take your food when its ready. The lighting is low and the space is tight but the homemade food is worth it. The staff is also super friendly and genuinely want you to have a great dining experience.

Break me off a piece of that!

The menu contains breakfast everyday till 3pm, salads, soups, sandwiches, burgers, veggies, sweet treats, wine, beer and coffee drinks. Check out the full yummy menu here. Some of my favorites are the Hummus and Feta sandwich on their freshly baked olive bread, the cheese fries and the Bacon Cheese Burger on an English muffin. I'm sure I will discover more favorites because I pretty much want to try everything on the menu. 

Now, doesn't that look like someone who is thoroughly enjoying themselves?

I love this place so much that when my friends Danyell and Nate came up for a visit, I just had to take them there. Danyell is a professional when it comes to a good cheese burger because they're one of the 10 things that she will eat, thankfully she loved it as much as I do!

Happy, happy!

The Grey Dog has three locations in NYC: 242 West 16th Street, 90 University Place and 244 Mulberry Street. For more information check out their website. Now, go get happy with some Grey Dog.
