Queens restaurants I *can* afford
OK, the entire list of Michelin-listed restaurants is now available on-line! Here are the entries for Queens:
| Water's Edge | 44th Drive | Long Island City |
| Malagueta | 25-35 36th Avenue | Astoria |
| Brick Café | 30-95 33rd Street | Astoria |
| Piccola Venezia | 42-01 28th Avenue | Astoria |
| Tournesol | 50-12 Vernon Blvd | Long Island City |
| Sripraphai | 64-13 39th Avenue | Woodside |
| Sapori D'Ischia | 55-15 37th Avenue | Woodside |
| Jackson Diner | 37-47 74th Street | Jackson Heights |
| Trattoria L'Incontro | 21-76 31st Street | Astoria |
| 718 Restaurant | 35-01 Ditmars Blvd. | New York |
| Taverna Kyclades | 33-07 Ditmars Blvd | Astoria |
| KumGanSan | 138-28 Northern Blvd. | Flushing |
| Bann Thai | 69-12 Austin St. | Forest Hills |
Excellent. Of these, I've been to Brick (OK), Tournesol (very good), Sripraphai (very good, if you like incredibly spicy), Jackson Diner (very good), and 718 (very good, but Lil Bistro 33 on 36th Ave. has better food for the money).

What about Ubol's? That used to be the only Queens resturant listed in Zagat's a few years back. Is it still around?
Yes, it is. It's moved, and apparently it's gone way downhill. It's certainly not the best Thai food in the area any more. On the other hand, it is the only Thai restaurant that plays terrible karaoke videos of 1970s hippie pop music as you eat your pad thai! It has some decent dishes, but is not outstandingly creative or intruigingly authentic. For Thai in Astoria, I recommend the brand-new place on 31st St., a block or so North of Ditmars, or Arnhem Thai, on 36th Ave and about 33rd St. And by far the most hyped Thai place in Queens (in New York City, actually) is Sripraprai, in Jackson Heights.
Is Taverna Kyclades a Greek restaurant? Are any of the others on the list? I'd love to find a good, cheap Greek restaurant in Queens the next time I am in NYC (next month).
Marc,
Yes, Taverna Kyclades is a Greek seafood place. It's very popular and very crowded. It's not cheap for Astorian Greek, but it's certainly cheap for NYC seafood. I'd also recommend, for Greek, Agnanti, which is on Ditmars and like 14th St, right next to Astoria Park. They have a wider selection of non-seafood items, which is good for people like me who can't get all that excited about seafood...
