ANOTHER high profile storefront in Long Island City will be shutting its doors come the end of March. Something Sweet located at 49-10 Vernon Boulevard in Hunters Point opened five years ago during the summer of Sweet-16 (my how time flies). In addition to standard ice cream fare, they offered unusual flavors such as black sesame, green tea, and taro, as well as Thai ice cream rolls and bubble tea.

AFTER a bit of a delay we are happy to report that the restaurant Noodle Craft has finally opened in Long Island City. Located at 10-39 47th Rd in Hunters Point, it was originally scheduled to open this past October but …well the restaurant biz. Anyway they’re doing both eat-in and delivery, and by the looks of the menu above I’m ready to place my order now. Or maybe I should go noodling before, which is a pastime that takes place predominantly in the states south and east of Kansas. And do you know what the pastime in Kansas is? Making fun of people from Arkansas. Which to us Houyhnhnm’s in the north east is a bit reminiscent of The Sneetches. Oh yeah, noodles, stay focused, bon appetit!

It’s the second restaurant from chef Dan Kluger, who opened Loring Place in Greenwich Village in 2016. According to Eater NY it serves a “menu of reimagined diner classics and childhood favorites.”
