Chun Yang Tea is coming to 49-10 Vernon Boulevard in Long Island City, formerly the home of Something Sweet. Chun Yang is a bubble tea shop with four other locations in NYC, proliferating the explosion in Asian mini-chains across the city.
As for the McDonald’s Cafe that we previously wrote was going into the space, that story originated with the owner of 49-10. Why he started the rumor I do not know, maybe that’s the kind of joke one plays out of boredom when sitting around all day collecting rent on a building your ancestors purchased eons ago? Yet while McDonald’s Corp. is an investment grade credit, there might be a bubble in bubble tea, so it’ll be interesting to see who laughs last…

November 3, 2021 at 4:58 amMcDonald’s would be a bigger joke. You can’t drive or walk passed the stores on Vernon now. Just picture the triple parked cars & the people crowding around the small area McDonald’s needs a much bigger Space. NOT TINY STORE FRONT

November 3, 2021 at 5:03 amAs far as sitting around all day bored collecting rents from buildings your ancestors owned is a rude unacceptable remark when you know absolutely nothing about the neighborhood or the building. Stay out of the neighborhood is my advise

November 3, 2021 at 6:51 pmCouldn’t agree with you more, I wanted to say something similar to that but you said it better thank you for saying it to that individual. And by the way the person he was speaking of is one of my best friends . It’s his building and it was his families building before it’s his business alone nobody else’s . Again thank you for saying that

November 5, 2021 at 12:31 pmI’m an owner as well but don’t offer advise to others to stay out of the neighborhood, seems counter productive to a degree. This website keeps us informed regularly and made a small joke about being misinformed about your space. There’s no need for that rhetoric, especially coming from an investor who has deep roots in the area. On a positive note, I’m pretty sure everyone is happy for you as an owner and we’re happy you work with local vendors to provide us all whatever services they offer. Thanks for your part in the community!
