I was there for Thanksgiving party on the 22nd Tuesday the 22nd. For variety of things that went on, including a bunch of people singing a lot of enthusiasm. Not always on key, but the enthusiram more than made up for it as well as dancing and a small turkey dinner. I was disappointed they would have potatoes. It was turkey. There was stuffing. There were yams. They were veggies but no mashed potatoes.

The small business development center at York college is a great resource for anybody considering a business, particularly in southeast Queens. They are extremely helpful. Give them a call & set up an appointment. You will be surprised at how much they can help you.

New York City subway station. Can a station ever get a five-star rating? I don't think so. It's a utilitarian place, any rating is suspect, there's some seating. They do have some wonderful tile murals in the station, both at the subway line where you've already paid your fare as well as outside. Because of the murals I'm giving it a four-star rating. Subway station was reasonably clean, there are no homeless there. The station also is separate on either side northbound southbound which is one side of the street to Brooklyn southbound. I'll call that is on the west side of the 6th avenue. Northbound to Queens is on the east side the entrance. You can't transfer from North to southbound at the station without getting out and paying another fair.

They had an event on August 2nd 2022. And they had stuff that they were giving away it was just kind of a nice 2-hour event from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. . I got to meet a lot of nice people and they loaded me up with covid tests some masks as well as some literature on the woodhaven business improvement district. If you don't know anything about business improvement districts you should, there I think about 110 in New York City and they support businesses. It was a hot day they were at the corner of Forest Park parkway or something like that in Jamaica avenue there are a lot of little restaurants in the area with my first time in the area on foot there's a little Park like place right next to the Chase Bank where they held this with seating and depending on the time of day you'll be in or out of the Sun, yesterday was very hot so they weren't that many sitting there. But a fun time

Local supermarket chain that seems to have a lot of fruits and vegetables very fresh. No parking lot as is normal for a New York City grocery store.
