Welcome to the Eater Heatmap, focusing on the hottest new openings in Queens this month.
Eater editors and writers do thorough reporting on the most exciting restaurant openings to hit their city, as well as smaller debutson the radar. In this map, we narrow
the field to those places in Queens that are drawing the most excitement, buzz, and crowds, focusing largely on restaurants that have only been open for six months or less. When we’ve been to a place — even if it just opened — we share insider tips on what to expect and what’s worth ordering, as well.
New to the list in August: New Japanese American restaurant Tomoni in Woodside and the newest huge Forest Hills outpost of Turkish American chain Zara. And for now, we say farewell to Moroccan Bites by Siham (which is currentlyclosed for renovations) and Sophie’s Rangoon Kitchen.
