Welcome to the Eater Heatmap, focusing on the hottest new openings in Queens this month.
Eater editors do thorough reporting on the most exciting restaurant openings to hit their city, as well as smaller debuts on 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 an Eater editor has already 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 April: Nigerian restaurant Wakky’s D in Jamaica and Sophie’s Rangoon Kitchen in Elmhurst.
