A few of us sampled our way around Jackson Heights.
@DaveCook will upload “good” pics later I’m sure but here are my amateur ones 
.
And maybe @JenKalb will take pics of what went home from Kabab king.
969 Kitchen — Onigirazu (“sushi sandwiches”) picked up for later: oyster, shrimp, crab
.
La Esquina — Mexican-style seafood: we shared a fish empanada & what we ordered as an octopus tostada but also arrived as what we are guessing is fish (similar crumbles to the empanada. The empanada was the winner here, crisp and delicious with a little avocado stuck inside. We schewed the provided hot sauce, surprisingly.
.
Colombian street vendor — Cheese arepa with condensed milk. We were on the lookout for Venezuelan street vendors, but stopped at the lady frying arepas, and this was a nice bite. The condensed milk drizzle offered was a new combination for me, but tasty.
.
Fuska Garden cart — Bangladeshi dahi fuska. There are a proliferation of fuska (aka puchka, gol gappa, or what I know them as – pani puri) carts in the neighborhood now, perhaps owing to the write-up and subsequent fame of Tong and Fuskahouse.
We picked the last one down the line (to be kind?) and were not disappointed. A delicious few bites, getting slightly soggier with each one as they should have!
.
Kazi Pitha Ghar cart – Bangladeshi pati shapta (crepe with sweet filling) . We were drawn to what seemed like a couple of new carts serving not-commonly-found Bengali delicacies like pati shapta and pitha.
This one was especially attractive as it sold things by the piece rather than plate. We need to get back there and sample the rest of the menu; we held back because we wanted to sit down and eat at Haat Bazaar next.
.
Haat Bazaar – Bangladeshi hot table — Assorted bhorta (mashed, heavily spiced vegetables) platter with rice and dal, Rohu (Indian salmon) curry with cauliflower and potatoes, sautéed tiny fish (maybe anchovies).
Complimentary “chaffee” ie some tea-coffee combination at the end after we turned down malai tea
The Bhorta platter had 9 different versions: potato, yam, broad beans, cilantro, tomato, squash, eggplant, lentil, and what I think was a second potato but might have been a different root vegetable.
.
Kabab King – Kababs and other things for later: Shami, Bihari, goat curry, and naan. No pics (maybe @JenKalb will add some later).
OOF. I was very full.
