A Jackson Heights Tibetan restaurant will be opening a second location on Northern Blvd in the next few weeks.

Phayul, the highly acclaimed Tibetan/Himalayan restaurant located on the second floor of 37-65 74th Street, will be opening a restaurant at the former site of Ru Yi Northern Restaurant, located at 89-17 Northern Blvd.

The new restaurant, which will be called Phayul Himalayan Restaurant, will be very similar to Phayul, according to chef Chime Tendha.

The menu will contain the same dishes, although several new items will be added, Tendha said.

“We are not sure just yet what we will be adding,” he said. “We are working on it.”

The new location will be much larger, a necessity, Tendha said. The Northern Blvd restaurant will be able to seat 40 people, compared to the current restaurant, which can seat 20 people.

“The old restaurant is very small,” Tendha said. “Customers will be much more comfortable at the new restaurant.”

Tendha will serve as the head chef at the new location, with his existing staff remaining at the 74th Street location.

The new restaurant was first reported on the website, Jackson Heights Life, a neighborhood forum.

Met Council leader warns of ‘catastrophe’ for low-income families in Queens due to lack of pandemic-era federal food aid

Mar. 28, 2023 By Bill Parry

As an accomplished legislator, law professor and media personality with broad experience in government and not-for-profit organizations, Met Council CEO and executive director David Greenfield is well aware of the power of words. With Passover arriving on Wednesday, April 5, and with federal pandemic food assistance no longer available to low-income families in Queens, the leader of the nation’s largest Jewish charity organization warned of a coming “catastrophe” and called for the city to step up to provide $13 million in emergency funding for pantries to help New Yorkers facing food insecurity and elevated costs of living in the borough.

Pair of Queens community organizations will activate public spaces to celebrate local cultures

Two Queens community organizations are among an inaugural cohort of five groups citywide that will lead new projects to celebrate local cultures and histories in public spaces under a new initiative called The Local Center in a partnership between Urban Design Forum and the Association for Neighborhood & Housing Development (ANHD).

At a time when New York is grappling with an uneven pandemic recovery and as displacement looms large for communities and neighborhoods across the five boroughs, this new endeavor will convene interdisciplinary teams to transform and activate the shared spaces where cultural traditions flourish — and importantly, center the community visions and leadership that is too often left out of the process.
