Q (a Thai bistro) sits on cozy Ascan Avenue right around the corner from busy Austin Street. With its neat, comfortable and playful but classy interior, it's is one of a handful of restaurants that feel like a slice of Greenwich Village right here in Queens. Q is usually busy, but you always feel like you're surrounded by, if not friends, then at least by people you know and like. Q is consistantly one of the first places I think of when I want to impress upon people that living outside of Manhattan does not reduce eating out to diners, fast food, or dirty bodegas. It's hardly the cheapest place in the neighborhood, but it's worth the money. My one complaint is their brunch menu, which is noticeably weak. But coming in the spring or summer evenings to sit on the front sofa seats with a glass of wine and a snack can't be beat.

I've already reviewed Q once for eateryROW, and you can click the link to it below, but it's on the map, so it's getting mentioned here as well.
