Forest Hills Restaurants During the Pandemic

Local restaurants have been struggling through the past few months and now some have some welcomed relief in the form of outdoor seating. Some local favorites, unfortunately, have not made it through the hard times. If you have any additional local restaurant updates, feel free to put them in the comments section below or email them to edgeofthecity@gmail.com.

Restaurant Row has expanded its always-popular outdoor dining further out into the street.

It's cool to see local restaurants really doing nice things with their new outdoor seating during the pandemic. Such as this cozy little spot for T-Bone Diner along Queens Blvd.


The always excellent Banter has recently reopened thanks to its outdoor seating area. 

A crowd waits in line to get some of La Boulangerie's delicacies. 

The excellent Nick's Pizza advertising curbside pickup and home delivery.

Portofino's outdoor seating area along Ascan Ave.

The amazing Italian restaurant Tuscan Hills, one of the best local restaurants in Forest Hills, has set up outdoor seating along Queens Blvd.


Unfortunately, the recently-opened RenWen Noodle Factory had to close its doors. It was one of the finest new additions to Forest Hills' thriving culinary scene and I hope it finds a way to return.
The fine little restaurant Jack & Nellie's also had to shutter on Ascan.

  4. There's construction going on inside the Jack & Nellie's space. An agent from the Halstead office next door confirmed that it will be another restaurant. Can't wait to find out what the menu will be and how the place will be set up!
