1. I edited my post to say Kew Gardens Hills instead of Forest Hills, at exactly the same time you posted your reply. How cute

2. I am referring to the total time it would take me to leave work in Bayside, get to a restaurant, and go home to Monsey. From my office in bayside to W 72nd st and back to monsey (without traffic) is about 1h 10m, going to Kew Gardens Hills and driving back to Monsey is under 1h. This is all according to Google Maps. In other words driving the 30 minutes from Bayside to Midtown puts me closer to Monsey, and therefore the increase in total driving time is only 15 minutes, assuming no traffic (I dont leave work till rush hour is long over so there's a chance there won't be traffic).

Pretty much whatever time you're doing this, Bayside to Manhattan to Monsey will run you into a lot more traffic than Bayside to KGH to Monsey. You have to take Google Maps time estimates with a grain of salt.

You asked if it's worth schlepping in to the city. Personally, I think the much greater chance of traffic, hassle of parking, etc and the fact that there are so many places to eat in Queens, make it totally not worth it.

So I started a job in Queens a few weeks ago and I don't know anything about Queens! What are some good kosher places to eat in Queens? The job is in Bayside but I don't mind traveling around a bit for good food, especially since I have a friend in Manhattan who is willing to meet me in Queens on occasion. Is it worth eating in Queens to save 15 minutes of driving? Or should I suck it up and meet him in midtown?

What type of food are you looking for?

The kind they serve you in a restaurant, and then you eat it. I don't care so much tbh

Pizza, Chinese, Steak, Burger, Sushi, Bagels, Falafel, Shwarma.............

I am just looking for suggestions.
