I was so wonderfully surprised to find this vegetarian and vegan diner. The name alone, Smile of…read morethe Beyond, is so unique and quirky, and I loved it. They always have vegan pancakes on the menu, but when I went, the special was vegan peach and mango pancakes piled high with vegan whipped cream and a little cinnamon. They were some of the most flavorful vegan pancakes I've ever had. The vegan bacon was the best I've ever had, perfectly crisp. The Ginger Blast drink was the perfect spicy, refreshing addition. The whole place has such a peaceful, distinctive vibe. They play soothing, meditative music, like the kind you'd hear in a spa, and they have cute inspirational cards that make the experience feel even more special. The diner has been around since 1972, and that sense of character really comes through. It's owned and operated by students of spiritual teacher, poet, and philosopher Sri Chinmoy, which helps explain the calm, uplifting atmosphere. If you're anywhere near here, definitely go.

Since Champs Diner closed, I've been looking for a new vegan/vegetarian diner and recently heard…read moreabout this one in Jamaica. We went on a Saturday morning, which was busy but it was only a 10 minute wait for a roomy booth. We ordered a vegan egg, cheese and sausage sandwich and a vegan Philly cheesesteak. The Philly was delicious and the flavor was amazing. The breakfast sandwich was just okay. One thing I was surprised about was that nothing else came with our orders, unlike general diners. No greens, breakfast hash, fries, etc. So when ordering, keep that in mind. The strawberry banana smoothie was so good and the ginger shot was good value for the price. We were still a bit hungry so we grabbed a cookie from the front cashier and had it added to our bill. I would come back, pretty much because it's the only vegetarian/vegan diner that I know of.

As for the food, it was decent enough to get my energy up. Cafe's interior was modest with few tables and very spacious. Staff were attentive and industrious. Prices were fairly inexpensive. Overall, I had a good experience and enjoyed my drink.

Tony's Jamaica Market is a small quick stop deli, conveniently located close to the MTA subway and…read moreLIRR station. It's on Supthin Blvd and parking can be a hit or miss. Inside is small, the front by the register is full of signs tape around the window. The isles are stocked with rice, dry candy and bread. If your not here for the sandwiches, I suggest checking the dates on everything else. If your not sure what to order the menu choices are on a Boars Head board with different sandwich options and the prices are displayed. Prices were reasonable, mostly below $10.00. In addition to deli sandwiches, they make breakfast sandwiches as well. The guy behind the counter had patience, and accommodated my order. I initially ordered the Honey Baby from the menu, as he wrote down my order, I changed my mind and replaced the honey mustard for mayo and the swiss cheese for provolone. The sandwich bread was soft, the turkey was sliced thin and folded. It was neatly wrapped and cut. I would go back again and try the turkey pastrami.
