I was looking for something at least relatively healthy, as JFKs food selection is ABYSMAL. I have no portion control and have been doing this thing where I starve myself all day until dinner, so this was my first meal of the day at 8:30pm. It ran like $20 for chicken, cabbage, rice, black beans, and some salsa. I was SHOCKED when it wasn't half bad. There was an ample amount of chicken, I was expecting like 3 pieces. My only complaint was some of the rice was super hard and overcooked and got stuck in your teeth, but I've had MUCH worse meals at airports. I'mma run this back on my next flight out of JFK...

You order at any of the screens for all of the restaurants and they will prep it and you pick it up from them The service was decent. I had to wait for a little bit of time so maybe ask them to rush your order if you are tight on time. I didn't see much seating in the area but I didn't take much time to look around. I took my salad and ate it in the plane.

The macaroni and cheese is better than my mamas (don't tell her, please), the fried shrimps are a perfectly seasoned golden delight and the collard greens are straight from South Carolina.

The cashier was very polite and accommodating. I didn't catch her name but I appreciated her effort and time to make suggestions on what to order. I believe this place can a facelift. They need to do a better job of cleaning the front of restaurant. It's a hole in the wall place so if you don't know it's there, you'll probably pass it. And being that the front of it isn't kept clean, you probably would think you aren't missing much. I initially came here off of a recommendation from a friend. He had some wings that he said were pretty good. Which I must say, yes they were good. The Mac and cheese is a bit salty and the mashed is a bit bland. The fish was good. This place has a lot of potential to be great. I'd go back and give it another shot to see if anything changed. We will see what happens.

Jamaica Coliseum Mall has been a staple for as long as I can remember not just for Queens, but for…read moreLong Island, Brooklyn, the Bronx... honestly, every borough of New York. If you grew up in NYC, chances are you've been to the Coliseum at least once in your life. And if you haven't, you truly missed out. It's not what it used to be, and now it's officially closed but the memories will live on forever. I used to work at the Hall of Fame, where we sold magazines, CDs, and DVDs. If it was part of the music industry, we had it. Right next door was Julian printing custom T-shirts. Black house studios where music was created. There were sneaker spots, Sammy selling leather coats and clothing, jewelry vendors, perfume and cologne booths, and of course the food court. You couldn't walk through without hearing music, seeing fashion, and feeling culture. From the Jamaican beef patty spot to the hat stores, the Coliseum wasn't just a mall it was a community. I did most of my school shopping here because we were able to negotiate prices. It was a place where people hustled, connected, and created memories. It's especially heartbreaking knowing future kids won't get to experience what we experienced growing up. The Jamaica Coliseum will truly, truly be missed. There will be one last celebration on the Ave on February 21st from 12 PM to 5 PM. If you're reading this, don't miss your final chance to experience Jamaica Ave the way we all remember it. Thank you, Jamaica Coliseum, for everything.

RIP Jamaica Colosseum mall…read more I wrote an article about its closure. Growing up in Brooklyn, most of my mall memories come from Kings Plaza. From what I've seen and reported, that place always had a huge range--budget-friendly spots right next to higher-end stuff, tons of selection, and services that actually felt worth it. I talked to a bunch of vendors there, and they were straight-up neighborly and friendly. You had everything: the food court, fresh jackets, shoes, jewelry, you name it. A real wide variety of things all under one roof. And now it's all gone.
