Since the discussion has hit on INdian restaurants, I would add that there at least two others of top quality. The Delhi Palace is a couple of doors down from the Jackson Diner, and the only one with a dinner buffet is the Indian Taj. . . both are excellent quality, and the buffet is astonishingly cheap for all you can eat. Both are on 74th St. a few steps from the Jackson Diner.
In the neighborhood there is also first class Italian, Argentinian, Peruvian, Korean, Thai, and more. Jackson Heights is one of the world's
truly spectacular neighborhoods to eat.

On two other fronts: The performing staff is almost complete, check in at the website for the latest developments: www.eisteddfod-ny.org
And we are looking into making an arrangement with a local motel for discounted rooms if we get enough interest to allow group booking of 10 or 20 rooms. IF THIS IS OF INTEREST TO YOU, PLEASE LET US KNOW. No commitment is required at this point, but knowing of your interest will be a big plus.
Some of the performers will not be so familiar. At a later date, I will post some more detailed info on the names who are not known around the US. Or anyone can email me off list if you wish:
