I always thought Mr. Wonton was the worst tasting Chinese place in Sunnyside…. I’m a fan of Golden Wok personally.

1) Hot food item not held at or above 140º F.2

99% of pizzeria’s are guilty of this.

Its a cheap ploy by Bloomie to f$$k us for our money since he GIVES AWAY hundreds of millions in “Tax Breaks” to his buddies.

BTW…”Tax Breaks” means they pay NO TAXES.

GUESS WHO MAKES UP THE DIFFERENCE?

Really Rick? Golden Wok has great chinese food compared to the rest of the junk in Sunnyside

People need to learn to accept the fact that most restaurants aren’t going to be spotless. Just cause there’s an A rating hanging on the door doesn’t mean they’re not breaking laws currently

Op-ed | New York’s ground lease co-ops: Our families can’t wait any longer 

Jan. 14, 2025 By Michael Tang 

Last December brought a long-awaited victory for New York City. Our City Council adopted the historic City of Yes housing plan, paving the way for more than 80,000 new homes by 2040 with the promise of affordability. As a longtime resident of Flushing, Queens, I naturally welcomed the news – it’s a much-needed reprieve for New Yorkers as housing costs continue to soar in the midst of an unparalleled housing crisis. But entering 2025 on the heels of this win, we residents at  Murray Hill Cooperative remain at risk — our lives are virtually unchanged because we belong to the last class of unprotected “tenants” as ground lease co-op residents. Without legislative action, more than 25,000 New Yorkers face the threat of losing their homes — homes that we own — to landowners seeking to raise our ground rent to astronomical rates.
