New Diner to Open in February at Former Foxy’s Diner Location

Work being done at 43-11 Queens Blvd., the future site of Boulevard Diner.

Jan. 18, 2018 By Nathaly Pesantez

A new diner will be opening its doors in weeks time at the former site of Foxy’s Diner, the eatery that quietly ended its 10-year-run over the summer.

Boulevard Diner, the name of the new business at 43-11 Queens Blvd., is set to open the second week of February, according to owner Kostas “Gus” Pavlakos.

“It’s like a coffee shop,” Pavlakos said. Staples like egg platter breakfasts, hamburgers, and sandwiches will be served at the shop. A dinner menu will also be available.

Pavlakos is also working on obtaining a beer and wine license for the locale.

The diner is expected to operate from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day.

Boulevard Diner joins the small number of diners in the area, including Alpha Donuts, Pete’s Grill, and New York Style Eats.

by the name of the owner it sounds as if he has his thinking cap on…previous owners didn’t realize that breakfast specials come with toast…..they charged extra…….or french toast on whole bread was like asking them to build clock….

Yes! Diners are always welcome. Some requests:
1) Omelettes that aren’t over-cooked like many (almost all) NYC diners do.
2) Do delivery on Seamless, but don’t charge some extra delivery fee like Pete’s does
3) Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast – come on, it’s great.
4) Affordable Bacon Egg and Cheese
Woohoo! Welcome!

I know where foxy’s got their delicious 7 layer cake. I hope you do, too… and also I hope the decor is less depressing… green and brown and fake boulders. Ugh. Think light yellow, white, plants, wicker / natural materials / wood…

Because they use cheap flat grills (all day long without cleaning) for omelets instead of stainless steel pans ( Because dishwashers cost over $0.25 for each cycle). Also they scratch the surface and seasoning omelets with metal pieces like Halal Food carts…

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.
