A popular Woodside eatery that serves all-natural and antibiotic-free chicken is opening a location in Long Island City in September.

Mister Chicken To Go, located at 53-26 Roosevelt Ave., is opening its second store at 44-64 21st St. in Long Island City, according to owner Mauro Haguilar.

The restaurant, known best for its rotisserie chicken and mashed potatoes, does a high volume of delivery orders, with many coming from Long Island City.

“We get a lot of business from Long Island City,” Haguilar said, who opened his store in Woodside seven years ago. “I get so many deliveries.”

The new venue takes over space that was occupied by a pizzeria, the now shuttered Amerigo.

Haguilar said the Long Island City restaurant has room for between 20 and 25 seats, and that he will be offering the same menu items—plus pizza.

Great place with nice staff. Always figured it needed to be a chain to sustain itself long term. Good for them.

I live in Forest Hills, but I’ll be sure to stop in for a delicious platter of chicken and a diet pepsi.

Silvercup Studios partners with local schools to foster next-generation filmmakers in Queens

Long before it was one of the fastest growing neighborhoods in the nation, Long Island City was an industrial town along the polluted East River, where generations recall the only good smell emanated from the Gordon Baking Company producing the Silvercup brand of bread.

After it was shuttered in a bitter labor dispute in the mid-70s, nearby factory owner Harry Suna of Kew Gardens purchased the property at 42-25 21 St. in 1980, and his architect sons Stuart and Alan began drawing up the plans to repurpose the property into Silvercup Studios, which launched in 1983 and rapidly became one of New York City’s largest film and production facilities, with nearly a half million square feet of studio space and 19 sound stages.
