Habino LIC

A new Japanese restaurant is expected to open in November at 10-70 Jackson Avenue– where Los Amigos deli used to be located.

The restaurant, to be called Hibino LIC, will be run by Sooja Lee and her husband Masaru Fukuda.

The couple runs a Japanese restaurant in Cobble Hill, called Hibino, which has received many positive reviews by food critics.

The Long Island City restaurant will offer pretty much the same menu as the Cobble Hill location. The main difference is that the LIC restaurant will be a smaller.

There will be 11 tables and 26 seats at the LIC location. There are no plans for a sidewalk café.

A worker said that the restaurant should open in a month.

Hibino is one of the finest Japanese restaurants I’ve ever been to. This is great news for LIC! Can’t wait to check out the new place—I actually hope it’s just like the one in Brooklyn.

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide. Thanks to the tireless efforts by our city’s law enforcement officers, we’ve padlocked thousands of illegal shops and created safer streets for children and families. But we’re not stopping there.”
