replying to u/saturnchick: Agree a lot with diners and, to a certain extent, mid-level slice shops. Another thing that has slowly disappeared, especially from Queens, are German bakeries, delis, and restaurants. Rudy’s Pastry Shop in Ridgewood and Zum Stammtisch in Glendale are atill going strong, and Gotscheer Hall in Ridgewood has had a recent resurgence but in the last couple of decades Queens has lost Niedersteins, Chalet Alpina, Woodhaven House, Peter’s Deli, Oxford Bakery, Von Westerhagen, Karl Ehmer, Gebhardt’s, and Maasbachs off the top of my head.
“Both of those places are immensely popular though. There’s basically enough demand for one or two very good German restaurants in certain areas, but no more than that.”
