October is in full swing, bringing with it colorful foliage and crisp fall air. It’s the perfect time to warm up with classic comfort food favorites. With many
restaurants offering specials for Queens Restaurant Week, throw on a cozy cable knit cardigan and check out some of our top picks for the best pub grub
in the borough.
Donovan’s Grill and Tavern
214-16 41st Ave., Bayside, NY • 718-423-5353
Donovan’s Grill
and Tavern has
been a neighborhood
favorite since
1966. Over the
years, this iconic
Queens eatery garnered
a loyal following
at its original
Woodside location.
In 1978, the
Donovan family
opened the second
location in Bayside
and has been going
strong ever since.
Their dining room’s rustic fi replaces, plaid tablecloths and brick-lined walls
create a warm, inviting setting for cozy fall meals.
Jagerhaus
15-16 149th St., Whitestone, NY • 718-767-3486
This charming alpine eatery mixes
traditional Bavarian cuisine with a
modern twist. Patrons can sip pints
of Hofbrau Oktoberfest at the white
subway tiled bar. The tufted leather
booths, vintage beer stein collection
and taxidermy gazelle mounted on
the dining room wall create the vibe
of a cozy hunting lodge.
Jagerhaus’ Hungarian goulash with
smoked paprika, aged beef and a side
of spätzle is guaranteed to warm you
up on a cold fall day. For heartier
fare, try their Jagerschnitzel, a savory sautéed veal cutlet in portobello mushrooms
and red wine sauce, or the expertly seasoned pork Bratwurst with
nutmeg and mace. For lunch, try the Jagerhaus sliders served on pretzel
buns, or the Highland potato cake with apple sauce and rosemary cream.
