Which one would you guys reccomend Matteo’s or Lenny’s? I have never been to either , I need a new Mets pregame supper spot…
I’m looking for a new pregame meal spot before Mets games in Queens, typically I go to Parkside (Tony Federici’s spot RIP) or the Colombian bars/restaurants nearby before Mets games.
Typically the Colombian Bars/Restaurants end up in disaster because Colombian broads are my weakness. The Dames at the Colombian bars sometimes will get me so fucked up on Aquadiente I don’t even make it into Citi Field but I leave with their number and a bag of shim speaking broken Spanish…
Last time I was at Parkside I took an absolute smokeshow Venezuelan 21 year old girl who didn’t really speak English , was only here for 5 months. I end up spending $250 on supper and giving her a purse for a gift , don’t get laid. Two days later she sends me videos of her smokeshow self
Stripping and tells me using Google Translate that she will fuck me if I pay her gas bill lol Fuck My Life hahahaha

I got you.
Lenny's and Matteo's are very different. Lenny's is very casual and bare bones. I like what Lenny's is known for (clams) and I like how late they stay open with a full menu, so I go there more than Matteo's. Matteo's is okay but put it this way, I wouldn't go out of my way to go there unless I had to. I don't live in or really near Howard Beach. but I've gone out there specifically for Lenny's.
If you're looking for something closer to Flushing and have done Parkside one too many times, look into Triangolo down the street. It's on Junction and Corona Ave. They were closed for a while, well past Covid, thought they were closed for good but it looks like they are open again. The owner grew up a few blocks away (still lives there) - he does the hosting and his wife does a lot of the cooking. There isn't a dress code but at the same time, he may turn you away if you show up in a jersey or all Mets' out. If someone shows up too overboard or sloppy he'll turn them away and literally suggest they go to Parkside instead. Also, if the staff sees you with your phone on the table they'll tell you to put it away. Small place, really good food - worth the "rules" but buyer beware if you're looking for a pre-game type atmosphere.
If you're up for some Dominican food check out La Brisa (Brisa del Cibao is the official name) on 103rd . Pretty chaotic on 103rd but I'm sure you already know.
Full disclosure - I haven't been to any of these places, besides take out from La Brisa, since before Covid. They're all still alive and well though
