What is your favorite non-franchise restaurant? (as in, you can't find another restaurant like it anywhere else)
Mine is a French bakery in Jackson Heights where they make the best hot chocolate ever. They also have awesome tuna sandwiches.

This amazing pizzeria in Central Phoenix, one of my favorite brick-oven cooked pizza places in existence.
It's just down the street from the AZ Science Center.

Zibetto which closed 3 years ago. It was a nice little boutique Italian coffee shop. I'd get a vanilla Crossiant and a latte or marachino all the time, I miss it. Also I didn't know you lived in Queens Zan! I live in Manhattan.

and then we have a pretty decent chinese buffet place downtown that's another one of my favorite, they have a small selection but it's super good especially when it's fresh.

I know but believe it or not in Italy they are common. Also the vanilla crossiants were the best - I would go there in the morning with my dad and they'd bake them right there and use their homemade vanilla custard filling. I still remember it.
