As one of the most crucial operations in the borough, the Entrepreneur Space is a place where…read moreentrepreneurs can make their dreams come alive. It is an "innovation incubator" which is a space designed to help folks develop their ideas into fruition, and flourish as an up-n-coming small business. So many of the best businesses in Queens got their legs in this space, and for food oriented bizes especially; this is a place where a licensed kitchen is available for just about any occasion from testing to presenting. This is especially important for folks who aren't looking to sign a lease for a commercial space and/or want to try something out before venturing out on their own. It's still relatively new as it's only been around for a few years. It's not the largest space, but it addresses a crucial need for small businesses who are hoping to take their food game to the next level. Folks can rent the spaces and the place is open 24 hours a day. FIngers crossed they stick around for a long time.

Entrepreneur's Space is a large kitchen and venue space for budding chefs, brewers and winemakers…read more They host an annual birthday party to celebrate the space and all the food entrepreneurs that cook there! So cool! I did not know this place existed until last night! There were 34 vendors explaining and giving tastes of their best foods and drinks. With so many options and limited belly room, I didn't get to try all 34, but we made a brave attempt! (Ok, Maybe I tried 30). My favorites were: Biggie's Crack Toffee- winner in my book. Amazing delicious toffees. Two people next to me took a bite, one person opened their eyes wide and said OMG! The other person was nodding and smiling. Out of the three flavors available for tasting, I wanted to take home two flavors: the bitter sweet pomegranate crackling toffee and the sweet aromatic toasted pecans with bourbon. So good! Veda's Cakes and catering- their roti was this fluffy cloud-like roll filled with curried chicken. Great flavors. I will definitely visit when they set up a restaurant. Judy's Knishes- crispy potato and onions reminded me of my mother's cooking. It was filling, simple and homey at the same time. Great bite. Pretzel Man- gooey cheese stuffed fluffy pretzel was delicious. Casa Maya- their slightly sweet hearty smoked "Fire roasted red medium salsa" was so good that I bought one bottle to take home. Most surprising: Phoebe's - her 'Omega-3 bombs' were chock filled with 9 whole grains, flaxseed and was hearty and beautiful. Tasted nutty and had a soft texture. Very filling. Viva Natural Pao de Queso- gluten free cheese rolls. They tasted like lighter version of Brazilian cheese bread. I liked the cheese and the smoked salmon sandwiched inside. Uji Smoothies- smoothies made from whole grains. I thought this was be disgusting but it was surprisingly light and one of the smoothies tasted like drinking oatmeal and two tasted pretty good (chia and citrus + quinoa + mixed berries). I can't wait to come back next year!

I had the pleasure of stumbling across an event from project Sara when chef Evelyn Garcia was…read moreinvited to prepare the night's menu. The atmosphere was great and not too loud for a conversation. Staff service was really accommodating and quite friendly. The menu for the night was very interesting, lots of interesting flavors I was lucky enough to have tried. Each dish I had seem to be paired with a choice of set drink. I was just full enough when I finished desert, which is quite pleasant. The staff really know their stuff so dont be afraid to ask them questions about the menu, because I definitely didnt know some of the different ingredients on the menu. By the end of the night I was just full from the drinks and the food. The set menu for the night seem to be different each time, so every time is a new experience. I would definitely go to another event if I get the chance!

From the owner: project Sāra appeals to adventurous diners and restaurant explorers who love to experience…read moreinventive and inspired cuisine to respect and enjoy the art of food creation. Imagine the citrus notes of orange, tomatoes in the farmers markets. Think of the markets themselves, the smell of the wet wooden crates, the blends of aromas from different ingredients, mingled with fragrances and whiffs coming from all around you spark paint a picture of the market itself in your mind. And then comes the Chef, each chef has his own essence, a unique sense to approach ingredients, treat them, mix them plate them. At 'project Sāra' we believe that being a Chef is a process, it is not an event. One cannot be a Chef by reading thousands of books, writing hundreds of exams. It has to be in the blood from the start. And we at project Sāra seeks to focus on this essence of being a Chef. Using anti-restaurants as a platform, we tie up with any willing aspiring chef, food blogger, culinary students and allow them to express their creativity through our supervision, guidance, location, team and resources. The result is a pop- up restaurant with a unique menu, innovative setting and an unforgettable dining experience. We call upon all those who speak the language of ingredients to come and share this experience.

This space was for Los Perros Locos. Now it has transformed to a private event space!…read more I was here for a movie night. They had $4 Salchipapas (fries), $5 Mexi-Max loaded hot dog, $1 mini (regular) Hot Dogs, $2 & $4 beers and complimentary popcorn with interesting sauce as a topping. In addition, they played a Spanish movie. I tried its waffle fries and they were good! A bit on the salty side but good nonetheless! The popcorn was delicious and had a unique topping added to it. They decided to just host private events from now on as opposed to selling hot dogs. I mean, I will miss it but I am glad the same space is still open! From what I can understand, they will hold movie screenings pretty regularly so definitely check it out if you can! The restaurant is pretty accessibly to several subway stations.

From a wedding guest point of view…read more Wedding was right before the December Storm. This is rated as one of the most expensive venues in NYC. Yes, the views are amazing, however the weather has to be just perfect. Especially if you plan to use the outdoor patio. Which, why wouldn't you? The space itself is not for large groups, wedding party size approximately 50. Plus the wait, bar & other service staff. The location is prime, if you plan to take a car, remember this is NYC & traffic is bad. You can probably walk faster than a cab or car service. Especially during the month of December. NYC gets more visitors in December than all year long. The venue has 2 bathrooms for women which is not good, however worked for this crowd. Think of this location as a once in a lifetime, only if you have the funds for this location. As guests we were thrilled to be invited to such a lavish wedding!

Thinking of getting married at 620 Loft and Garden? Here's a short review from a wedding…read morephotographer's point of view: If budget isn't an issue, this place is simply magical! Rooftop wedding in the heart of Manhattan with incredible views of St. Patrick's Cathedral & Rockefeller Center. What more could you ask for? It's makes for one incredible experience for not just the bride and groom, but for all of the guests who are always completely blown away. As close as it is to being perfect, there are few things to keep in mind: 1. If the weather doesn't cooperate (as it didn't during the wedding I shot there, when it rained right before the ceremony), the main garden does get quite soggy. It got bad enough that the bride had to walk around the guests via the outer walkway instead of through the middle. Definitely not the ideal way to make an entrance. 2. The inside is as simple as it gets, so it's really up to you(r planner) to make it something amazing. Basically, picture a clean, white room; a blank slate. If minimalism is your thing (as is with me), then you'll love it. Otherwise, plan to get creative! 3. Space. It's definitely not for large events. Even for smaller weddings, the cocktail hour gets quite cramped. But if you're planning on getting married here, you know that already. From a solely photographer's perspective, while it does make possible some absolutely stunning shots (one of my favorite images was taken here, which you can see in the Photos section), the size of the venue as well as the blank indoor space does limit how creative you can get. If you're looking to get a wide variety of photos, I'd highly suggest you stop by another location for or after the First Look and get portraits before heading to 620 Loft and Garden. If you're set on getting married here, a gallery of a real wedding from 620 Loft and Garden is up on my site, so feel free to check it out for some wedding ideas!
