@JeetKuneBao Welcome to NYC!!! Hope you brought along lots of PPE & Purel for the subway 
Unfortunately I don’t venture much to Queens. However I highly recommend checking out this gem of a blog from fellow FTCer @EattheWorldLA. http://www.eattheworldnyc.com/. Another resource for the Bronx Area. Vice channel’s F*ck, That’s Delicious series is an entertaining resource for some off the beaten path options around NYC. Eater NY is a great resource too, word of caution Robert Sietsema’s Chinese recs are highly suspect, they have not served me well 
…
Few areas I suggest exploring along the 7
- Jackson Heights - Little India
- Elmhurst - Thai
- Junction Boulevard - Mexican
- Check out Paparich in Flushing for your Malaysian fix & MK Durian for … durians
- Some info on Beef Noodles since you mentioned, perhaps check out Mama Lee in Bayside
- If the East Village branch is any indication highly recommend Szechuan Mountain House in Flushing
- All the local Koreans tell me Flushing is where you find the good stuff … Ktown in Manhattan is generally not great compared to LA. Although I do like Gopchang Story for offal dining.
Cuisine that’s less commonly found in LA that I’ve enjoyed in NYC are
- Pizza! Lots of good joints all over
- Eastern European - Polish, Ukranian, Albanian etc etc! Had some great Polish food recently at an unassuming spot - Polka Dot in Greenpoint. Frankly I’ve barely scratched the surface but definitely one category with lots of hits
- Puerto Rican - explore the Lechoneria and Cuchifritos joints
- Carribean, unfortunately made zero headway here thus far
- Bagels, Bialys & Smoked salmon
- Clams on a half shell are inexpensive in NYC
- Fancy Korean (Think Westside dining but in a Korean context)
- Rent a car someday and head to Edison, NJ for the best Indian mecca in the US
Check out some of my posts on this board over the past couple of years, although mostly Manhattan centric.
Just a few things to get the ball rolling …
