Dining Out

Blue Moon

If quality Japanese cuisine is what you’re looking for, be sure to make a trip to Blue Moon Japanese Restaurant in Woodland Park. Here you will nd pleas-ant waitstaff serving up excep�onal cuisine in an upscale se�ng.

The interior is extravagantly decorated, and the menu is quite lengthy. Sea-food, chicken, vegetable, beef, and sushi op�ons are offered and are all avail-able without MSG. The prices are a bit higher than expected; however, the regulars say you'll be glad you spent the money.

The Leaning Tower of Pizza

The Leaning Tower of Pizza is a quaint pub style restaurant located at 2635 Park Street. They are known for their bo�om-toasted, thin-crust pizza topped with quality fresh mozzarella, crushed tomatoes, and basil. If you add a couple of classic toppings to that, you can't go wrong.

This upbeat eatery has taken the staple food of Queens, NY, and made it a culinary treat that's hard to beat. You will not be disappointed by a pizza lunch or dinner. The price is right, the service is dependable, and the taste will be something you will soon return for.

Sandwich Sensa�ons

This small shop has been in the area for over 30 years, which proves that Sandwich Sensa�ons lives up to its name. This shop makes excellent sand-wiches that are hard to nish because they are huge! They are known for their special garlic and herb sauce included on most of their sandwiches that makes any plain sandwich into an incredible delight. We recommend the tur-key and Swiss with the Apple Salad!

The only downfall to this spot is the long line that develops each weekday between the hours of 11am and 1pm. Unfortunately, they do not take call-ahead orders. If you go, be prepared to wait, but if you have the �me, you will nd it is worth it.
