Then after the Aqueduct

After the races, you may want to sample the local bar scene across the street in the South Ozone Park neighborhood...

Unfortunately, all of our favorites are gone. Was dismayed to see on Thanksgiving that Guy's of Vinegar Hill (on the left below)...



...is now this charmless-looking spot. And it wasn't open on Thanksgiving afternoon...



The worst, though. Several years ago, the Winners Circle on Rockaway Boulevard and 112th Street...



...became a custom-made kitchen counter shop...



...further along Rockaway Boulevard is the Tropical Nights, where you can watch live cricket matches. The Trop was also closed on Thanksgiving afternoon...
