The Club returns to a perennial classic lunch stop: delicious Indian food at the Jackson Diner in Jackson Heights, Queens. Though today there are scores, if not hundreds, of South Asian restaurants in this part of Queens, Jackson Diner was one of the first Indian restaurants in Jackson Heights when it opened around 1982. There must be a reason why it is still open more than 40 years later, and we‘ll see whether the positive reviews on food blogs and from our members on prior visits are valid.
