GALENTINE'S DAY is a celebration of female friendships. No matter what your relationship status, the bond you have with your besties is something none of us should ever take for granted. The women in our lives deserve to be honored and revered!
We will be gathering today for excellent Peruvian food in Forest Hills: KANTU 105-07 Metropolitan Ave Forest Hills, NY 11375 (718) 374-3464
***The restaurant has recently expanded into the space next door in a beautifully renovated venue.
Reviews: 4.5 *Great portions, good food and fast service. *The mojitos are the best I've ever had and if you combine that with the tostados and guacamole? Chef's kiss. *The Peruvian fried rice was delicious *Amazing authentic Peruvian food and drinks

***Please think about wearing a mask now when you are inside stores or the supermarket to keep you healthy since Covid and the cold/flu is going around. I am at school and the kids are sick all the time and made me sick too a few weeks ago. I have been wearing a mask every day now in school and when indoors in a crowded place. You don't want to cancel because you are sick if you can prevent it.
Warmly, ♥ Ivy
