Nepali Bhanchha Ghar’s recognition as one of The New York Times’ 100 Best Restaurants in New York City is a proud moment for Jackson Heights.

For Chhaya, this is also a reminder of why our small business work matters. Restaurants like Nepali Bhanchha Ghar are part of the social and economic fabric of our neighborhoods. They create jobs, preserve culture, build community, and make our commercial corridors feel like home.

We’re grateful to have supported Yamuna Didi over the years, and we’re proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition alongside her and the community that helped make Nepali Bhanchha Ghar what it is.

Congratulations to Yamuna Didi and the entire Nepali Bhanchha Ghar team.

Tenants at 89-20 161st Street are fighting back against neglect and displacement.

After more than a year on rent strike, they’re demanding the repairs they deserve, lasting affordability, and a future rooted in tenant and community control, not another abusive landlord.

The tenants united will never be defeated.

Chhaya joined and housing advocates at City Hall to support the reintroduction of COPA.

COPA would give community land trusts and nonprofits a better chance to save at-risk buildings and keep them affordable.

After Mayor Adams vetoed COPA, we are back with our partners to keep fighting for housing that communities can control.

Proud of our own Jess Balgobin for speaking at the rally and standing up for our communities.
