The new year has already been
bustling for the Myrtle Avenue
business improvement district,
which saw three new and revamped
businesses pop up over the past
month.
The new openings included two
restaurants and a children’s party
palace.
CANTINA 33 (55-33
MYRTLE AVE.)
Cantina 33, a purveyor of Peruvian
fair, with a modern twist, recently
opened its doors to cocktail and
creative cuisine enthusiasts. The
restaurant offers a full bar menu
with selections of cocktails, wine
and beer.
Appetizers include ceviche and
avocado salad, and the entree menu
features Peruvian chicken skewers;
chaufa, a Peruvian take on fried
rice; and lomo saltado popular, a
traditional stir fry that combines
marinated strips of sirloin with onions,
tomatoes and french fries.
MIRCH MOOD (907
SENECA AVE.)
Mirch Mood, is a revamped version
of the very functionally named
Nepalese Indian Restaurant. The
management decided that they
needed to update their menu and
building to accommodate the shifting
tastes of the neighbrohood, so

they’re planning a menu with more
Nepalese flair and vegan recipes.
The new dishes will include
brunch options, vegetable pakora,
Nepali rotis, and soup momos–a
type of Nepali dumpling in homemade
broth. While they’ve installed
new signage and design elements,
restaurant manager Parash Kharel
said that the restaurant will be rolling
out the new menu over the next
few months.
JOYFUL PALACE (54-32 B
MYRTLE AVE.)
Ridgewood families got a new
attraction for young kids with the
opening of Joyful Palace, an indoor
playground that stretches over
10,000 square feet.
Mammoth wall art displays of Disney’s
Cars and Spiderman greet you
as you walk in the lobby, immersing
kids into a fantasy playground and
reminding adults that in this realm,
children reign supreme. The basement
playscape is a maze of tubes,
slides, ball pits and trampolines,
with a large private party room.
