Street Address: 37-32 75th St

Getting there: 7, E, F, R, V trains to 74th St–Broadway Jackson Hts–Roosevelt Ave THIS LOCK IS OUT OF ORDER UNTIL TUESDAY, JULY 6!
Once you arrive at 37-32 75th St: approach the front entrance of the building, but do not enter.
Your key will unlock: the display case to the right of the front door.
Guys…check behind the flag. You can leave a note there. So far, there’s only 2 notes.
the display case is a bit hard to open.
This was rather boring. There were no notes there. I live in the neighborhood and I have to say that if I trekked all the way out here just to unlock this lock, I would be rather annoyed. Still, remember that this is the neighborhood of FABULOUS Latin American and South Asian food. If you really want to come here, I suggest also doing your own street food crawl like the one recently organized here http://iwantmorefood.com/2010/07/01/2010-roosevelt-ave-street-crawl-recap/ (there are maps and suggestions on this website too).
The display case may seem hard to open at first but a little tug does the trick. If you look BEHIND AND CLOSELY, it’s really a window of opportunity ( take only one from the sak). We were pleasantly surprise. Don’t forget to leave a note.
I left my business card.
To make this project more interesting, make sure to bring something cool to leave for someone else to look at.
Because this is an “outdoor” site, you can go on Sunday
The true beauty as noted above is the neighborhood. Someone had cleared out any notes from behind the day I was there.
