Want to create a thread just for Queens. The NYC one seems to be very Manhattan heavy.

Corkage $15 per 750ml, no bottle limit.
Good foods and good ramen. Ramen has more noodles than the ramen restaurants in Manhattan.
I can add to that - right next door is Uncle Jack’s Steakhouse. $25 corkage, good stemware and decent steaks.
Got this one from member ArtF.

Very quiant and neighborly feeling Italian restaurant. I think the chef, Mario, previously worked at some famous restaurant in Manhattan. All staffs are pleasant. Food is good especially the grilled octopus.

Wednesday they have prefixe menu for $30. Appetizer, Entree and Dessert.

Sripraphai, post free corkage days, charged $10 -$15 per bottle (circa 2016, last time I recall going). Even with corkage, good Thai in NYC and your own wine is not bad.

Tara Japanese Cusine BYO No Corkage. Stemware is good. Amazing sushi and fun atmosphere. This was a favorite of Josh Raynolds.
