Every other store in that area is ALREADY a 99-cent store! I guess if there was a really big discount store with a variety of products it would be a good addition to the neighborhood, but another small 99-cent store?

The Q is great if you live closer to Manhattan. Very fast service in Manhattan with stops at the major transfer points like Union Sq, Herald Sq and Times Square. The new cars they've introduced on that line make it even better.

However since the Q is local in Brooklyn you might not enjoy it so much if you live farther from Manhattan since it makes a LOT of stops throughout Brooklyn. The B express, which covers the same route in Brooklyn, doesn't run on weekends and has less convenient service in Manhattan.

I would second southslope's recommendation of 2B Thai on Beverly Rd. We go there probably once a month. The place itself is very plain, but delicious food at great prices. Old Brick Cafe on Church Ave seems decent as well. I think there are more places on Ft. Hamilton Parkway, but we haven't checked them out as we live farther south.

The posting referred to "schnitzel in Coney Island" - I think it should be clarified that the article that is linked to describes a place on Coney Island AVENUE (in Midwood) not in Coney Island the neighborhood.
