Looks like I’ll have to go to the Bronx. I wanted to let all my astorians goodbye. I will miss this community. I really do want to stay here but there wasn’t an opportunity to do so😔

Question as per the title! Thinking of moving to Astoria (9min walk from Steinway station). Work in midtown east, so would take either R or M trains, or N/W. How reliable are these trains? My job is not flexible with being late at all. Thank you!

2 FDNY vans, an ambulance, 2 cop cars and 2 armored SWAT-looking vans with officers in helmets. Anyone know what's going on?

Anyone know what that insanely loud music at 4:50 ish AM was on the corner of 30th Av and 38th Street? Have been living here over a year now and it was my first night being actually awoken by my apartment vibrating.

I’m always trying to support local businesses as much as possible and discover new spots in the neighborhood

Dudes of Astoria,

After a 3 year relationship has come to a close, I have found myself dudeless and in need of some dudes. Primarily to drink with on the weekends (or weekdays) in public places.

If you:

- Identify as a dude (spiritually)

- Are 32, give or take 10 years or so

- Like to drink, perhaps to excess, in bar or bar-like settings

- Find entertainment in talking shit/expressing opinions (however unpopular)

- Utilize peer pressure tactics to convince your dudes to come out OR are vulnerable to such tactics

- Consider yourself to be a pretty good dude

Then holler in this thread and let's get beers

Or am I only ordering it after indulging in a little edible treat?

There is something about the pad kee mao at Nur Thai that is just unbelievably good. It has a certain umami flavor that I feel is recognizably different from a lot of other places? Maybe it’s the fish sauce they use or something, but the past few times I’ve gotten it (with beef) it has been exceptionally good. It’s hard to place the difference in flavor exactly though.

Additionally, Nur Thai is a decent spot, but I never see it praised as highly as other Thai places around here, so I feel like I’ve kind of become an unreliable objective arbiter of its quality since I’ve already decided I personally enjoy it so much. Like, it’s become that dish that’s so good that you’re kind of hesitant to go somewhere else in case the food isn’t as good and then you’re missing out.

Community, I’m begging for you to weigh in on whether I’m bugging, or if their pad kee mao actually does bang. I’m going to keep eating it regardless, but I’m just itching to know

Anyone lived in the apartment above sweet Afton? My friend is considering and he is wondering what’s the noise level like on the weekends? They want him to sign a two year lease so I wanted to ask the question here so he can make an informed decision. The apartment is facing the street.

Room & Board couch, 96” long, machine washable covers. Dog not included.

Don't dream it, be it - at the Court Square Theater in LIC.

I recently moved to Astoria from Chicago, and while I love the neighborhood and the food options, I haven't been able to find a place for a good ham and cheese croissant. I know it's an oddly specific request, but does anyone have any good recs?

We were walking to the grocery store and saw this cafe was having their soft opening, they will also be there tomorrow 10/18

We got the blueberry marzipan latte, latte de olla, and the carrot cake latte. Blueberry marzipan was pretty good but the latte de olla was amazing and the carrot cake latte was one of the best coffees I’ve had in a long time like maybe ever? All syrups made in house!

Family run operation! So once I tried the carrot cake latte and was blown away I was more than happy to support and get the latte de olla and was soooo pleasantly surprised. If you’re around tomorrow, support them and stop by! Excited for this place to be officially open soon :)

Before/after. I’ll probably end up planting things for next year. The sunflowers were dead, and a ton of trash accumulated over the year… I know who owns this building, and they’re aware of my cleaning, but they don’t take care of the building and have allowed it to become a pigsty.

I work Saturday programs at a public school and they end up throwing out a lot of bagged breakfasts and lunches. Is there anywhere I could donate or leave these for people to take? I feel so bad watching all of the food get thrown out!

I just got home around 3am today and hear a helicopter overhead and saw 15+ police officers and 8 or 9 squad cars at the corner of Astoria Boulevard North and 32nd Street.

Does anyone know what happened?

Just called and their number’s not in service, I live a lil too far to take a chance and see for myself.

OK, posting again because first person didn’t come. Children’s adjustable height chalkboard/blackboard available for pick up. I am located on 46th St. between 20th Rd. and 20th Ave. As you drive from 20th road to 20th Avenue, I’m on the left side. It will be in the front yard right inside the gate.

💕my mom and i got carried away corcheting on this rainy day 🪡 and made too many of these airpod cases bags/mini pouches 😬 sharing the extra we made if anyone wants to snag for $7 each 🎀

Has anyone used a physical therapist in Astoria (or LIC) for rehab post-achilles rupture? Had surgery to repair it and need to start PT relatively soon. Also open to general PT recommendations--I believe my surgeon will give me a protocol to give to whatever physical therapist I choose. I'd love to find someone on the Q69/Q100 bus route but it's not required.

Thanks in advance!!

Started with Octopus pastor taco (wow) and the tuna tostada was even better. Perfect balance of spice, salt, acid, and creamy from the guac.

Going back bc I want to try more stuff.

We put a free dresser on the street between 26 and ditmars if any interest. There are also night tables though they are not in as good of shape as the dresser.
