From their IG story - loving the REAL fall drink menu change!

I was on my way to work and passed by this lady selling Mexican goods outside a deli. She had so many cute plates and mugs (could not resist picking a few up) and tons of incense sticks. Highly recommend checking her shop out, the lady says open every day and is located at Broadway & 38th Street.

Story from a few months ago but still pertinent. Yes, businesses should install ramps but there should be a guarantee somewhere that ramps will in fact go in.

I'm a learner driver and have been practicing around the neighborhood for the last few weeks ... am I crazy or do emergency vehicles use their lights and sirens to get through traffic?

It's happened to me twice this week alone; Ill be sitting at a light or stop sign and an emergency vehicle will appear (once a fire engine and once an ambulance) all of a sudden put on their lights and sirens, blow past me/run a red light and then as soon as they are through any kind of hold up, their lights and sirens turn back off. Is there another reason for this?? or are they really using their lights to avoid traffic and cut in line? If thats the case it should be so heavily penalized imo they're literally teaching people that sirens don't really mean emergency.

Pls tell me if I'm crazy

Is anyone else having issues with Verizon Fios in the area? The outage map has been inconsistent, but I haven’t been able to connect with the internet all day. I’ve tried troubleshooting the best I can, but now luck.

Edit: Specifically in the Steinway St.-Astoria Blvd. area. Thanks!

Whats going in at Frescos tonight?

Come grab some fall florals this Sunday at Rosalie’s :)

Hi everybody, does anyone have a nearby tailor they use regularly for simple alterations like reducing inseam length or cutting long sleeve to short sleeve? I would appreciate any recommendations for a place, bonus points if it has a spacious fitting room. Thanks!

I handed them to one of the park employees!

Want to treat my staff to something this week or next. Looking for an easy place to grab a box of pastries (or something) on near 31st/Ditmars where I get on the train. Not looking for anything too pricey, but hoping for something a little more unique/Astoria-representing than Krispy Kreme.

Does anyone have recommendations where I can donate a large quantity of books? I'm moving to a different apartment and need to lighten the amount of books I own. Any recommendations would be helpful. If you or anyone you know are interested in my collection, I can send you pictures and you're free to take what you wish! Thanks in advance all.

I’m looking for a carpenter who can make a custom build out for a closet and possibly a bed frame (wouldn’t be visible) that bolts on to a vintage headboard I’ve got. Looking at traditional listings I seem only to be finding extremely gifted design oriented crafts people with correspondingly high looking prices. I want the kind of thing that my uncle RIP would have been able to do for me—nobody in my life left like that.

I’ve never lived on a ground floor apt in NY. I’m on a quiet street. But if someone sat on another person’s shoulders, they could see into my apt. I’m still not used to feeling so exposed, I guess. I close my blinds and don’t sleep with window open. Am I being overreacting? Thanks!

Hey Astoria 🙌

Last night an unruly patron was kicked out of Madam Marie’s (I’m not sure of the exact details, I was informed by regulars when I arrived). He then showed up about 30 minutes later and brandished a knife and threatened the bartender and a few other people. He eventually left, cops were called and he was apprehended. Stay safe out there and watch out for one another.

This Friday night, Alt Side Parking will be playing the best of millennial divorced dad rock at The Wolfhound from 9:30-12:30. No cover!

Hi everyone!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a shop where I can get my laptop screen repaired?

Someone posted in this Reddit about how they will make your Halloween costume and I can’t find the post now :( any idea ??

Title says it all--I'm looking for the best restaurants in the area that let you pick your own seafood and have the staff cook it right there and then. Stuff like Astoria Seafood, Hamido Seafood, etc. It's hard to pick when there are so many different choices, so I'm curious about any other lesser-known places that people enjoy going to. Thanks in advance!
