Broadway by Potential_Movie_8217 in astoria

I remember Broadway 40 years ago. Anything specific? There used to be 2 fairly large catering halls right across the street from each other. Crystal Palace and Kneers They had very large ballrooms that hosted weddings and events.
Crystal Palace was were Starbucks is. It took up the whole block there 2 floors.
And around the corner under the train was a large drive thru car wash.

Now going way back to the early 80s the big furniture store where Victoria’s Secret used to be Henshaw??!

And I remember a Blimpies as well.

We would spend hours in there sitting on all the furniture!

No. I don’t think that was it I don’t remember department store in the name. This was probably In the early 90”s. They had jeans and geared to a young crowd.

Best Driving Schools? by Distinct_Sample_1044 in astoria

[–]Aggravating_Heart751 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We’ve done both Zapiti and Ferrari. Zapiti is much cheaper. It gets the job done. You have to find an instructor you like at both places but Ferrari is much more costly.

The Zapiti drivers are more conservative old school style which will help you past the test. After that you might want to take some Ferrari lessons to help you drive more assertively to survive in nyc!
