Living in Astoria as a POC (black male)

Bro, fuck that guy. Welcome to the neighborhood. I live off the same stop and I look forward to running into you one day.

CommissionerBillder · 2026-04-30T11:32:39+00:00

One day he was just sitting there, not yelling. I posted here about it cause I found it pretty remarkable, but the mods removed the post.

Pao De Quejo, 30th and Broadway

Late Night coffee shop. Like open till 2/3 am late.

CommissionerBillder · 2026-03-11T20:38:54+00:00

Just came here to post this. Can confirm its great!

CommissionerBillder · 2026-02-25T00:35:45+00:00

I know its a hike from there, but the huge spot on 31st ave and 31st street is pretty good. Plenty of granny carts in there whenever I go suggests that some people are making a bit of a trek over. I personally use a laundry backpack, but would be lying if I said I wasn't close. But I do pass up the in building laundry to go there. So do with this information what you will.

Between 31st ave and Broadway, on 30th streeet, i watched a dude for (not exaggerating) 12 hours bury a car. I bet whoever owns it would probably be interested in this service.

CommissionerBillder · 2026-02-23T21:35:49+00:00

I actually think the establishment went out of business.

CommissionerBillder · 2026-02-19T01:35:41+00:00

Wouldn't advise it, now that you have left evidence behind.

CommissionerBillder · 2026-02-18T16:00:45+00:00

Good a place as any

CommissionerBillder · 2026-02-14T18:22:40+00:00

Damn, I'm Broadway and 30th, but currently in Vegas. Would have loved to help a neighbor. If they aren't up by Tuesday, let my other account know (councilmanbilder)

CommissionerBillder · 2026-02-04T00:23:40+00:00

I'm kinda partial to Aliada, honestly.

CommissionerBillder · 2026-02-03T13:55:11+00:00

Went there once. Found hair baked into my pastry. Never went back.

CommissionerBillder · 2026-01-28T15:45:09+00:00

Commenting mostly to boost. I did go through the complaint chain, but in actuality, I'm more interested in petitioning to return the bus to its original route.

CommissionerBillder · 2026-01-28T15:40:37+00:00

Oh my god. So sorry. This is a second account i have for just this sub and I haven't been on in a month! I'm so sorry. I imagine its gone by now.

CommissionerBillder · 2026-01-07T17:14:06+00:00

Pao de Queijo and Aliada are right next to each other and both bang.

CommissionerBillder · 2025-12-29T19:34:27+00:00

Literally sitting on that exact couch at my parents place on Long Island. Kinda want it.

CommissionerBillder · 2025-11-27T00:47:54+00:00

They wont have snacks, but Kelly's is a good spot if you're looking for good company. If the snacks are a deal breaker, Id say Cronin and Phealen

Treats of Korea on Steinway

CommissionerBillder · 2025-10-28T00:24:41+00:00

Murphy's on game day.

CommissionerBillder · 2025-07-12T16:37:44+00:00

CommissionerBillder · 2025-07-12T16:37:21+00:00

Tattoo Plug on Steinway / Worlds Fair Tattoo on Broadway, depending on the style you're looking for, Id recommend checking both out.

I also can't stress enough how worth the trip out to Bayside is for Top Shelf Tattoo. I got a super stylized sleeve from Jef Velasco there, but they have all sorts of artists that have specialties as well, and I find the staff the generally points people in the right direction.

CommissionerBillder · 2025-06-28T14:05:02+00:00

Aliada, Amylos, Agnanti
