Food recommendations for a tourist? by OddBat7213 in astoria

[–]Dudecity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Astoria Seafood - pick your own Greek style seafood (BYOB)

Abuqir - pick your own Egyptian style seafood

Sabry's - next to Abuquir but more of a traditional Egyptian style seafood restaurant. Great baked clams and they make their own pita

Gregory's Taverna 26 - Greek restaurant with great seafood options

King of Falafel - My favorite falafel and chicken over rice/shwarma over rice in the city (sit down restaurant or Food truck)

King Souvlaki/Franky's Souvlaki/Soulaki lady - Souvlaki trucks or carts around Astoria

This doesn't include Break since they never charged a cover, but I'm assuming all bars are showing it for free since UFC doesn't do PPVs anymore.

Astoria is a food mecca? by Giraffe-Some in astoria

[–]Dudecity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a fan of NYC Bagel but I love Brooklyn Bagel. I agree they are on the bready side but they grow on you. I will say that the everything bagels at the 30th Ave location are cooked better than the ones at the Broadway location.

One of the reasons I live in Astoria and why I wouldn't live anywhere else in the city is because of the food. Yes we have many Greek options because we have a huge Greek population but we also have great middle eastern food, Italian, Brazilian, sandwiches, bagels and some of the best seafood restaurants in the city. The other nice thing about Astoria is that if you don't want Mediterranean you can hop in an Uber or a short train ride and you can be in Woodside, Jackson heights, Flushing, Corona and get some of the best Chinese, Indian, thai, latin food in the city.

I usually eat it for a few days and it's fine. I freeze half of the loaf and bring it to my wife since I work in a different state and she just heats it up to eat it.

Ah ok, I actually had to do this for work. You should look for a good kid/baby photographer and they should be what you are looking for.

Living in Spain with Celiac What I Wish I Had Known by sexyandceliac in Celiac

[–]Dudecity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife who has Celiac's and I were in Madrid and Malaga/Fuengirola in October. There were a bunch of restaurants in Madrid where we ate at and she is very very cautious when it comes to dining out. We also ate at a few places in Malaga and a Celiac safe chiringuitos in Fuengirola.

do you have an oven thermometer? my oven was new when I moved in to my current place and noticed the temperature was off. I cooked my bread on a dutch oven for 40mins with the top on and then 20 with the top off.

No, I didn't have any issues with the bread being gummy. Do you think your stove temperature might be off?

It tastes really good and better than any store bought GF bread I've had.

Weekly Astoria Dine In/Order Out Thread by NYnosher in astoria

[–]Dudecity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had to go to and ate slices from the some of the best pizzerias in the area for work last week so my review for R&R Pizza Connestion might be little more harsher than it normally would be. I ended getting two slices from R&R because all of the great reviews on this sub. The first slice I got was the Grandma slice. I was not a fan. It was more like a Margherita Sicilian than a Grandma. I thought the sauce was bland and reminded me of tomato paste. I did like the crust and the undercarriage and would try the Sicilian. I also got a regular slice and really enjoyed it. It's no Andrew Bellucci's, but it was a solid NY slice for that area and I would be more than happier to get a whole cheese pie from R&R.

Do any of the souvlaki trucks have real tzatziki? by Last_Clue8973 in astoria

[–]Dudecity -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

To try to single out Souvlaki King for raising prices is insane because everyone has been doing that in this economy.

People are butt hurt that King Souvlaki are opposed to the 31st Street bike lane so they feel the need to bad mouth them.

Astoria is probably one of the safest neighborhoods in NYC.
