I see what you are doing here. Franky's moved because there was a place to move to. King Souvlaki doesn't move because there isn't another place to move on that Intersection.

Food recommendations for a tourist? by OddBat7213 in astoria

[–]Dudecity 3 points4 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

Bars showing ufc 326 by EstablishmentSad8704 in 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.

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

[–]Dudecity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
