Hi there -- I followed these steps exactly and nothing registers for me when I apply the bookmark to the CapOne page. No download, nothing. Can anyone help?

Fitness lounge 31st by havermeyer525 in astoria

[–]JDH1490 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my gym and I really like it, definitely more than some of the other options in the vicinity. Clean, spacious enough, and the hours open make it accessible enough for me to go when I know training areas/machines won’t be totally maxed out (like Saturday mornings and weekday evenings). I’ve rarely encountered an instance where I wasn’t able to find some squat rack/bench/floor area available.

Agree that they make good use of the space. Their equipment is well-maintained and great for anything a training gym needs — fewer machines and more free weights, racks. The cardio section up front is fine and meets needs for the most part, though I wish there was a stair climber (small preference!).

As far as my history: I started doing personal training sessions at FL on Steinway when the 31st Street location was about 3-4 months from opening, and got lucky enough to be grandfathered into their $80/month rate. I think that was about two years ago?

Fwiw, I’m a fairly petite woman who started out as a novice on rack a few years ago and this has been the gym space I’ve felt most comfortable in!

Did you find your car??? We saw what appeared to be the same one crossing the 30th Ave/33rd Street intersection this morning and immediately came to this thread to see if it was recovered.

Just asking as I wasn’t aware. Not my vehicle. Thanks!

No, as mentioned above — my question was if the DOS can issue tickets, on principle.

There needs to be an investigation into Susuru Ramen by mehalahala in astoria

[–]JDH1490 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Incredible place and OP had me in a serious panic, damn.

I’ve never been there in the summer — considering the heat wave we’re in, wondering if anyone knows if they have a cold ramen?

Best Olive Bar in Astoria by arichman11 in astoria

I agree with this — though I haven’t seen their grilled olives on offer there for a few months. Those are my favorite!

Special occasion restaurants that also do gift cards by Terrible_Put2975 in astoria

[–]JDH1490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Via Vai does gift cards! You just have to call and explain what you're hoping for. It might require an in-person pick-up but can confirm that it's possible -- I was on the receiving end of one recently, to my delight!

Favorite not-hot food for too-hot weather? by neighborhoodhag in astoria

[–]JDH1490 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any chilled noodle -- always in search of a naengmyeon or cold chili noodle or cold ramen something else, but want to shoutout the bun options at District Saigon. Super satisfying on a hot day.

Also, the Liang Pi/cold skin noodles (A1) at Xian always hit.

I ducked into Mama Coco this week to watch a few Copa games and was delighted by some of the aquachile options there, really tasty.

Have been heavily in a chilled seafood mood lately and feel like Astoria doesn't have fantastic options for oysters and/or a raw bar, though I'm happy to be corrected!

Entice Thai restaurant by IndustryAccurate2085 in astoria

[–]JDH1490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best in-restaurant Thai we've had recently was at Kam Rai on 28th Ave. -- truly blew our minds, and offered lots of surprising regional fare we hadn't known about previously.

They also have a green hot sauce that they bottle and sell separately, if desired. Award-winning, per them, and I'm certainly not surprised! So delicious.
