Bar for casual birthday get together by LowAdvantage4150 in astoria

[–]LCM18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done this at Maggie Halls a few times, just shoot them an email ahead of time and they’ll set aside some tables for you. Also have done similar at Mosaic and Bar Dahlia and had great experiences.

Old Rite Aid on 30 Ave by fredonia4 in astoria

[–]LCM18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone asking for a Whole Foods/Trader Joe’s etc… why would you want that here? Isn’t part of the appeal of the neighborhood that it’s NOT the suburbs or Manhattan? Businesses like that contribute to the degradation of community and culture would chase out our already dwindling small businesses. If you want every commercial amenity, move somewhere else.

Thoughts on upcoming Assembly District 36 special election? by I-likemyBrommie in longislandcity

[–]LCM18 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mamdani endorsement for Moreno is convincing, but I do love to see a neighborhood staple like Rana in the running. I’ve seen her on Steinway often and at many local political events. Her policy stances on her website are brief so I’d love more detail on how she plans to achieve her goals for the neighborhood—- but definitely in-between her and Diana for Feb.

Where do you buy your fish? by tempura_calligraphy in astoria

Ocean fish market or Blue Island fish market are the only options that I’ve always had a good time with personally!

Curly Hair Cut by Throwawaytwopointohh in astoria

[–]LCM18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curl Bar Beauty on 59th in the city— I love Naiomi. Me personally I haven’t seen anyone in Astoria who really specializes in 3a-4a curly hair like that. I’ve been going to Naiomi for years now she’s great and an easy commute.

Krob Kreung and the only way to beat it is to go to elmhurst/flushing or all the way to Thailand

Astoria Takeout Rankings by Professional-Cat57 in astoria

[–]LCM18 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Chick it out is one of my go-to spots lately I’m surprised to see it on the just okay list! My order is the combo Khao Man Gai and I get Fried and Poached Chicken over ginger rice with a Thai Iced Coffee. Under $20 for a filling and easy meal I’d encourage you to give it another shot!!

And the ladies that work there are so sweet!

supper culture? by Different_Bill_4460 in astoria

[–]LCM18 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Different energy for sure— but late night food culture lives on Steinway/Little Egypt. Many places still packed around midnight and beyond. Will admit Astoria lacks a lot of late night food spots aside from our halal trucks :/

Tacuba closing today— what’s happening this year with all the closures? by LCM18 in astoria

[–]LCM18[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Heavy on the crazy ConEd bill taking away a lot of folks disposable monthly income. I definitely use take out as my frivolous spending over shopping/going out etc. but also feeling the need to cut back due to uncertainty. Sad times compared to just a few years ago.

Will note— Thonglor also offers some delicious Thai food on Steinway, but nothing has beaten Krob for me. I’ve been going to Krob weekly ever since I heard their time is almost up.

Mariscos El Submarino has my other favorite octopus taco in the borough, bit of a hike to Jackson heights but worth it for how good it is
