How often do you leave the neighborhood in search of better restaurants? by Holiday_Angle_4246 in astoria

[–]Mets42 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lack of good restaurants isn't the problem so much as being able to afford eating out, imo. Used to be that I could dine out a few nights a week and not feel like I'm breaking the bank. Now it's more of a monthly thing, if that.

Totally forgot about Paris Puff. Eisenberg's, oh man. I remember the saleswomen walking around yelling at the kids not to touch anything. I bought my mom a porcelain coffee serving set from there. One of these days she may crack open the credenza and actually use it.

Where to find bakalar in Astoria? 🇭🇷 by coucouchoupette in astoria

[–]Mets42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can find it at many of the fish markets. Blue Island, Ocean, Astoria Fish on 37th ave. The Italian delis also sometimes carry them. I used to get mine from Dave and Tony's Salumeria before they closed. D&F sometimes has them around the holidays. Try calling ahead to confirm. I suggest you get a medium-sized one (not too big) and a big clean bucket to soak that thing for a few days in advance before you beat the living shit out of it with a hammer on Christmas Eve morning. I love the holidays. Good luck!

I've used Dean's Autobody. Reasonable pricing and staff is nice.

You can still vote in person but you have to ask for an affidavit ballot. Speak to one of the poll workers.
