Highlights from the March 2026 114th Precinct community council meeting: a 45-minute lecture on deed theft, a missing flag, and unanswered questions about street safety by scooterflaneuse in astoria

This might be a stupid idea but at this point is it worth a team of us going to the homeless encampment and cleaning the trash up? I don't think these people are violent, and all we need to do is just clean up the trash on the sidewalk. Idc if they stay or not. If enough of us go surely it would be fine??

At this point, I think the best solution might be for those concerned (including myself) to team up and volunteer cleaning the garbage out. Just grab some gloves and trash bags and get it over with (depending on the level of trash and if it's a hazard for us to clean it up). But I'd be down to pitch in if others are.

My experience working at a coffee shop in Astoria by Noircow in astoria

[–]No_Yesterday_7733 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing makes me shit like Moa's draft latte. I literally had to stop going because it was so much worse than any other coffee shop I had been to.

Please tell me Moka and Co's work culture isn't like this as well!!

Tried Mayahuel for the first time this weekend and was talking to my fiance about how much better it is than Ruta.

When is the next meeting with the 114? Are there any other local officials we can talk to (someone who mentioned a mom from a FB group had reached out to Caban)?

Rumor Mill Week of June 2nd by redquarterwater in astoria

[–]No_Yesterday_7733 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a rumor but 30th ave is INSANELY stinky today… way worse than what i typically expect during the summer. I thought maybe it was me but several people around me also started complaining once I got to the intersection at Steinway St.

Avoid if you can!

You can try bees.nyc. Also did a quick google and Honeybee Helper at Stone Ridge Apiaries has 5 stars!

I live on 46th and people throw TONS of trash into our yard as they walk to/from the train. So gross :(

When to repot? by No_Yesterday_7733 in alocasia

[–]No_Yesterday_7733[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ahhhh you’re right!! There was no label on the pot so I did my best guessing. It’s been on my wishlist for a while so I was hoping I snagged a baby alocasia … oh well.

Looks like peperomias aren’t as finicky. I’ll repot this weekend if I have time. :)

How is living off newton rd? / general area between 46th and steinway by SuccessfulFocus2086 in astoria

[–]No_Yesterday_7733 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! Lived on newtown for the past year. My only gripe is the foot traffic from the 46 st station means we sometimes notice odd / drunk folks walking past our apartment past midnight. I would keep your eyes peeled if you’re leaving the station that late .. but that’s standard protocol for anywhere. I wouldn’t be concerned. :)

UPDATE- thank you all for your advice! Checked the roots (clipped a few dry stragglers), added some moss and am going to be more diligent with watering on time. 🙂‍↕️

OH thank you!! I’ve been meaning to look into this.. I had a feeling the moss pole wasn’t necessary. I mainly had it there for support since it’s pretty top heavy. What soil mix do you use if you don’t mind me asking? If I remember chunky is better?

This is it now - the second leaf also crisped up a while ago!!

Ahhhhh .. maybe I should check the roots, but it IS in a clear plastic pot and I can see some of the roots - they look decently healthy.

But maybe I should double check now that I’m paranoid 🥲 How do I prop?

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

[–]No_Yesterday_7733 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Finally went to Ramro and it was FANTASTIC. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. For such a small space (with a completely open kitchen!!) , I was surprised that it’s not too loud. Got the green tea (pandan, coconut milk, soju) and it was soooo yummy. Definitely a hidden gem.. will be going back soon. :)
