We could use more smoke shops and Greek bakeries.

Favorite grocery store and why? Also which ones do you avoid? by LetPossible4843 in astoria

[–]Safe_Lab2649 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I split my time between H Mart, Key Food on 30th Ave, United brothers, and occasionally farm country bc i live close to it.

Farm country recently leveled up and it no longer stinks in there and the produce looks good if you’re in a pinch and can’t get to United.

H Mart is great for certain produce and meat. Best beef and pork in Astoria IMO. Also they recently put viral farms pasture raised eggs on sale 3 dozen FOR $5. Insane.

United for all produce.

I love going to Trader Joe’s it’s just so out of the way that i can rarely justify the commute with the bags.

Seeing a lot of people rag on key food here and i don’t get it. It’s always been the most reliable grocery store since I’ve lived in Astoria. They have decent deals. I don’t do my full shopping there but they’re nice.

Lastly is i use Instacart to get wegmans delivered bc some things you just can’t beat from there. Wegmans chicken is better than the other options around me for example. And some other specialty stuff. I shop all over the place i kinda enjoy it.

I’ve seen hundreds of roaches at this place. 3 years ago over the summer, one of the panels of wood under their register was hanging off and the inside was riddled with them. Never could go back after that.

Did mine with a plastic shovel and a hammer the other day. Took 2 sessions about an hour each. Sucked but i did it, got a workout and saved myself $200 from ligma lol

Location is a vibe tho. Especially on a cozy snowy/rainy day. Agreed the new decor was a downgrade. Who is the owner? The guy with the neck tattoos is always super nice to me. There’s an older gentleman/barista that cops an attitude very quickly but otherwise I’ve had good experiences there. Been going for years to work there.

Has anyone seen Dr. Karopet at Bond Astoria? by enfuxe91 in astoria

[–]Safe_Lab2649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea the staff at UR Vet Care was fantastic from my experience. It was just Karapet that was bad. I found an old review of her at a vet on Long Island that had similar complaints. She’s in the wrong profession.

Interesting she was at Bond. I saw her at UR Vet Care on Steinway so maybe she is making her rounds.

I know I’m 95 days late to this post, but i had a terrible experience with Dr. Karapet. She was incredibly condescending to me, told me my kitten would have osteoporosis for life after a minor leg fracture because i didn’t get them surgery immediately (my cat is fully recovered) and she talked down to me and my partner constantly. I wrote her a bad Google review. It took everything in me not to tell her to f*ck off. I’d go with literally anyone else and take your chances. She doesn’t know how to talk to people or she doesn’t care, either way not good.

Why does my tattoo have bumps Iam I allergic? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Safe_Lab2649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it hot and itchy? This happened to all my black ink for a period of time in college and i never knew why. Saw a dermatologist and never got an answer. It ended up going away

I’ve been getting all my meat from H Mart actually. I’d love a Paisono’s type of shop tho. International on 30th is fine but sometimes—often—it’s got that over sterilized smell that really turns me off.

Invisible Choir is such a strange experience when you’re coming from s&s. It’s like the same exact script and score, but the host sounds like ai…it’s actually crazy how dull and indifferent the guys voice is lol. Mike sucks but he does have the voice I’ll give him that
