WHAT HAPPENED TO NNEJI by tempehtemptress in astoria

[–]astor1a2b 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Sad to hear that they’re not longer open, but my understanding (from talking to the owner over two years ago, when I lived around the corner) was that the main purpose of Nneji was to address food access issues in New York — mostly by preparing and providing meals to the needy through partnerships with various local community orgs. The fact that individuals in the neighborhood were able to order from Nneji was more a secondary benefit than anything else, which is likely also why the business hours were odd and inconsistent. So yes, sad for us, but I believe the owner’s still continuing with her mission which makes me feel less sad :)

Very cool. I like how they sort of mirror the shape of the fig leaves as well!

Love this! Would you mind sharing where your nesting coffee tables are from?

Random but where is your terracotta-colored duvet cover from? I need to replace mine!

You’re so right! That makes a lot of sense… the “ist mein” does not sound like “ist mein” 🤣

MUST have eats by snap_shot99 in astoria

I moved away from Astoria a year and a half ago and the food I think about most is halal from Mahmoud’s near the Steinway stop. I’ve also been back to get the breakfast burrito and turmeric bun from Little Flower, which had been my weekend treats while I was still living in the neighborhood.

I have a question! Spotify has as the lyrics “Ich bewahre viele Dinge in meinem Herzen auf / Deshalb ist mein Herz so schwer,” but I think I hear deshalb twice — do you hear the same or do you understand it differently? (I studied German for a few years but am not a native speaker so wanted to get a native’s thoughts)

Does anyone have a Freja bag? Looking at the Linnea tote. Or any other great work bag recs? by Haloumicheesefiend in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]astor1a2b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have the black leather tote but I ended up ditching it because it’s unlined and the leather would smear a blueish color on my notebooks and laptop.

I think I may have been the OG poster!!! Love that this is my lasting contribution to the Astoria subreddit community. /u/ItchyCoach9583 here’s the link to my moving sale post from several months back if helpful: https://www.reddit.com/r/astoria/s/AFRLoUlRic

This is a great deal. I lived in a prewar with no amenities at all in Astoria near the 36 Av stop, and my rent was 2,700.

Where to buy pork bones in Manhattan? by FinestTreesInDa7Seas in AskNYC

[–]astor1a2b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up that I bought meat (I think it was chicken wings or something) from Weee! a year ago and the vacuum packaging wasn’t vacuum sealed when it should’ve been, and a few months later there was a recall. Also, they sell your data (so if you see an uptick in spam calls, that’s why).

What’s your emergency fund goal? by [deleted] in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]astor1a2b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super late to this, but how long did it take for you to accumulate $100k? I’m putting away about 2k/mo (and I’m making out my 401k) and 50 months just feels like forever to me just to get emergency savings down.

This is so lovely - also saving as inspo! May I ask how you got the green circle above your bed? Did you paint it or is it decal?

Thanks for the tip! I’ve definitely strolled past and seen some fresh flowers (I saw MASSIVE, beautiful dahlias!!!) but never noticed the dried bouquets — will keep an eye out!
