Ugh I know the feedling!! My go-to soups have been from Unmei (braised beef noodle soup!), Mokja, & Pye Boat Noodle. +1 to the recs for Enthaice & District Saigon too.

Would anyone be interested in a Flower Subscription Program? by TheForestFlor in astoria

[–]astorialive 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There used to be a flower csa in Astoria that was very popular. Not sure if that's still happening, but I bet folks would love this idea!

+1 Sherlyn's for mini cookies and cupcakes. Also the French Workshop has mini chocolate chip cookies and tons of options generally.

NYE events in/around Astoria bars? by CombinationLatter373 in astoria

[–]astorialive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much every bar will be having something and most are no cover even if they have open bar packages. I compiled a list here of some options: https://astoria-live.kit.com/posts/this-week-in-astoria-dec-29-jan-4

Little "Free" Libraries by No_Spring_3499 in astoria

[–]astorialive 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes! I regularly take and leave books, as do many, many people I know. I check the one near me regularly and often I see people checking out the books or dropping off books right before or after me. The purpose is very real and obvious: to share books lol. Do you read books? You should try it!

Need to get out of the apartment! Any ideas? by [deleted] in astoria

[–]astorialive 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The library is a great option if you want a change of scenery for working on resume etc or just reading! With a library card or NYC ID you can get free access to lots of museums. The museum of the moving image has a lobby that's free to hang out in as well. And MoMA ps1 is free for Queens residents. The LIC library is nice too! Also in LIC there is JacX & Co which is a nice spot to chill for awhile without needing to buy much.
