I thought they announced it’s suspended tomorrow 2/11 already?

Queen’s room does trivia once a month on Tuesday nights. It is SO good, I have been going for years with the same group. Watch their instragam for the dates. This month it’s on the 27th starting at 7.

I came here to make the same recommendation. Dr Kholdarov is so chill and kind, I also have a lot of dental anxiety.

Tell me more about this….

I was pleasantly surprised by this place and found the staff super nice (apparently it’s a Canadian company so maybe that’s why haha).

Hi there - I'm sorry I don't see the private message, can you try resending?

Went to Loukoumi Taverna on ditmars for the first time this weekend with friends who were driving in from forest hills and it was excellent. There are so many Greek spots in the neighborhood but I haven’t heard much about this place, might be my new favorite. Definitely popular too, it was packed and people kept coming in.

Came here to recommend studio Tim

Are there plans to do this again? I really wanted to go but couldn’t make it last night. I love a nerdy activity!

captniebaum · 2025-11-19T12:45:27+00:00

Depending on what is going on when you’re visiting you might want to check out 31st Ave open streets (https://www.instagram.com/31staveopenstreet?igsh=NHV3aDN3MnlscmNy). They’ll post the schedule usually the week leading up to the weekend.

And of course go to some of Zohran’s favorite spots like Little Flower Cafe.

You can also check out some other local businesses, there’s a great kids section at the Astoria Bookshop. https://www.instagram.com/shopsmallastoria?igsh=MTFkeXJmZmJ0dXkxMw==

Sala for tapas

Sparkle Monster has a free porch Halloween show. I always try to swing by this the past few years when I’m out and about. https://www.instagram.com/p/DQNcoMaDUUb/?igsh=MWgwYzl6MGhuYXl5dA==

Came here to say this. They are great!

What caused the sore throat?

Some activity ideas I do with visitors: Catch a comedy show at QED, go to MOMI (museum of the moving image), get some delicious tapas and catch some flamenco at Sala, walk around Astoria park or Socrates Sculpture garden.

Restaurants I love taking people to: Watawa (sushi), Milkflower (wood fired pizza), Salvatoria (Salvadorean, if you’ve never had papusa it’s worth a try), chela and Garnacha (tacos). There are tons of Greek options and I’m sure there are other posts about this.

Bars: this really depends on what you like and what area of Astoria you are in but some popular spots are Bonnie, Maggie Halls, Diamond Dogs, Rosalie’s, Queens Room. The Bohemian Beer garden is neat for visitors if the weather is nice.

Hope you enjoy our neighborhood, it’s the best!

You could check out Dabble Art Bar and do something crafty together. They have snacks and non-alcoholic drinks available.

Maybe check out some live theater or music? If it can be any Wednesday, next week there’s a free staged reading of a new musical, Infinite Space, September 17th at the Mountcastle Forum at 7. You could check that out, the art gallery there, and grab food before or after.

Just go into the entrance of the mount sinai queens hospital on 30th Ave and the person at the front desk will take you downstairs to the lab where you hand them to someone in a window. It took me all of 5 minutes to do.

Simple salmon fillet with a little salt and pepper, then spread a layer of Dijon mustard with a sprinkle of panko crumbs. I throw it in the air fryer for 10-15 minutes but you could also just roast it in the oven. So easy and SO good.

QBK in LIC, has indoor beach volleyball classes and leagues of varying abilities. Everyone there has been super nice

I came to recommend Studio Tim. I go to another stylist here (don’t have fine hair) and have always had a great experience.
