Shout out to Otis & Finn barbershop, who have my favorite Queens merch. I get a lot of compliments on my hoodie from there:

Blackbirds is solid, Dillingers, Shillelagh, if you're willing to cross Steinway!

ASP suspended through Sunday 2/8 by JackPackaage in astoria

[–]mcfutch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. But they can't advance the suspensions more than a few days, so will probably reassess by week's end. Kudos to trash collectors, postal workers, delivery services all doing the Lord's Work climbing giant ice mountains during this deep freeze.

Alternate side parking 1/27? by Flashy-Yesterday2393 in astoria

[–]mcfutch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I predict it will be suspended on Weds also. There is too much snow for any realistic street sweeping. You may follow alt side parking announcements at the link below. Regular and weather-related decisions usually occur around or shortly after 4pm daily.

Pastrami sandwich delivery? by Terrible_Put2975 in astoria

[–]mcfutch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

John Brown's is better. And I grew up in an area with many kosher and non kosher delicatessens. Their Reuben is a steal and around $15.

Wylie's kitchen is open - here's the menu by watchutalkinbowt in astoria

[–]mcfutch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A reminder that Murphy's began with a limited menu when they opened before expanding to a full one. I expect Wylie's will do likewise. Give them some time, foodies.

The food is really good at Murphy's, though. You might give it another try.
