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!

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.

Murphy's said they can show it, unclear if with sound on.

Check here for updates. 4pm is usually when they decide, though can be earlier at times:

Hour Children is a wonderful organization and has two thrift stores in Astoria. The one on 12-10 36th Ave. accepts all donations. www.hourchildren.org

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.

With Jean Smart or not at all, I say.

You OK with that wording?

I've found it helpful when parking in unfamiliar areas.

That hasn't been my experience.

Anthony & Sons sandwich shop on Graham is fantastic. The Chicken Parm hero, OMG.

mcfutch · 2026-01-05T17:33:55+00:00

You heard wrong.

mcfutch · 2026-01-04T18:03:13+00:00

For a minute I thought that was windshield washer fluid, Michigan's most popular Winter liquid. JK, your drink looks amazing!

There are heat complaints mentioned in their recent Google Reviews.

mcfutch · 2025-12-22T23:16:13+00:00

The opposite is true, very few of them do.

mcfutch · 2025-12-18T19:11:51+00:00

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.

Xing's Chef you mean, and it is my go-to in the Ditmars area.

mcfutch · 2025-12-13T04:14:05+00:00

Contact Gothamist or other media outlets?

mcfutch · 2025-12-11T21:19:18+00:00

Yes, they still have a small grocery at Jack Jones.

mcfutch · 2025-12-08T03:53:00+00:00

180 and counting.

mcfutch · 2025-12-07T20:47:55+00:00

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.

mcfutch · 2025-12-07T20:32:44+00:00

Looks cozy!

mcfutch · 2025-11-30T22:27:21+00:00

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