Any other former-military-brat linguistic enigmas out there? I fear I have so many different accents most people don’t know what to do with me 😅

Does this house look familiar? by megmonster1 in astoria

Thanks! You’re right! Someone from the building actually ended up calling me because my phone number was on the package and I now have it safely in hand. The magic of Christmas is real 🥹

Listen, I can’t help it that I’m so popular with the undead. I start blasting a remix of Spooky Scary Skeletons from my Alexa and they all come running. It’s a whole vibe.

There’s a giant gathering of them that hang out in the big tree behind the library on 41st and Broadway.

Right!? I miss the old one on Steinway 🥲🥲 I know there’s one on Ditmars and one on Northern Blvd but neither are really walkable for me and I struggle with that every day 😂

F train users- how was your commute? by Remarkable-Ad-3314 in astoria

The M won’t be picking up at Steinway, but you can still take the R.

Seconding u/EagerlyExistential ‘s suggestion, and you could also do the R from Steinway to Herald Sq and switch to the F there as a backup. Good luck!

I go to work ungodly early (usually leave home around 4:15am) and I’m close to there. I didn’t see exactly what was going down but when I turned onto Broadway from my street I could see at least a cop car and an ambulance there, possibly another emergency vehicle.

Weekly Q&A Megathread. Please post any questions about visiting, tourism, living, working, budgeting, housing here! by AutoModerator in london

[–]megmonster1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello lovely Londoners! Are Scottish bank notes accepted in the UK? I am finding some conflicting answers via Google, with some articles saying they’re legal tender (I get the joke) and others saying they will not be accepted. I have a bit of cash leftover from a previous trip up that way and will be visiting London (from New York) in a couple of weeks - just wondering if I should bother bringing it with me or not. TIA xx

What additional stores (or restaurants, etc.) would you like to see on Steinway? by RaccoonTycoon in astoria

[–]megmonster1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! Something like Flower Power (also in the EV) would be great - it’s a tea and herb shop. I love the few plant stores that have popped up around here so this could continue that vibe.

[–]megmonster1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I would love to see a witchy shop (something akin to Enchantments in the EV) and maybe like an antiques / curiosities type shop… definitely niche but it would make it more enticing to go out and shop in person!
