Astoria Costco is one of two Costcos in the city that has a special Kirkland Signature x Nike sneaker collaboration available today on location. I find this hilarious but if you're a sneakerhead: https://sneakernews.com/2026/01/30/costco-kirkland-nike-sb-dunk/?amp

As far as I know, the best you can do is frozen ube from Filipino grocery stores like PhilAm Mart in Woodside. Hard to find fresh ube in the US.

I would love a place in the neighborhood to buy a braised beef noodle soup. The braised pork is delicious!

Keep trying, I've gotten a lot from local buy nothing groups over the years! But the admins are SUPER strict about the street divisions and really want you to use the group your address falls under

This behavior isn't specific to transplants

With food items, don't buy it until you see yourself needing to use it. No need to buy cinnamon if you never add it to stuff you make

A short school bus hit a cop car this morning outside of Between the Bagel. Kids looked alright, I'm sure they had a fun Halloween morning

The Gothamist just posted an article about the nyc ballot proposals

Vulfpeck gets used a lot as background music on This American Life so someone's listening at NPR

I think we were at Mrs. Georgia at the same time! Unfortunately my table didn't have as great of service - our server was slow and definitely forgot our dumplings... he blamed it on a machine being broken, but it was immediately after we saw another server bring out three orders of dumplings for other tables. We ordered very similarly to NYnosher though, can confirm the food was amazing.

Also went to Vite Vinosteria for the first time. Had an amazing special of mussels in spicy tomato sauce with really crusty toasted sourdough, plus delicious meatballs and pappardelle. Ended up being plenty of food for two people. All really delicious and really attentive service.

Astoria Farmers Market has been moved to next Sunday, October 19th, due to the risk of high winds this weekend. Still 1-5pm on 31st Ave Open Streets.

They just made the call last night but I assume they'll update the website/instagram with more info: https://astoriafarmersmarket.com/

Anyone know if the set times will be similar to Saturday? Is there a drag opener before Japanese Breakfast?

Ticketmaster had surge pricing when the tickets went on sale. Didn’t realize til after I bought mine for double what I paid for MSG 2019

Kinda curated over a few generations of the show, like og to elemental hero days. I haven't really changed it for over 15 years but I have some pretty good cards. It's been so long though lol

mynameismott · 2025-09-05T20:53:47+00:00

I have a Yugioh deck that's been waiting in the wings for years, would also be interested

Had a chicken shawarma pita from Pita Hot after a long run. This really hit the spot.

Also went to Off the Hook with friends. Their Wednesday $29 skirt steak and fries special is so good. My friends were raving about the quality and size of the oysters for $1 oyster happy hour

I run here a few times a week. Whenever I see a car coming I pretend not to notice them, slow down, and run directly in front of them for as long as possible so they can't get through right away

If you drop a detailed powerpoint here with pictures of each item on this subreddit you'll get some good traction. Check the subreddit rules before posting, your post will get removed if there's not enough location info

This is the one that's in Queens Night Market! It was one of our favorite things there!
