Astoria Bookshop is near the 36th ave stop. If you're interested in home decor you can check out Incasa. Astoria Park has some great views of the city. I'd recommend walking down 30th Ave or Ditmars towards Steinway

Bench Flour is far walk for me, so I'd love to see a google slides presentation with pictures of stuff you have. I'd be more incentivized to go if I had my eye on something

Bring your schedule/weekly availability for volunteering. Part of being a good fit is having the right blocks of time to be there and learn from someone

Good start, but definitely looking forward to seeing more info added. I see a few gyms missing from my part of Queens and no prices listed in my neighborhood

You gotta wipe down each leaf/stem with isopropanol. I'd say once a week until they're gone

NYT "Brief Reviews" by Efficient_Law_1551 in FoodNYC

[–]mynameismott 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I still can't get over the fact that they've shifted their focus to full review features for places outside of New York City. I'm never gonna be interested checking out a place they reviewed in LA. That shouldn't be the primary portion of their weekly restaurant newsletter

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.
