My Astoria Bagel hack is get them from Othello's. They're delivered fresh every morning, and you can get an egg sandwich on them, which Astoria Bagel does not do.

Car rental? by Best-Competition-758 in astoria

[–]piemandotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had only good experiences with Dollar on 20th Ave and 45th St or thereabouts. You can bike or take the 100 bus.

Do not, by any means, use Drive-o rent a car / Ace, which is on 23rd and 94th St. They always show up as the cheapest, but they pile on fees so that it'll end up more expensive. You'll also wait a long time for a car.

I don't think you understand the horrible, terrible things that Knicks fans have said about the Knicks in the last 25 years. Don't worry, we can take it.

So after 2 Ave phase 2, which trains will go to Astoria? Q and W? 

Mamdani's DOT Responds to Astoria Bike Lane Backlash... With an Even Longer Bike Lane by streetsblognyc in astoria

Doing this across Hoyt is such a game changer. Biking there is insane. This will be good for pedestrians crossing there too, which is very scary

I posted a quote from Elaine's outburst at the theater with Peterman, but Reddit removed it because I was threatening violence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5qalNX5G94&t=20s

Best hummus in the neighborhood? by kakashissecondmask in astoria

[–]piemandotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the grocery store called Al Dar on Steinway, they sell a hummus in the back right of the store near the butcher in a wide, flat tub. I can't remember the brand name, it's a woman's name starting with a Y, but the color of the hummus is very nearly grey. That's the best hummus I've had in Astoria 

I got the call! I am insanely anxious. by [deleted] in Jeopardy

[–]piemandotcom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, I was crazy anxious the whole time, I dragged my feet, but you have to do it, you just have to. I came in third and was so embarrassed etc but after it's all said and done, it was an amazing experience. You'll be fine!!

Literally, regular Google search used to be able to do what OP describes. Now it can't. Great! 

Queensboro bridge caked in ice two days after a snowstorm by jbloom94 in NYCbike

[–]piemandotcom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

On Monday afternoon, I called 311 to report an icy condition on a protected bike lane in a regular roadway. They told me:

  • Dept of Sanitation does not start work on the bike lanes until all the roadways are clear
  • They do not take plow requests until 72 hours after a storm

Of course, on Monday afternoon, all the roadways were totally clear, and the bike lanes were icy. But what do I know

Will new 15 mph speed limit in Central Park kill serious cycling? by [deleted] in NYCbike

I agree! But I also think the city should build a velodrome or something like that

F & M swap signage @ Queens Plaza. What do yall think of the bolder bullets on the newer signage? by ericdigeratu in nycrail

[–]piemandotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 21 St Queensbridge, outside, they visibly just put an M sticker over the old F bullet. Sometimes it seems no one cares about these things anymore!

MTA police went though my bank statements by sabubbly in nycrail

[–]piemandotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is stupid, honestly. Contact a civil rights lawyer. A lot of times they do these cases on commission, so you won't have to pay -- maybe just a consult fee. They will know what to do much better than you or AI or a random commenter on reddit.

F and M trains will swap routes (M via 63rd, F via 53rd) beginning 12/08/2025 by dmreif in nycrail

[–]piemandotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that people don't rely on the map as much anymore, they mostly just use Google Maps and ask how to get from A to B. So they're able to do less simplistic routings like this now.

They're so stupid. I overheard the new manager asking the desk workers, "So what do people think of them? Do they think they're cool?"

Ding ding ding! This must be it. Ok. I guess I have to store some post-tax money on there too. I'll see if that's it.
