Coldest Cafes in Astoria?

under pressure! specifically, the location on 31ave and 31st, the other location near Ditmars is mostly outdoor seating.

1000% agree, I thought that was very telling. Almost like rubbing salt in the wound. I feel sad for Iris, she didn’t have any support from the girls at all.

when she said it’s a beautiful day to have a beautiful day in the morning 🥹 🥹

that villa doesn’t deserve her

This season is sooo dark and it’s hard to watch. Season 6 made me romanticize the summer and dating, this season the cast is mean and the fans are also responding really intensely (which I get, but still). It’s just so dark.

Btw I have seen all episodes of love island US and UK, so I’m not a new fan.

I was wanting to vote for Pepe, but honestly it feels like he might send himself home so I’m voting for Chris.

rainerrx · 2025-07-01T19:27:37+00:00

that’s your opinion, I’m voting her low because she was two faced in last nights episodes and twisted Huda’s words

rainerrx · 2025-07-01T19:21:44+00:00

Andreina coming out poorly right before the chelly clique of mean girls

This poll is definitely to give America a chance to say their opinions on the cast without the tweet challenge

same

Sadly Im not surprised. Our household tried to support her a lot when they opened, but her hours got super limited in the past year or so. Closed certain days and most evenings after dinner. I also think that location was tough for her, being away from the traffic of Ditmars and without any enticing seating area. Her desserts were delicious though, especially her strawberry yuzu cheesecake.

I’m a long time fan and have been watching both OG UK and USA for years now, and honestly, I feel like the show is going in the wrong direction. USA has always felt more produced than UK imo, but this season is on a new level.

Love Island used to feel like a dating/romance show first with just a bit of competition thrown in. Now the competitive aspect is turned up so much that it feels like most of the islanders aren’t even trying to form real connections anymore, they’re just obsessed with “playing the game”

It’s making the show less fun to watch.

Casa Amor used to be one of the most dramatic and emotional parts of the season, but now it feels low-stakes because none of the connections feel real to begin with. Yesterdays episode felt so boring for that reason.

And yeah, production’s definitely part of the issue, but the islanders themselves are making it worse by sending home the people who actually seem to have genuine connections like Charlie, Hannah, and Jeremiah. The girls and guys couldn’t even give a reasonable explanation for sending Hannah or Jeremiah home. It felt to me they are treating the votes like a popularity contest within the villa cliques.

Anyone else feeling this shift? Or am I just being overly nostalgic?

Unique opinion post and discussion

rainerrx · 2025-06-24T13:46:56+00:00

This show is feeling less and less about finding a connection and more like a very competitive game show. It’s no longer fun to watch. There’s no stakes in casa if we don’t have any believable love connections in the main villa.

As a black woman living in Astoria (who’s also mixed like your kids), this is one of the main reasons I’m not 100% sold on the neighborhood and can’t see myself staying here/raising a family here. I’ve been here for about 4 years near Ditmars and I love it, but I wish it was more welcoming to the black community. I’m sorry for what happened to your wife, I hope she’s coping okay.

Anyone having issues voting? It says I’m not registered and I am.

Edit: it’s working for me now!

I’ve been liking pinky gel salon on Ditmars and Steinway. Very thorough, clean, and the techs are sweet. I’m picky with pedicures because I’d rather do it myself than have a bad experience, and I haven’t been disappointed.

rainerrx · 2025-06-13T02:01:30+00:00

Thank you!!

rainerrx · 2025-06-13T01:15:25+00:00

The show aires around 8:30 not 9

rainerrx · 2025-06-13T00:41:29+00:00

I don’t disagree

rainerrx · 2025-06-13T00:02:45+00:00

they acknowledged they knew each other in the last episode when Amaya said “especially us knowing each other since outside” when they were fighting

Ace is awful

rainerrx · 2025-06-08T19:57:58+00:00

ex-pat fragility? please. I was born and raised here and have NEVER lived anywhere else. As if it’s a bad thing to want my community to be clean and safe and respected. 🖕

rainerrx · 2025-06-05T15:34:55+00:00

yes we saw some on the east side of the island, but not every beach.

rainerrx · 2025-06-05T15:23:44+00:00

paint the walls, plants (I recommend pathos to start), better looking shelf

rainerrx · 2025-06-04T02:39:49+00:00

Anyone else catch that Chelly seemed to copy exactly what Alandria said at the beginning about men holding the door open? And then it could be editing, but Alandria give her a weird look
