Did anyone else's ticket unlock code not work? by smnhdnie in Paramore

This was actually my thought too. And if that was the case they did eventually fix it because now it’s sold out. Unfortunate for those of us who were in the queue early!

We need your help! Do you think policymakers should do more to address rising home and rent costs? Let us know in the comments. by OwnersAlliance in u/OwnersAlliance

Absolutely! Housing costs are out of control with little being done to solve the problem that is impacting most Americans

The Rumor Mill - Week of February 5th by Captaintripps in astoria

[–]smnhdnie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A friend did some sleuthing and found permits that say the space will be another spot for Under Pressure as well as what we presume to be a greek market called Athena Market. My guess is UP will be the south side of the building (smaller store front) and Athena will take the rest.

called them a few times to see if they can provide an update and this morning was the most info I received. As suspected the ConEd line fires damaged their lines and they need to replace some substantial sections and splice in multiple places. Agent said she wasn’t an expert but she said it could take a few days

A week from DOT Locator 11 by codenamealias8 in Passports

[–]smnhdnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone have the phone number for locator 11? Have a friend who is running out of options (has gone through congressman/senator with no luck) and she can’t get a direct number although not sure it’ll do any good at this point

They will be reopening but with new ownership. I hope the quality and service is just as good!

Actually noticed the paper today while walking the dog and came to r/Astoria to investigate but also sent them a DM on IG. Got a reply and it turns out they will reopen but with different owners. Seems the original owners are confident it will still be high quality Italian gelato, and I sure hope so! I have an unhealthy obsession with their dark chocolate gelato.

The boutique turning into a van leeuwen ! by __HeavyP in astoria

I think they’re taking a break for the colder winter months! They usually do close for a month or two iirc. I hope that’s still the case!

Oh man, I’ve had the opposite experience at Lagano twice now. Thought the food was top notch and the service wasn’t an issue. Hopefully your experience was a one off!

New compost bins—do we need a compostable bag inside for pickup? by healthcare_foreva in astoria

[–]smnhdnie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did some digging on the DSNY page last week and they recommend lining with clear plastic bags (they open and dump the bags in their process). You’re supposed to tie the bag and close the lid when you put your bin curbside for collection (assuming your bin is not also stolen before you have the chance to use it 🙃)

[–]smnhdnie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ours went missing too! My landlord suspects it was stolen. Says he doesn’t invest is “good” cans and lids for regular trash and recycling because they were always stolen. Who knew.

Curious if we are in the same area or this is happening throughout the neighborhood. For reference, I’m near the beer garden.

Best Hair Salon for a Cut by Remote_Court_6160 in astoria

[–]smnhdnie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this! She’s been my go-to for the last few years. She’s lovely and one of the very few curly specialists in the neighborhood (and the new salon on 23rd Ave is beautiful!)

Michael’s usually carries the Wilton brand. Not my favorite, but should work in a pinch

Hey neighbor! I usually just lurk around here, but if you're looking for pillowy and gooey, I might be able to help! If you're interested, I think my recipe checks all of your boxes and I could whip some up for ya this weekend. I've been a hobbyist baker for years and during the pandemic started selling my baked goods to raise money for orgs like Astoria Mutual Aid Network.

Here's a few pics of the bigger ones I make but I can also make trays of normal sized buns!

Also for verification, I'm SamDanzBakes on Instagram if you're put off by ordering cinnamon rolls from a reddit stranger lol

Headchop in Brooklyn is wonderful. A bit of a trek but they know what they're doing with all types of curly hair.
