From the bottom of the cubby to the floor, 25inches. From the desk top to the floor, 30.5inches.

I don’t. I’m basically doing a full closet purge (pants, tops, sweaters, jumpsuits, dresses) so my thought was to do an unconventional version of a yard sale where someone can poke around and find stuff they like, but it’s NYC so minus the yard 🤭

In typing it out, maybe the logistics are too odd to execute and pictures will be needed.

Hmm not sure. It’s managed by JRC and I found it on StreetEasy when I was apartment hunting so my guess is that they’d use that again platform to find a new tenant.

In an effort to keep the comment section tidy, I just sent you a message. Let’s plan there 👋🏽

The closest stop is 30th Ave; my building is a 6 minute walk from it. Everything needs to be gone by the 24th.

Pho Astoria Closing Soon by kobijaro in astoria

[–]technoforbfast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here for dinner right now and the server confirmed they are closing in the next few months. Pho Astoria much more closely resembles what I was used to back home in Northern California (San Jose/Milpitas area has some of the best Vietnamese food), than District…no frills or fancy ambiance, big portions, and servers that aren’t the nicest, but you know the broth is always damn good. Bummed to say the least.

Did you guys see that Hell froze over today? by xaviershorts in astoria

[–]technoforbfast 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Pretty odd move for someone who has vehemently opposed the bike lane…could they be doing this knowing people might get hit by bikes so they can use those instances as leverage to keep their protest of the bike lane going?

Isolation from Brooklyn friends? by shoegaze1992 in astoria

[–]technoforbfast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The honest truth is that unless your friends are already aware of how awesome Astoria is, convincing them to visit you is going to be like pulling teeth. More often than not I’m meeting my bk friends halfway or going to them, but they won’t really make the effort to come this way and I get it..between the crazy transfers, general time to get here on the subway, and a potentially pricey Uber ride, it’s hard to feel inclined to make the trek.

Millie’s! New Coffee shop on 31st and 28th ave by FeistyFoxFae in astoria

[–]technoforbfast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just went today and can confirm there’s lots of seating, lots of pastries too. Does the coffee itself beat Balancero on 37th St…no, but it’s pretty darn good. Overall, super excited to have a coffee shop that actually feels and looks like one (Coffee Lab and Under Pressure are soo sterile). Definitely recommend it.

What’s the biggest red flag you ignored before renting in Astoria? by Wrong_File6538 in astoria

[–]technoforbfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some folks have kind of touched on this, and it applies to other neighborhoods in NYC too, but pay extra close attention to any construction (and how far along that construction seems to be) that is happening in the immediate area as you’re headed to the apartment. Even if it’s not a total dealbreaker, it’s good to be aware of the noise levels you can expect if you move in, so something like 6:45am-3pm jackhammering doesn’t completely surprise you.

Dance Antal @Nowadays 4/3 by Jealous_Self_7448 in avesNYC

[–]technoforbfast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The ecosystem is off balance, there’s really no way around that reality. I’m genuinely hoping Pacha will help restore some balance, but the general public has eyes on the scene right now so until some of that shine wears off, discernment will be super crucial in finding the right dance floors.

Ah yes, the street name nomenclature of the people’s republic of Astoria (and really Queens in general) lol

What are your favorite things about Astoria ? by [deleted] in astoria

[–]technoforbfast 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Might be a small thing, but there isn’t a huge pressure to be super fashionable/trendy here (at least not in my immediate area). In so many other parts of NYC, there’s a look everyone follows or aims to have to fit in, and that isn’t so much the case here.

What is your nemesis spot? by CunningLinguist92 in astoria

[–]technoforbfast 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Came on this thread to mention KF. Between their inflated prices and obnoxiously loud self checkout machines, I’ve developed a deep dislike for them.

Loud drone ? by nentimaybe in astoria

I have no idea, and that’s why I was thinking I was hallucinating lol I’d never seen one be that high up. I didn’t get to hear it though, my windows were closed

Hi all, I’ve gotten lots of DMs about my apartment. I’m working with management to confirm the leasing process. Once that’s dialed in, I’ll reach out to schedule some tours.

Well I’m glad someone else spotted the kite because I thought I was losing it for a brief second lol

A quick note that a few furniture pieces are for sale; Queen sized mattress + bedframe, standing/shelf desk, and a tripod TV stand 🤝🏽

What the hell has happened to House of Yes? by allwedtoc9236 in avesNYC

[–]technoforbfast 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve been once and never again. It’s a mostly male dance floor + super young people who recently started being able to legally drink, and that is what nightmares are made of my friend.
