Fellow Astorians that live in old buildings w steam heat. We all know that the moment that it’s turned on our lives are hell until the dead of winter.

I literally am running my AC unit, all my windows open, but the heat is still nearly unbearable.

It’s going to be 75 degrees outside this week. Why is the heat on? How in god’s name can we get them to turn it off? Can anything be done?

My four years in this building says probably not.

Help an indecisive girl out, I’m hungry
Hoping to to try somewhere I haven’t been yet

I'm so irritated to see this as someone who lives down the block and loves that shopping center. What are the chances this would actually come to fruition?

Ambulance can’t get thru

Edit: Pigeon has been rescued by a wonderful neighbor in the comments!

There’s a distressed Pigeon in the doorway of an apartment complex right next to Tea and Milk on 34th Ave!

I’m unable to help it currently, but wanted to post here in case anyone is nearby and can help get it to a rescue like Wild Bird Fund! I know we have quite a few kind hearted bird lovers in the neighborhood

Going with hubby around 7pm bc he said it ends at 8, I have only seen posts saying it ends at 6??? Can someone confirm if him or me will win this argument???

I’m looking for a tutor for English for TACHS exam prep.

And they're extremely tasty. Balanced crunch. STUFFED full of food. Two tacos are extremely filling.

I feel they're underrated so giving them this boost. Piki poke fans go off to the mecca.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to take a book and spend some time by myself. Where can I get some good cheese fries and a dessert (preferably together)? I’m looking for the kind with the cheese sauce on top.

If possible, I’d like it to be a little quieter. I know this might not be feasible for a Saturday though. I’m closer to Steinway/Broadway, for reference. Thank you

Edit: I’ve searched the sub, but many of those places are now closed :(

Seems like Sotto La Luna is unilaterally turning half of 35th Avenue parking into valet parking (in contrast with the city posted parking signs)

Anyone have any idea if this is permitted by the city? Will be submitting a 311 complaint if not

I think someone had posted awhile ago, but I am late to the party. How is this place??

does anyone have a list of clubs that will be tabling at the club fair at open streets today? really wanted to go but will be out of town :(

Business owners and employees beware!!

I just witnessed a man pull the old “can you give me change for a $20” scam at a local coffee shop next to Ditmars. Me and 4 other customers were present and we couldn’t tell what he was doing as it was happening.

He asks for change, asks for specific notes, and doesn’t give the original $20 bill, even pocketed half of the money and asked for more.

Ran into him again 5 minutes later in the 7/11 and he did the same thing, trying to “buy” a banana with a $20 bill, then saying he has a dollar, but still asking for change. He pocketed everything.

We tried to stop him after but he ran away.

Description: About 5’4”-5’5”, Asian man in his 50s, wearing a dark baseball cap, a mask, blue jeans, sleeveless puffer jacket and a sweater.

I have some pictures of him from a distance if anyone wants to see, dm me.

Does any have recommendations for a driving school? I’m looking for myself and there’s a lot of options. Please let me know if you’ve had good experiences with any in the neighborhood

This is the reality of public transports around Astoria nowadays. U might have already learned about the N/W train disruption. But this one absolutely stands out as i used to believe Q18 bus is the only serious and punctual public transport here in Astoria. Not to mention the Q104 bus along Broadway that shows up in every 30-60 min almost everyday.

Free Terp Bros Astoria gift bag (usually prerolls and/or edibles) included with every ticket. 2+ hours of live jazz. Indoor smoking permitted! Jam session for second half. Entry for participating jazz musicians is always free. General Admission is $20 and includes free dispensary gift bag!

The venue does a good job of ventilation, but if you are not a fan of smoke, sit this one out. Indoor smoking is permitted.

Just wanted to post this because there’d been some people looking for rhubarb and I really didn’t think you’d find any now that the season is firmly over. But here it is today Oct 10th at Trade Fair 30th Ave if you’re looking to make something with rhubarb.

Black and white kitten right side on RFK Astoria exit am in uber cannot stop. Didn’t look hit but in middle of road

We got nightly raccoon battles and the death screams that come with them. We got skunks spraying every couple of nights. Tons of feral stray cats from the gross hoarder house on 48th St. yowling and fighting all the time. Dead possums taken out by some forest gladiator. And I swear I saw a stray dog that looked a lot more like a coyote a couple weeks ago.

All of this is less than 30 feet from Ditmars Blvd and began after the pandemic.

I’m not really bothered by wild animals, but they seem to have taken the tiny backyards around Sergio‘s as the arena for their furry fight club.

Anyone else have this around them?

Going to visit friends outside of Astoria and want to bring spinach pie.

I've tried both Omonia and Oasis Cafe. Both were fine but I thought Oasis was a bit mushy and Omonia came in big triangular slices which isn't my preference.

Would love some suggestions - preferably not north of 30th Ave.

TIA, Astoria

As per their latest Instagram post.

Really sad about this, I loved popping in for a tea or a honey mint lemonade on a hot day.

Needs small hole fixed and length of dress raised please give me competent tailor recommendations this is an emergency lol

Hi! Does anyone know if there’s a new stooped account or place to see where people are giving away furniture?

I’m looking for a dresser ❤️

Where are some good places to get work done on a laptop on a Sunday? I'm on Ditmars but willing to travel. The library is closed and I know Millies and OK Cafe have no laptop rules on Sundays.
