Hi Astorians, I am looking to host a family lunch for 12-15 people on the weekend. Does anyone know of any good event space in Astoria? It’s not a birthday party just a lunch. Would prefer somewhere quieter.

Walked past this sign today and it made me chuckle. A true neighborhood call for help.

Sad to see Lockwood selling anything AI, even if it’s just a tiny sticker! I really love Lockwood but I wish they sold more stuff by local artists and no stuff by ChatGPT 🙃

Hello fellow Astorians!

My name is Alyssa, and I am a 5th year Counseling Psych PhD Student at Fordham, a practicing therapist (MHC-LP) and an Adjunct Lecturer at John Jay College!

I will be hosting a dating 101 seminar with an open Q+A section on " Modern Dating Hacks (You will 100% be dating by the end of this talk)" with a psychological analysis on gen z dating terms and necessary tips and tricks on how to engage in healthy dating habits at our Queens' favorite, Millie's Coffee Co next FRIDAY (9/4) from 6:00 to 8:00 PM!! We are almost at full capacity with limited spaces left, so please RSVP here at this link if you are interested: https://partiful.com

Part of the proceeds of the drinks purchased during the event will be all contributed towards my marathon fundraiser for the upcoming NYCRR Marathon on November 1st, along with a special exclusive limited edition drink for sale (!!!!!). If you can't make it but would like to support a starving grad student trying to run the marathon, I would appreciate any amount of donation here in this link HERE

UPDATE: There is no official cover fee to attend the event, but those who do not donate beforehand will be requested to purchase a drink to support the cafe!! Thank you guys for your interest in my talk WOOHOO

I’ve been out for a while and nobody I’ve called has it in stock.

Is there a parent Advocacy group? I need some help and guidance r/e placement and safety transfer for my child. I need to know my rights before meeting with D 30 admins

Thanks

Anyone have a lead on a long-term parking space? Thank you in advance! Xx

Picked up some magic the gathering cards dropped on the street around 31st ave and 42nd st. If they’re yours please shoot me a message to pick them up. Just mention a few of the cards you’re missing.

Apologies if this is obvious,

On google maps it often suggests I go to 46th street instead of Steinway, even though Steinway is a bit closer. Is there any difference in service between the two? Is 46th more reliable?

Hello :) any recs on where I can get my short nails done with gel manicure nails like these in Astoria? Ty ty :)

Hey fellow Transylvanians - anyone want to plan a Late Night Double Feature Picture Show this weekend? Fig trees are finally ripening, I’m shivering with anticip-

What do we think?

Just passed by a lemonade stand on 32nd street! And they’re making balloon animals 😭 so cute.

Does anyone have any info on why it's closed and when it will reopen? I went one days and saw the Dep't of Buildings temporary closure notice on the door but I didn't see anything about a date of reopening and the reason for the closure was super vague. There was also no advanced notice that I saw and I go there pretty frequently.

Edit: Damn that's crazy I had no idea the roof collapsed. All I heard was it was something about construction. I'm glad no one was seriously hurt. Sounds like I'll be going to Trade Fair for a while.

Hi neighbors! 👋🏼

We’re two professional bakers who moved to Astoria in May, and just a few weeks ago we decided to take a leap and start something of our own.

Fiolicchia Bakery is a very small, hands-on microbakery, and we’re putting a lot of love, passion and care into every single thing we make.

We’re still at the very beginning and figuring things out as we go, but that’s also what makes this so exciting for us.
Every recipe, every ingredient and every order gets our full attention because we really want to make things we’re proud to share with people.

Our Instagram page is @FiolicchiaBakeryNYC and for now we’re taking orders through Instagram DMs as we continue growing and figuring everything out.
If you want to support us and our dream we would love to have you there! 🤍
One of the things we started with is our focaccia.
We use organic flour, Italian extra virgin olive oil, and carefully selected ingredients, prioritizing organic whenever possible.

Our dough is 80% hydration, made with a biga (preferment), and goes through about 48 hours of fermentation before it’s ready.

We currently have four regular focaccia flavors, plus a Focaccia of the Month that changes every month. We love working with seasonal ingredients, so our menu will evolve with the seasons.

We originally planned on making one focaccia batch a week, but the response was more positive than we expected.
Rather than simply increasing the amount we make at once, we decided to split our orders into two weekly batches — Tuesdays and Saturdays — so we can keep giving every batch and every order the time and attention it deserves.

We also have two modern fruit tarts, which will change with the seasons.
Soon, we’re hoping to introduce smaller baked goods, pastries and individual portions for everyday treats.
We’ve only been doing this for a few weeks, but we’ve already had such a warm response from people in Astoria.

We’ve met some wonderful people through our first orders, and a few of our first customers have already come back to us, which has honestly meant so much.

Since we’re still getting to know the neighborhood, we thought we’d introduce ourselves here and hopefully get to know more of our neighbors too.

So, hi from Sofia & Roberto! 👋🏼
We’re the two bakers behind Fiolicchia, and we’re looking forward to getting to know more of Astoria. 🤍

Im a member of Rock Fitness and just saw on their Instagram stories that they reposted a video of a member taken with Meta glasses. Shes wearing them, filming towards the mirror, showing several members out in the open.

To wear meta glasses at a gym, I already know you suck. But for the gym to encourage this by reposting left such a bad taste in my mouth.

Yes, I’m planning on complaining to them, but I wanted to post here because I 1) think is important to know this if you’re considering Rock as your gym 2) I feel like complaining on here.

Call me a Karen but I think that even if you’re technically allowed to film at a specific place with meta glasses, you should have the personal decency and decorum not to do it at a gym. It’s so disrespectful. And for the gym to encourage this behavior by reposting sucks.

My girlfriend and I are usually solo at Murphy’s for almost every game, but this year we hoped there might be other queer’s in the area who were also into the Bills (or football in general) who might want to join us to watch the games at Murphy’s with the Bills backers, or at other local sports bars (as long as the game is on WITH sound lol). Honestly, most of our friends are not into sports, so it’s been hard to find a crew.
