Deal Alert! All You Can Eat Ribs for $19!

By Laura, on January 31, 2012, 7:42 am

Some of my guy friends (um Dave) could really pack in a ton of food if they wanted to. If you consider taking on an all you can eat ribs night as a personal challenge, consider swinging by MexiQ in Astoria on a Tuesday. For just $19, enjoy St. Louis-style pork ribs with your choice of sauce, [...]

Deal Alert! $10 Burger and Beer Combo!

By Laura, on January 23, 2012, 7:29 am

Here’s a reason to come to Astoria each and every Monday. MexiQ, located on 30th Ave and 37th Street (5 stops in from Manhattan, people, about 15 minutes from 59th and Lex), offers a burger and a beer for $10. Choose from several carefully sourced craft beers on tap along with any of the menu’s innovative [...]

Great Beer Special, Okay Wings at Dillingers

By Laura, on December 5, 2011, 7:59 am

For years, I had been reading about a $10 pitcher and 25 cent wing special every Tuesday at Dillingers here in Astoria. Dillingers is a little big off the beaten path, on 30th Ave but around 46th Street.

My friend and I arrived on Tuesday around 8pm and it was packed. I initially thought [...]

Just Say No to Just Burgers

By Laura, on October 24, 2011, 7:56 am

I recently got a bike, and just to be honest, the bike was really because I wanted to explore other food venues in our neighborhood easily without having to wait for the subway (yes, true confessions of a fat kid). So on Saturday, my boyfriend and I biked to Ditmars Blvd in Astoria to [...]

Looking for BBQ? Head to John Brown’s Smokehouse

By Laura, on October 17, 2011, 7:59 am

One of my new favorite restaurants in Astoria is John Brown’s Smokehouse. This place is a little bit off the beaten path and is located at 37th Ave and Crescent Street, so for you Manhattan folks, it is three stops into Queens on the N or Q train.

John Brown’s [...]

The King of Falafel is Certainly King

By Laura, on July 6, 2011, 7:40 am

Here in Astoria, the King (of Falafel) sits on his throne at 30th Street and Broadway. And by God, does this man deserve his throne. After all, he’s the 2010 Winner of the Vendy Awards, so you know that means he’s a top food truck.

The King of Falafel and Shawarma is my go-to [...]

5 Napkin Burger is 5 Stars

By Laura, on May 2, 2011, 7:54 am

One of my favorite places to eat in Astoria is 5 Napkin Burger. Now before you start thinking this is another Astoria post, there are locations in Hell’s Kitchen and the Upper West Side too!

I’ve only eaten at the Astoria location, and I have to say, it is a great addition to the [...]

The Queens Kickshaw: My 2011 Resolution

By Laura, on April 26, 2011, 7:23 am

Astoria has been getting some great restaurants lately. The latest addition to the neighborhood is The Queens Kickshaw, that’s a coffee shop specializing in gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. I’ve been twice and I loved it both times. First, I love cheese. You may recall I plan on naming my kid Brie, Colby and Jack [...]

Canz: Go for the Beer, Not the Food

By Laura, on April 22, 2011, 7:16 am

I’ll admit it – sometimes I get suckered into one of our Favorite Food Finds, especially if it’s my neighborhood, and I forget to read the fine print. When I saw a coupon for Canz from BeerMenus a few months back, I jumped on it. I hadn’t been to this bar/restaurant, but my boyfriend [...]

Queens Comfort: A Reason to Come to Queens

By Laura, on March 9, 2011, 7:40 am

My boyfriend Chad is from the South, so when we read our friend Bradley’s brunch review of Queens Comfort on Why Leave Astoria, we knew this new spot was at the top of our bucket list.

Queens Comfort‘s kitchen opens for brunch at noon, but if you are an early riser, you can [...]
