DiWine is the Perfect Date Spot

If you are in Astoria and looking for a date spot, look no further than DiWine. I went to DiWine last Monday, and this wine bar was pretty quiet (I’ve heard it gets busier especially towards the weekend). The cool thing about it being kind of empty was that [...]

Petey’s Burger Disappoints

A couple nights ago, I was heading out to dinner in Astoria and figured I’d check out Petey’s Burger, which has been listed as the best new burger in NYC by Time Out New York.

The restaurant is a fast-food establishment, where you order your burger at the counter, and then they call your [...]

El Mariachi Makes Great Tacos

I’m not going to lie - I can eat Mexican pretty much for every meal. On Sunday, my roommate and I were hoping to check out the infamous taco truck in Astoria, but when we couldn’t find it, we settled on a new Mexican favorite - El Mariachi.

We went in and sat at [...]

A New Favorite NYC Diner

Well, I guess it is time to announce that my roommate and I are officially moving to Astoria. Don’t worry, Caryn will still live on 89th Street, so there will be plenty of Manhattan content.

While apartment hunting though, my roommate introduced me to the Neptune Diner, out in Astoria by the Astoria Blvd [...]

Ornella’s Has It All: Great Family, Culture and Food

How do I begin this post? The problem I face is that I know my words will not be able to convey how wonderful Ornella Trattoria is, and I need you to understand that this is a special place. It goes beyond the food because you are welcomed into the Viterale family (it’s named [...]

Coming Up: Winegasm’s 2nd Anniversary Party!

I love wine, parties, and Bethenney Frankel.

Looking for something to do on Sunday Funday? Check out Winegasm’s 2nd anniversary (I am a tad obsessed with the name..). Located in Astoria, this bar and eatery is hosting a party from 4 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. on Sunday. There will be wine, cocktails [...]

Deal Alert! Free Drinks, Entertainment and More in Astoria Tonight!

Why Leave Astoria is celebrating its second anniversary, and is certainly doing it in style. The party will start at 7 pm tonight at Studio Square - aka the beer gardens that are located at 35-33 36th St. According to our reader Ben who shared this party with us (and is emceeing the event!), there will [...]

Mixed Emotions at Michael Angelo’s Pizzeria

Sick of eating Thai, subs and sushi in Astoria, I decided to find a pizza place on Yelp and came across Michael Angelo’s Pizzeria, located right off the Ditmars Blvd subway stop.

Ben and I headed over to the pizza place, which is known for their thin crust pizza, and sat on the back [...]

They Weren’t Kidding When They Named It “Bangkok Tasty”

I had been craving Thai for days, and on Sunday night decided to head over to Bangkok Tasty, one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Astoria. I had been a few times before, but was looking forward to reviewing for the blog.

Even though it was 10 p.m., there were still a few people [...]
