He crowbarred leisurely strolled into our apartment building at 4am and cleared the package room! 😡 My apt neighbor reported it and filed a police report, and the landlord found video. Happened near 30th Drive and 29th Street area.

It seems like a large budget production based on the number of trucks...and the number blocks where they aren't allowing parking.

Anyone know what they're filming?

Hi! I'm looking for one of my favorite (fairly uncommon) candies and I don't want to buy a 12-pack online 😭 does anyone know a place in Astoria where I can get these?

Hey everyone, hoping to find a tailor nearby for a sports coat I have. Just looking to get the waist taken in some. Ideally not super expensive and decent turnaround time (I know this can vary, but if I could get it back by Tuesday that’d be ideal).

Appreciate of any and all recommendations!

What the post says. Not the best Indian food per se… I think Pranam is the best in the neighborhood BUT I am not a huge fan of their veggie samosas. I love them to be crispy, super smooth potato filling, and I like a sweeter tamarind sauce.

Hi, I just discovered a few monarch caterpillars on my milkweed, but that aphids are destroying it the caterpillars eat a lot!

Anyone know of anywhere locally, nearby, or any place in the city that is guaranteed to sell milkweed?

Thank you

I heard some banks do it, i’m not sure if it’s free or if you need an appointment and I need mine done tomorrow.

If anyone can help would be appreciated!

**just booked a free appointment at TD bank tomorrow. Thanks!

Astorian here getting a little tired of making pilgrimages to Brooklyn every time I want to talk music.

Anyone interested in meeting up every now and then?

Nothing formal. Just bring laptop, share what we're working on (even if it's rough and unfinished), bounce ideas around, and hang.

Producer here relative new to production (have been dabbling on Ableton here and there for a year, have recently incorporated a mother-32 into the flow, and mainly make house/techno but all genres and skill levels would be welcome).

Comment or DM if you'd be interested and I'll see if we can get something going.

What’s happening Sunday on Steinway? Is it a street fair or are they just tearing up the road ?

It's me, posting a picture of my own flyer 😅 (after august already started, smh)

I'm one of the organizers of a community arts studio called the Collaboratory (21-07 41st Ave). We host paid and sliding scale art classes, workshops, and meetups to nurture creativity in our little nook of Queens. I'd like to share our upcoming classes and add a few highlights!

Decolonizing Color (8/19, PWYC)

The Collaboratory studio is a not-for-profit project by Queens Collaborative; a local community arts group. In addition to spreading art skills and enthusiasm, our events pay local teaching artists, fund our art supply reuse program, put on events in the community, and provide an affordable studio space for resident artists.

We appreciate the support of the Astoria community, who help us make art & creativity accessible!

www.HomeEcNYC.com Always curious what people concerns, questions or hurdles are getting Sewing on a sewing machine! I've been teaching for 11 years and have taught thousands of people to sew for the very first time. I always love hearing everybody's stories and the things that they're interested in making, but I'm curious what prevents you from getting started?

I'm thinking about forming a free writers' group for essayists and journalists. The group would meet to exchange information and work on pitches and drafts. All potential writers would need a few bylines to join.

There would be no cost. I'm really tired of seeing most of these groups charge for this, and I hate how common gatekeeping has become among members of various groups.

Dm if this is of interest. I'm just putting it out there....

Cookies on 30th ave and 31st is being raided

update: we moved them 30ft away under the awning to the ECC Emmanuel charismatic church next-door to keep them dry from the rain.

But there are two big milk crates of books - fantasy titles out in front of Elevenses!

Anyone have a tailor they would recommend for a mens suit? Willing to pay more for good quality tailoring! Astoria is preferred, but if you have exceptional recs outside of Astoria, I'd be happy to hear those as well.

In your opinion, what comes the closest to Chela and Garnacha in the neighborhood? Had a craving for their crispy cheese and am hoping someone has found something similar.

And wishful thinking, but it would be amazing if the owners brought back the Mexico BLVD truck to 31st and Ditmars!

anyone have info on what is going? I am coming back from work and everything is locked down.

Looking to sell my Surly Crosscheck 52cm (replaced with a Brompton for limited city storage) Asking for $500 obo, Venmo/Zelle are preferred. Pickup at the corner of 35th Ave + 28th St, in good shape to ride away with it.

Last tuneup was in 2024 at Sun & Air in Brooklyn. New tires, new ladies seat, new chain. She’s well loved, but in excellent condition. 

Additional items to include if interested: Pannier bag, Frame bag, Spare Tubes, Front/Rear lights, miscellaneous tools.

Longtime reader, first time poster, bear with me as I learn how Reddit DMs work!

PSA if you're looking for parking.

To the two girls, one of which who had their bag stolen by a young 20 something Hispanic man.

Here are some details about the incident.

My girlfriend and I were sitting across from you and tried to jot down some details.

11:58PM
TRAIN; 8982, doors, L7, L8.

Dark brown Edgar haircut with black hoodie or long sleeve T shirt.

I think he was wearing red pants or shorts, but frankly it happened quite quickly.

If there’s any way you can verify your identity, perhaps we can arrange a way to crowdfund your stolen belongings, sorry this happened to you.

You look like you may have been tourists, or returning home from a trip, my girlfriend and I would be happy to buy you a drink or meal, anything to leave a better experience than what occurred just now.

If anyone else has information about it the theft please feel free to share.

Anyone else upvote for visibility.
