Fatty’s Cuban Asian American mix Astoria
Fattys- 25-01 Ditmars Blvd (corner of Crescent)……(718)267-7071
This is one of my favorite places for dinner and brunch. And their mojitos?…faaghettaboutit! Introducing many a friend to this gem has practically become a hobby. Fatty’s gets 100% better during the warm months too, thanks to their lovely outdoor garden area. The tunes are always audible at this hip joint that also displays the (pricey) ever-changing work of local artists on the walls. The food is tasty and innovative, leaving you feeling satisfied. The fish n chips, jalapeno turkey burger, chofan (stir fry), fattata (brunch), salmon burger, and Chavorrayo and Cubano sandwiches are all a must. The owner, el Fatty is what we call him, is the nicest and coolest guy around who recently opened a sultry wine bar next door, Crescent and Vine.
