My friend and I stopped into Dee Thai on a sunny afternoon in hopes of a cheap satisfying meal. This place has mixed reviews, but we decided to give it a go anyway. The empty chairs and dimly lit atmosphere among the contemporary decor, were cause for alarm. Though,  despite of the sounds of crickets [...]

Kew Gardens Peruvian Restaurant Comes to Astoria…Soon

Posted on July 19, 2010. Filed under: Astoria, Cheap Dining, Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, Peruvian |

Float Away to Side Door Cafe

Posted on July 7, 2010. Filed under: Astoria, Cheap Dining, Coffee/Tea Shop, IceCream/Ice/Gelato/Fro-Yo |

As I was waltzing around in the sweltering heat I made my way to the Side Door. I was in need of something cold to pour over my head, but I got a drink instead. My self created ice cream float (not on the menu) included lemon sorbet and seltzer water, sort of like a [...]

Sweet Afton?

Posted on June 11, 2010. Filed under: Astoria, Bar-Hopping in Queens, Burgers, Cheap Dining, Outdoor Seating/Patio |

I’ve been hearing rave reviews about Sweet Afton ever since they opened. As a general rule, any bar that offers outdoor seating and caters to the hipster crowd is often overflowing with praise, whether it’s warranted or not. I was in no hurry to try this place because I figured it would be exactly what [...]

Posted on June 1, 2010. Filed under: Astoria, Cheap Dining, Coffee/Tea Shop, Cuban | Tags: , |

Long live the quest for that authentically great tasting cubano in Astoria. The highly coveted sandwich rarely makes an appearance in the neighborhood, but I found one that is sure to please even the pickiest of taste buds.
