Welcome to Astoria, Queens!
Food + Drink
Start your mornings off with the best little coffee shop in Queens! Owner Jenna supplies La Colombe beans exclusively, as well as cold brew and draft lattes on tap. Balthazar pastries make for the perfect accompaniment and are also sold here.
The shop is a little whole in the wall, but you can pre-order for contactless pickup at moacoffee.square.site. My favorite is the iced vanilla latte with oat milk!

Great German food and beer - they have set up several outdoor seats during COVID-19 (some a little too close for my comfort, but to each his own!). They also do a bustling delivery/takeout business as well - try the schnitzel!

My favorite Greek restaurant in a neighborhood FULL of them! Guidebooks will take you to Taverna Kyclades, but for my money, THIS is the hands-down best in all of Astoria. Try the saganaki cheese, the seafood, really anything on the menu is delicious. Outdoor seating next to the northern edge of Astoria Park.

Frank and his team have been in this location for what seems like generations. An absolute staple of the East Astoria 30th Avenue food scene, they are great for everything - prepared foods you can heat up at home, a small Italian grocery (with real Nutella from Italy when they can get it!), and the best and cheapest egg and cheese on a roll for your breakfast nosh.
During COVID-19, they are now closed on Sundays. Cash only if just walking into the store, but they do take orders on Seamless, Grubhub, and Mercato.

One of my absolute favorites in my corner of Astoria - and partially responsible for my "quarantine 15!" :)
They sell delicious and decadent baked goods, soft-serve ice creams with a funky twist, and the yummiest chicken sammies for lunch.
During COVID-19, they are closed Monday-Tuesday, and usually close at 4pm except Fridays/Saturdays.
They've also really stepped up for our community during the pandemic, donating food to essential workers at hospitals during the height of the pandemic in NYC, and essential workers can eat for free onsite.

Pre-pandemic, your typical sports bar.

Call ahead to reserve a table, or stop by their "lemonade stand” - which is now a hot apple cider stand in colder weather - outside the main entrance for a drink to go!

Definitely NOT in Astoria - not even in Queens! But I include because - if you're traveling with a car - this is a must-visit restaurant in quiet and picturesque Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.
A favorite of mine for over 15 years, Frankie's has a beautiful garden that will transport you out of the city, as if you aren't even in NYC, or even in the midst of a pandemic!
Great pastas, wines, desserts (the red wine prunes and mascarpone are the unsung hero of that menu) - great everything!
Backyard garden is socially-distanced and divine. It's about a 25-minute drive to Frankie's from our home without traffic.
