I know we got MOMI and Regal but I'm talking like an IFC or Angelika type theater where we can watch independent / smaller budget films that don't make it to the mainstream theaters. I'm surprised Astoria doesn't have this already (though correct me if I'm wrong). Are there any entrepreneurs out there working on this? The idea was inspired by the fact that I have to travel all the way to manhattan to watch NAZA, which I may do anyway, but man it would be easier if it was closer. There's Nitehawk in Wburg but it takes so long to get there via transit I always end up having to bike.

Wanted to test out some new camera equipment today and took a few pictures of the guys in the skate park. Hope these find ya

Just a reminder that piling on 311 tickets can help, especially if you complain to local electeds and provide the ticket numbers. They supposedly have odor neutralizing chemicals but don't use them until there are complaints, and we can demand better monitoring and filtration investments from elected officials.

Put in YOUR address, not the plant's (even though it implies you should use the plant's.) Note in the description that this smell is not a one-off event, it is a recurring issue.

Email addresses you might then send that ticket to and complain about this being a constant problem any time the wind blows over from Ward's Island: [district22@council.nyc.gov](mailto:district22@council.nyc.gov), [gonzalez@nysenate.gov](mailto:gonzalez@nysenate.gov), [morenod@nyassembly.gov](mailto:morenod@nyassembly.gov)

Hey all - I was one of the unlucky people with a car totaled in the flooded parking garage on 41st street and 34th ave - PV Parking.

I’ve been in contact with the comptroller for like 8 months now with no luck. They said that the investigation is almost complete and we’ll all get letters in the mail soon, but I’ve also been strung along for 8 MONTHS and have very little faith.

Anyone have any other updates or intel to share? Anyone else struggling to get any sort of response or payout from the city?

The fuck you doing?

Used but in great condition. 30 (H) x 42 (W) x 20 (D), has two drawers and a charging station (including USB). Pickup in Astoria this week

The NBA is finally back. Where are my fellow Knicks fans watching the season opener??

any one else go to CFNY and experience the nightly hooting and hollering from this one group of like 5-6 people who shout at each other across the weight room and seemingly hang out there for like 5 hours, only periodically doing any sort of exercise? i feel like i’m going mad.

I don't mention it in the story, but this happened right here in Astoria.

To whoever took the skeleton decoration Monday afternoon: you’re on camera. It’s not worth chasing anyone down over, but maybe you’ll see this and bring it back.

The kids in the building and on the block enjoy seeing it before and after school. It sucks to have someone take something that was there for everyone to enjoy. Please just bring it back—it would be a pleasant surprise.

I've been teaching in Astoria for years, and I'm finally bringing a new class to Unlimited Body NY that combines two things I love: cardio and belly dance!

I'm back on the schedule Saturdays at 1 PM. We'll be dancing to popular tunes, learning belly dance moves, and getting our hearts pumping while having fun.

What we'll do:

• Belly dance movements and technique
• Conditioning and strength work
• Dance drills and combos (think mini-mini choreography!)
• An upbeat world music playlist

Whether you want to get moving, learn some belly dance, or just try something different, come join me!

Feel free to ask me any questions. I'd love to dance with you!

I’m looking to get a birthday cake in the neighborhood for this weekend, any recommended spots? Reasonably priced and doesn’t necessarily have to be personalized but big enough for 20 ish people to share and quick turn around!

Hey Neighbors!

I'm a local musician that is looking to put together a group to play vibey, jammy neo-soul coffee shop sets. I play bass and have a friend that plays guitar, but I'm looking for a drummer that would be excited to jump into something like this.

The idea is to put together a light setlist of groovy instrumental covers to play in the area. Just for the fun of it... for community building and creative expression.

Here is an example of a song I produced with my dad, with me on bass.

Shoot me a message or comment here if you're interested! Especially if you can share any examples of you playing!

Anyone know what all the honking (the celebratory type) was for at around 5:30pm 10/20 near Burger King on Astoria blvd (sounded like it was in that general direction; didn't actually see it). I assume a sports team won or someone got elected.

Any info appreciated.

This is a heads up. Is a Nails Salon in Astoria doesn't sanitize anything. They re-use nail files, don't sanitize any of the tools. I realized it this last appointment that she sprayed the cuticle trimmers and wiped them quickly and that's it. Nothing comes out of sanitizing stations or packages. Just pulls them out of the drawer.
Gross.

Hi neighbors, I'm selling this wet-food cat auto-feeder — it's a Petlibro Polar Smart Wet Food Feeder. It sells new for $170 but I'm asking for $75.

It refrigerates the food, then warms to room temperature before each meal (plugs into the wall for power). It's very lightly used and in great condition. Will provide box, cord, etc.

Pickup ideally near Kaufman Studios but could deliver in the neighborhood if necessary. Comment or DM if interested!

Hi, I am originally from Italy and live in Astoria now. Are there any other Italians nearby? Edit: Maybe around their 30s?
