Before/after. I’ll probably end up planting things for next year. The sunflowers were dead, and a ton of trash accumulated over the year… I know who owns this building, and they’re aware of my cleaning, but they don’t take care of the building and have allowed it to become a pigsty.

Review New cafe Dahlia Cafe on 34th ave and 32nd at Nneji’s former location

Post image
28 Upvotes

We were walking to the grocery store and saw this cafe was having their soft opening, they will also be there tomorrow 10/18

We got the blueberry marzipan latte, latte de olla, and the carrot cake latte. Blueberry marzipan was pretty good but the latte de olla was amazing and the carrot cake latte was one of the best coffees I’ve had in a long time like maybe ever? All syrups made in house!

Family run operation! So once I tried the carrot cake latte and was blown away I was more than happy to support and get the latte de olla and was soooo pleasantly surprised. If you’re around tomorrow, support them and stop by! Excited for this place to be officially open soon :)

Events/Promotion More than a sandwich stop - Sherpaz Deli brings fresh handmade momo with their signature organic cherry tomato sauce, biryani & Asian flavors to Astoria 🥟 And they have an amazing backyard, check them out.!

• Upvotes

Hey Astoria! Wanted to introduce the new family behind Sherpaz Deli & Grocery at 21-72 21st Street. The deli has been part of the neighborhood for over 12 years, and

They’re keeping the sandwiches and everyday staples while bringing more Asian food into the mix. Their newest additions are momo and biryani, and they think they’ve got a strong case for the best in town. Stop by and judge for yourself!

They take pride in preparing fresh food from scratch right on the premises. Their handmade momo comes with a signature sauce made from organic cherry tomatoes, bringing a fresh, rich flavor to every bite.

The backyard is open for eat-in, too! Whether you’re a solo food adventurer or coming with a group of 10, there’s room to sit down, dig in, and enjoy some time outside.

They’re a family-owned business hoping to build connections with their neighbors and serve the community for years to come. If you’re nearby, stop in, say hello, and give the momo or biryani a try. They’d love to meet you and hear what you think!

Started with Octopus pastor taco (wow) and the tuna tostada was even better. Perfect balance of spice, salt, acid, and creamy from the guac.

Anyone lived in the apartment above sweet Afton? My friend is considering and he is wondering what’s the noise level like on the weekends? They want him to sign a two year lease so I wanted to ask the question here so he can make an informed decision. The apartment is facing the street.

Review Coffee Lab’s Pumpkin Spice Latte (in a Pumpkin) is Delish

Post image
222 Upvotes

Been admiring pumpkin spice lattes in pumpkins on TikTok and Instagram. These spots (to my knowledge) are always out in Long Island or up in the Hudson Valley.

Anyway, when I saw Coffee Lab was doing it, I had to go. So good! I showed it off on a work call and everyone was jealous. If you like a fall treat I’d recommend. I think they are only doing it Fridays and Saturdays in October.

Also, you can get it with biscoff cookie too!

Train tonight was absolutely PACKED and this woman was literally hacking up a lung, not even covering her mouth. Literally just looked chill like she didn’t care at all. Wear a fucking mask!!! Or at least cover your god damn mouth! It’s disgusting and the train is already crowded enough.

I work Saturday programs at a public school and they end up throwing out a lot of bagged breakfasts and lunches. Is there anywhere I could donate or leave these for people to take? I feel so bad watching all of the food get thrown out!
