I broke my ankle last week and got surgery. I was told that I won’t be able to lift weights for a while, but when I am able to work out again, he suggested calisthenics. I would have to learn how to train properly in an inexpensive way. Group settings are good too.
I can't remember the name of a bakery in Astoria -
It's small and i think has short hours - till around 4pm?
the pastries look gorgous - they also have smash burgers and chx sandwiches -
Does this ring a bell with anyone?
Edit: thank you reddit community. The answer is Little Flower.
i've been heading a low but loud "singing" voice over a speaker for a couple hours. Sounds like its coming from Steinway and 35th ave area. Anyone follow the siren call yet?

Hey Y'all I live at Ditmars, a regular on the N.
Some time between 5th Ave and Ditmars on Thursday (6:15pm ish - 6:45pm ish) I was either hit, fell over, got my head bashed at some point... and could not form memories for 24 hours. I still have most my belongings but my AirPods themselves seem to have fallen off around 59th and Lex...
Hoping to hear if anyone saw something strange on the Queens bound N train, Thursday afternoon. I was in one of the middle cars, white shoes, gray jacket, sweatpants with the faces of dogs on them (you would've noticed the dogs - they're clear enough).
Let me know if you saw anything. Appreciate it❤️
Hi Astoria! Do you have a reliable place where you can get cornish hens?
Hello, I'm having some friends over this month and do not have enough seating or cozy lighting. If you are looking to sell chairs & lamps, I'm interested in buying!
Hi everyone,
I live on 36th avenue in Astoria which places me close to two bars and more importantly a garage that houses food carts. This garage is I think the major issue as they sometimes leave the food carts double Parked and then the honking of several cars and even more fun trucks ! Start happening until they move (sometimes for more than 10 min) This starts early 5-7 am and then sporadically throughout the day and night.
I don’t mind people from bars screaming and laughing all the way to their cars, I do mind these people blasting music at 3 am on a Sunday night who don’t think of others when doing this.
With all that said, ive tried different types of earpieces to keep the noise out but they fall out or hurt my ear. Any other suggestions ? Can I do something with my local council ?
Lately I’ve been stressed with work which already disturbs my sleep, when Im finally going to REM I hear these noises and I’m up again several times at night. Any suggestions help as I’m starting the heavily feel the side effects of all this.
Please note, I can’t move. My budget doesn’t really allow it at the moment but boy am I working towards the day I can move into a more quiet residential area.
Every time I pass by this sign my brain cracks a little bit.
Do you interpret this to mean:
A) Let’s Eat! (Like a “mangiamo tutti” sort of thing) B) Come in — there’s enough food to go around! C) When you come to this establishment, you’d better not be the non-eater! D) Everybody has a biological need to eat!
Or is there a simpler explanation that’s going completely over my head?
This man has been stationed at the deli in front of Burger King almost every day, yelling for hours on end. It’s been over a month now, and I feel bad for him but it’s also exhausting. Am I the only one noticing this? Or has something similar happened near you?
Hello, my husqvarna jade 20 sewing machine is in need of fixing due to the bobbin spool getting ripped out after a bobbin was stuck on it.
Any recommendations for near by places that will fix my machine? And preferably one that won’t break the bank I would love to spend under $100 if possible (I’m not sure how much this costs)
Under the N/W line.
I’ve been trying to find units in Astoria and have not found one that I feel comfortable with. But what I’ve noticed is that the rate of new listings seems stagnant compared to other neighborhoods.
My pain point of reference are the neighborhoods in west Brooklyn. It seems like they have several new listing every other day while Astoria might get a handful of new ones over a couple weeks. Obviously this observation is limited to my app of choice (streeteasy) but something seems odd
Was just leaving 2401 Deli and saw a silver SUV southbound on 31st Street make a left onto 24th Ave both cutting off oncoming traffic (bad driving) and almost mow down a family of 3 (really bad driving). They yelled at the driver who rolled down her window,stopped her car in the middle of the street (still bad driving) and screamed at everybody that she knows how to drive. Just awful. I don’t like that intersection, the delis great tho, and we all don’t like bad drivers. Shout out to the people and the parents navigating this mess. It’s raining, drive carefully.
Hoping someone has been called for jury duty recently and knows the answer: is the "jury sequence number" I.e. X1234 the last four digits of your juror index number? Big thanks if anyone knows. Lost the summons but I have my juror number.

Hi all! Sorry for the late rumor mill, I had to come out of my blanket burrito. What are the latest rumors and cool things happening in Astoria this week?
Hi all! I'm looking for a third party mold testing company for my apartment off of 31st and crescent. I was wondering if anyone had any recs/positive experiences? Thanks in advance!
Hi! I am looking to host a bridal shower in Astoria/Ditmars/LIC. Does anyone know of any good places to rent or restaurants we can block off a section of?
I’d already reach out to the Bonnie, but unfortunately they are out of budget.
Hi everyone! I have a friend who went to Mexico and absolutely loved the green La Anita sauce. I’d love to find some for him but it’s apparently a tricky sauce to find.
Does anyone recall seeing this brand at your local grocery place in the neighbourhood? I’ve checked the Broadway/Crescent area supermarkets and haven’t seen it around here.
EDITED TO ADD: sauce acquired! Redditor sleepy_sloth_17 wins the good neighbour award for the day because they brought me some from Mexico City! Amazing! I’m so joyful and grateful for my neighbours :)
Thanks Astoria!! <3
Has anyone else had issues with car thieves or break ins recently? My vehicle was recently stolen off of 27th st and then recovered but was attempted to be broken into last night as well.
Hey guys, I will be at the museum of the moving image with my girlfriend on Valentine's Day, and was wondering if anyone had any good spots to get dinner after? Thank you!
