Hi! I'm traveling up to Astoria/LIC, Queens, and I'm planning on grabbing lunch with my cousin. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for vegan friendly restaurants in the Astoria/LIC area that are not necessarily vegan. I think some cuisines I prefer are Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Laotian, and Italian, but I'm open to others! Any input regarding this would be much appreciated! Thanks so much!
Does anyone know any Chinese restaurants that delivers egg rolls in Long Island city?
so I work for a small local business and we had a bit of a rough year financially but I still want to put together a fun holiday party for our amazing team. what's an affordable (under $1000) option in the neighborhood for 20 or so people to have dinner and drinks? trying to think of a cute, modest space where we could maybe even bring in our own food and/or drinks.
p.s. before someone thinks they're smart with "people would rather have money" believe me, I already know, and if I were in charge of that decision I wouldn't even have made this post 🙃

I just wanted to give a small shout out to gantry home and hardware by court square station. I’ve been here a few times for random things ranging from looking for a niche sized battery, to getting keys copied, to looking grabbing some drano for my sink. Every time I’ve been there service has been amazing and the clerks are always very friendly. When I bought a battery and wasn’t sure about the size the clerk told me that if it didn’t fit my appliance I should bring it back and he would refund me.
With the new Target nearby the hardware store has been a bit quiet so I just wanted to shout them out here, and encourage people to support their business!
