A quick look at some of the things we’re reading:
- “Weekend in New York” suggests a day trip to Astoria for Greek restaurants and culture. (This makes up for last week, when Seth Kugel recommended Manhattan as the place to go for ethnic grocery stores.) [NY Times]
- No one like the idea of CoEd selling off waterfront property for a FedEx depot. [Queens Gazette ]
- How can you eat on a budget in Astoria? We’d say it’s pretty easy, but here’s a whole thread at chowhounds. [chowhounds]
- One line buried in an article about the Javits Center and Willets Point brings back the on-again off-again idea that the Sunnyside Yards could maybe someday be home to a new convention center. In any case, Sunnyside Yards is definitely the sleeper in the Planyc 2030 proposal. [NY Sun]
