Astorian Weekend Edition - December 9
by Joey In Astoria

Snow! -- as in white flakes that fall from the sky. It will be a nice weekend to stroll down to Astoria Park. Should be pretty in white, but honestly, enough with the hipster Ugg crap. I'm so sick of those things I could puke.

Well, frolic in three inches of snow, and afterwards you may need to thaw out a bit. Nothing liquor can't fix. Try a nice glass of something with vodka at the Crescent Lounge (32-05 Crescent St). Velvet couches and all.

This weekend is prime time to eat something with "hot" in the title, like the best hot doggers in the City, right on Astoria Blvd (San Antonio Bakery #2, 36-20 Astoria Blvd). Then stay warm at Freeze Peach Cafe (22-00 29th St) with hot tea and bitchin bluegrass act Brownbird Rudy Relic, from 7:30 p.m. on Sunday.

If you've got your fill of outdoorsy snowiness, then stay in and peruse my roundup of QNS bloggers. Why am I rounding them up? Cause I like snow so much I'm moving to Vermont. No kidding. But three new Queens of Astorian will be contributing to Joey in Astoria, so stay tuned. I'll be around for a couple more weeks to break them in.
