About Sac...
- It's terrible. If you want pizza, try Gino's. Much less ambiance, but way better food.

It's like Michigan in NYC
- Astoria used to be awesome. Until it got overrun by very-vanilla, very dull, midwestern transplants. They're all like carbon copies of each other but each one thinks that THEY are it - THE eccentric NY'er. Ugh! Gimme a break. Nowadays in Astoria you feel as if you're walking down a street in Michigan or Minnesota. Oh, and by the way, the WASP transplants have driven the prices up to Manhattan levels too. L-A-M-E!

Neighborhood Bakery
- Parisi! I live just 2 blocks from this classic neighborhood bakery, and it is a staple in my Astoria neighborhood. Warm service, warm bread, and super affordable prices--this is a must visit for Astorians!

Parisi Bakery
- Ok - It's silly, but I was super pumped to see this place has mini black and white cookies. Now I don't feel guilty when splurging on my favorite sweet treat! (And they're amazing!!)

Parisi Bakery
- Nothing starts my day like stopping by Parisi Bakery right by the train stop at 31st and Broadway. The smell of fresh baked bread, the friendliest smiles and a great cup of coffee greet me each morning. I've gone to Parisi for years now and find it's the best whether I'm looking for a fresh loaf of bread to go with dinner, delicious baked goods for a special event, or a quick cup of Lavazza on the go. A true gem in the neighborhood.

Got Empanadas?
- If you want to try the most delicious Empanadas in New York, then venture off to Astoria and try Got Empanadas. They are located at 25-08 34th Avenue, Astoria NY 11106. By far the tastiest, freshest dough you will ever taste.

S'Agapo in Astoria~34-31 34th Ave
- Have not been in a long time as we lived out of state for past two years - but we look forward to returning to S'Agapo in Astoria! Their appetizers, seafood (including non breaded octopus) was incredible! A real home style environment adds to the comfort of this neighborhood gem!

I second Mundo!
- I've only ever been once, and that was enough to make me a fan. Everything I had was delicious, the food was reasonably priced, and the signature Red Sonja definitely doesn't disappoint!

ROSE AND JOE’S BAKERY
- 31st Street between Ditmars and 23rd Avenue. Roe’s and Joe’s is a family owned Italian bakery serving the best semolina, french, and speciality breads in Queens, no contest. However, it’s best kept secret is the sicilian PIZZA served at the back of the bakery. I am Italian and grew up in astoria, my grandmother from Sicily used to make pizza from scratch and this is very close to how it tastes. Also, try the biscotti it’s not better than Villabate in Bensonhurst but pretty good.
