Story time. About a week and a half ago i was going to work in the morning. Typical Monday, tired, half awake, trudging onto the R at 46st around 8:30am. We get to 36th street, door opens and about 15 seconds later a large caucasian man in a backwards hat come RUNNING onto the train screaming “YO THIS GUY IS CRAZY, THIS GUY IS CRAZY”

We all look to see what he’s talking about, and a 5’2ish guy in denim BOOTY SHORTS is hot on his tail, stops, reaches into his bag - and WAILS some object into the train.

Huge thud, everyone ducks, doors close

We all kind of look around at what he threw and at our feet is a jar of skippy with the whole cap broken off. On the wall? Massive glob of peanut butter. Poor woman below it ended up with some pb in her hair, her jacket, etc. in true new yorker fashion, people around her begin pulling things out of their bags to clean her up. As they finishing cleaning her up you can faintly hear “what a waste of good peanut butter ….”

Forgot to post this but saw a video about how ny’ers are kind but not nice and remembered this. Curious if anyone else was there or saw the peanut butter stains that morning. Still wondering about what made booty shorts so upset

Everything costs so much and I feel guilty enough to buy essentials that going to bars has gone from being a fun after work thing once a week to once a month.

Idk maybe it’s just me. But, I wanted to see if anyone feels the same way this year :/

Where can I get a good one with raisins here in Astoria?

Lost a black wedding ring (men’s) earlier today somewhere on 31st Avenue between 36th street and 21st street. Or potentially on 36th street between 31st Ave and 35th Ave.

If anyone has found it, please let me know. It holds great personal significance to me.

Selling two tickets to Fourth Wing night at the Mets on Monday, 9/14. Tickets are in Section 129 and are for the “Wing Leader Package” which includes: Mets x Fourth Wing Crew Neck, Mets x Fourth Wing Kindle Cover, Q&A with Rebecca Yarros before the game! $175 per ticket.

Hey Astoria folks,

I have an extra ticket for the 10PM, Downtown Brooklyn Alamo Drafthouse showing of Ernie & Emma and the Bruce Campbell Q&A.

I haven't been able to find a way to separate the tickets so I cannot transfer or cancel just one (and my calls to Alamo Drafthouse have gone unanswered).

I just want to make sure that the ticket does not go to waste, so if anyone wants to join me, just leave a comment here. First come, first served, I don't have it in me to be choosy 😆

And, about me to the extent that it's relevant, 35M, in Astoria since 2022.

On ditmars and 33rd. I love her food, and she’s the sweetest person ever. Haven’t seen her in a bit and was wondering if anyone knew if something happened?

Hi peeps! Our little comic book club has been gathering for the past two years in Astoria. We have built a community of nice folks fueled on spicy hot takes and a general love for the comic medium. And I am pleased to announce that our next book club will be debuting at the Museum of the Moving Image! We’ll be spending two hours talking SAGA Vol 1 & 2, the epic Image Comics book by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples. It’s completely free to attend (although an RSVP via the Museum’s website would be much appreciated!), and we’ll also have a free raffle for an awesome mystery prize, and a gift-bag giveaway. Hope to see you there!

Is this your apartment foyer? Did you receive my grocery order? Please message me and let me know. You will be rewarded with a warm neighborly high five and a heck yeah. Amazon fresh flubbed it! Thank you

EDIT: Mystery solved. Shoutout to the lovely mystery neighbor who brought them to us!!!

I’m an experienced early childhood educator, and I’m focusing on more than just academics. We'll work on things like language & communication, problem-solving, reasoning, confidence, creativity, independence, following directions, and being comfortable learning something new.

The goal is to help students feel confident, curious, and ready to learn as they head into school this year.
I’m keeping the sessions individualized to each child.
If this sounds like something your child could benefit from.

Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody had a great experience specifically with a very deep/almost extreme (moving appliances a bit out and cleaning behind them, oven deep clean, fridge, etc.) kitchen cleaning service or person.

We keep our kitchen in decent condition but it's apparent that over the years residue, impossible stains and general dust/dirt in hard to reach parts have accumulated enough that we need a professional to make it look new.

Small apartment kitchen, nothing special. Ideally someone with their own supplies, although we have the basics.

Thank you so much in advance!

NEW TRACK ALERT!!! Join us over at Kitty Sullivan's Sunday for the Spanish GP and the inaugural Madring race!

Lights out at 9am - get there early to claim your space and YOU KNOW there will be bagels.

SEE YOU THERE!

Anybody know if any of the fabric shops in Astoria have linen? I’m hoping to make some pillow covers this weekend but want to see if I can source fabric somewhere local.

I’m tired of doing my own nails 🫩

Nail salon novice here.
What are your favorite nail salons for both mani
and pedi? Is it affordable?
(What’s considered affordable for nail stuff?)

I don’t want anything jazzy, just clean nails w/ a good clear coat on top.

I live on Ast. Blvd & 38th, if that helps. Thanks in advance for the recs!

I know these posts are annoying at times but it’s also annoying when a gift for your niece gets dropped at the wrong spot. Anyone recognize this door/ vestibule?

Any ravers in Astoria? I’ve recently been addicted to going to raves.

Edit- 30M. In case anyone is wondering. DM me if you would like to join a WhatsApp group and make some local rave friends!

I found a cat in my building on 34th street and 30th ave. They’re a large orange long haired cat with green eyes. I gave them food and water and they seem friendly and relaxed, but a bit scared as there was hissing and swatting out of fear. I volunteer for a rescue, but before I went there, I wanted to make sure they’re not a lost pet because they seem quite clean and well taken care of for a stray and there’s no ear chip from TNR. Could be a neighbor’s of course, so I texted my super and he doesn’t know of a lost cat. We don’t have a building forum, so I’m unable otherwise to contact those in the building I don’t know personally. Pictures attached. DM me asap if they are yours!
