Queens
Gaijin
37-12 31st Ave, Astoria, NY 11103
One of the best meals you can have in Astoria, and one of our favorite neighborhood date nights.
The name references its head chef, who loves Japanese cuisine.
Noguchi Museum
9-01 33rd Rd, Queens, NY 11106
A neighborhood jewel of a museum dedicated to the work and legacy of Japanese-American artist Isamu Noguchi. Visit the nearby Socrates Sculpture Park (and/or Costco) while at it!
Sonbobs
34-15 28th Ave, Astoria, NY 11103
Right around the corner from home! We come here everyday for our daily dose of Porto Rico coffee, conversation with Sonnie and her baked good(s) of the day.
Off the Hook Raw Bar & Grill
28-08 34th St, Astoria, NY 11103
Our local weekend haunt for oysters and rum punches.
Gantry Plaza State Park
474 48th Ave, Long Island City, NY 11101
The humblebrag city-lights waterfront of Queens. Grab a maple leaf latte from the nearby Sweetleaf Coffee and go for a stroll.
Taverna Kyclades
3307 Ditmars Blvd, Astoria, 11105
Our families both love this old Greek establishment. All the best seafood (our parents are crazy about the swordfish), beet salad and lemon potatoes.
Astoria Coffee
Best cappuccinos and lattes in our neighborhood.
Grace spent hours here writing her essays and fiction.
Pye Boat Noodle
35-13 Broadway, Astoria, NY 11106
Authentic Thai with a sweet broth made of pig blood.
Museum of the Moving Image
Another small and jewel-like museum in our neighborhood. Watch a film! Geek out over an architectural model used in Blade Runner!
Cafe Boulis
30-15 31st Ave, Astoria, NY 11106
We are INSANE about the loukoumades here.
They also specialize in thick Greek-style coffee, which is a must.
This hidden gem behind a cell phone store in Little Tibet is great for super spicy Liang Fen, chicken Momos and steaming hot tea.
Perfect for winter.
Lhasa Fast Food
Nan Xiang Xiao Long Pao
38-12 Prince St, Flushing, NY 11354
If you need to warm up, order a bowl of hot soy milk to dip fried batter into, and eat lots of soup dumplings here!
