Kevin Walsh and I were chatting recently, and it was decided that we should go out to the Rockaways and do a bit of exploring. We agreed to not reference a certain song as well. Leaving from Astoria, an R Line train carried me to 59 Lex, and that’s where I transferred to the 5…

Around a week or so ago, Kevin Walsh spotlighted the Playbill Manufacturing Plant in this Q’Stoner post from May 23rd. Today, we get to see what’s happening behind the walls. The Woodside institution has been in the neighborhood since the 1960s, and recently I was invited inside the plant. Here’s what I found when I…
Several times over the last couple of weeks, my friends have endured the announcement that I harbored a desire to go the zoo. They all started rattling off about how easy it is to get to the Bronx or Central Park from Astoria, and I was forced to interrupt their advice. Why leave Queens, if…
The pictures are meh but this is superb writing. Kudos for work well-done. Suggestion for next time: maps.
A Guide to Myrtle Avenue, the Spine of Ridgewood"Unfortunately 911 era signage adorns the thing, carrying one of those meaningless and unconstitutional missives which attempted to equate photography of the public space with terrorist activity." You guys are the best. I wish I was there with you!
Kevin and Mitch Go To the Beach, Part OneIt's empty on a Saturday morning. If you have a membership it feels like your very own private zoo!
A Trip to the Queens ZooMy husband and I attended last night and the show was truly amazing. The venue was absolutely packed and created this unbelievable energy during the show. We've heard since that there were some major problems with people not being able to get into the show who had tickets. We were there about an hour after the gates opened and didn't experience any issues with seats. Our only complaints were that getting food and booze took forever and that to leave, all 17,000 people were routed out of one exit. It took about 30 minutes just to exit the venue. Seemed like somewhat normal growing pains given the venue hasn't been used for a concert since the 80's. The small headaches aside, it really an incredible show by Mumford & Sons.
