took a trip over to queens to see the hold steady play on a roof deck. it was a quick show but certainly a lot less crowded than the last time i saw them with 4k other fans in prospect park….

queens
there are many parts of queens that most new yorkers will never visit unless they live there or are perhaps passing through on an unusual errand. a couple of weeks ago a friend of mine heard about an old tunnel in astoria from the 1800’s – curiosity got the best of me and so, one cold sunday, i headed over to check it out. turns out there wasn’t much to see as the tunnel only extended about 200 feet before our passage was blocked by a heavy steel door. defeated by not done, we drove around college point and checked out some odd corners that seemed about as far from new york city proper as humanly possibly.

dollar grub
“It’s a happy day for my stomach. The chicken tamale is succulent and piquant, with tasty shards of fowl. It’s an affordable, portable protein packet.” – Josh Berstein
went out to eat cheap eats with josh (who cracks me up) for a $1 dollar food feature – read more about it on metromix
