"Make sure you’re going to a big group picnic if you’re bringing a sandwich from Sal, Kris, & Charlie’s Deli. Each sandwich is the size and weight of a two-liter soda, and could comfortable feed your average little league team. Our favorite is The Bomb, loaded with several pounds of pastrami, mortadella, roast beef, hot capicola, two cheeses, pickled peppers, lettuce, tomato and onions, and mayo." - willa moore, will hartman, bryan kim, sonal shah
"The outdoor movie program at Astoria Park is back starting this week. They’re kicking things off on Friday, May 14th with two hours of wondering why Lady Gaga wants to date sweaty Bradley Cooper (aka, showing A Star Is Born). It’s completely free and we’d suggest getting there before 8:15pm when the show starts. Plus, we have an Astoria snack guide with everything you need for an excellent movie-watching experience in the area." - hannah albertine

"If you’ve ever taken the northeast regional out of Penn station, you’ve whirred past Astoria Park from high above, looking down at the lush, grassy waterfront green teeming with doll-sized families, dogs, frisbee-players, joggers, cartwheelers, and picnickers in rain, shine, snow, or mist. Astoria Park is just as lovely when you're splat in the middle of it as when you're taking it in from a bird's eye view. The spit of land lies under the Triborough Bridge, Hell Gate Bridge, and along the East River. Just short of 60 acres, it's one of the most expansive spaces in the nearer part of Queens: go here to do the somersaults the quarantine is just begging your body to perform."
"An Astoria restaurant cited as part of the wave of Thai spots that broadened New Yorkers' access to regionally inspired Thai dishes." - Chris Crowley
