An area on the western side of Queens, New York City. Your only zone schools are LIC and Bryant High school. One of the most diverse neighborhoods with almost every ethnicity possible. You know about Astoria projects, Ravenswood And Queensbridge. HAs many beautiful places such as Astoria Park which is the place to be during the summer. Crazy nightlife, teenage drinking and a hookah bar on every block, Astoria is one of the places to be.

Get the Astoria mug.A neighborhood on the western end of Queens, New York. Renowned for its large Greek immigrant population, Astoria is also a traditional Italian stronghold. More recently, the area has become a gloriously polyglot mixture of almost every identifiable ethnic group on the planet while also providing residence for large numbers of white middle-class twenty- and thirtysomethings from the rest of the United States. Currently favored for its relatively low rents, relatively low crime rates, European-style cafe culture, and phenomenal variety of ethnic restaurants and grocers. Shows a pleasant tendency to be immune to the average wave of mall-culture gentrification; Starbucks and the Gap may be present, but not in a way that overwhelms the whole situation. On the other hand, the subway situation is marginal at best and often infuriating.
Average person on 30th avenue: God, what am I going to have for dinner? Pizza, Chinese, something at a cafe, Indian, Mexican, Japanese, Greek, Thai, Brazilian, five pints of Guinness, something from that Latin place, a burger, vegetarian...if only the kitchen in my apartment wasn't so useless.
Resident watching hordes of Italians hanging out of cars, waving flags, screaming, laughing, dancing, screwing in the streets: I guess the World Cup final is over.
Upper West Side resident visiting Astoria-based friend: Your rent is HOW MUCH?!?!?
Resident heading back home after a show at the Mercury Lounge: Friggin' impossible stupid N train....
Resident headed to work on a random morning: Friggin' impossible stupid N and W trains....
