actstoria 

Nickname for the Astoria, Queens neighborhood in New York City. Formerly an ethnic, working class neighborhood, in recent years it has been a popular place for theatre professionals to live- cheaper than Manhattan and 20 minutes to mid-town on the N, Q, R subway lines.

Derek's been looking for a new apartment, preferably in Actstoria, so he can have an easy commute to both the play he's in, and his job waiting tables.

Astoria 

Welcome to Astoria. An N ride 5 stops from Manhattan. If you live here and you talk to somebody else who's not from Astoria, the first question you will automatically hear is "Are you Greek?". If you're a white kid, you went to McClancy or some other Catholic School, if you're not you went to LIC or Bryant. You know about Ravenswood and Queensbridge. And you realize that the streets closest to the East River are fucked up.

But Astoria is still the greatest

Astoria 

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.

We out to Astoria later or what?

astoria 

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....

Attoria 

A strong and confident lady that takes no shit from anyone. She is graceful and eligent in her own ways. She is strong and confident in herself and others. She gives good advice and is there when you need her. She is a great friend that cares about you. She is goofy and okward. She can be embarrassed very easily by others and I very sensitive. She is not afraid to speak what she feels is right, but she is afraid to tell you what she feels inside. She loves to be with others. She is very intelligent in many ways. She is usually taller than many others. Many people think she is word and funny but she most likely is great at many forms of art.

Attoria fights back for what is right
