DR G: Nice decor, a good place to linger, power points at the bar. Too bad the cocktails and mixed drinks are so dire.
Jase Eng: Great new bar/restaurant in the area with a casual vibe, good drinks, and friendly staff. Good use of space and plenty of seating for a small or large group. Tots and Shishito peppers tasty.

Korean Restaurant · 45 tips and reviews
Eric Reichbaum: Ask for the 동동소맥걸리주. Real good mixed drink.
Emily Ha: You must try the following dishes! Fresh octopus hot pot (only if you have at least 5 peeps b/c it's pricey and HUGE!), squash rice cakes, spicy crab stir-fry, grilled assorted shellfish. Yum!
NYC: The Official Guide: The bold can dig into live octopus, marinated snails, chicken feet and beef intestines. For extreme-cuisine daredevils: stir-fry with abomasum intestine, the fourth stomach in ruminant mammals.
Escape Cardona: This is a favorite spot of mine. The food is crafty , huge selection of beers and good mixed drinks. The crowds are chill and atmosphere is just right. 👌🏼
Amy Lav: Very cool bar. Digital menu board with all the beer specs. Definitely worth a stop!
Brew York: Forest Hills bites its craft beer chops on this spot serving 16 taps, a rotating cask engine, a bottle selection that’s two dozen deep, and a gut-busting gastropub-inspired food menu.

Italian Restaurant · Astoria · 63 tips and reviews
Rory: Favorite pizza spot in Astoria. Best Sicilians.
Matt Cherette: Sac's is my favorite restaurant in Astoria. The pizza is second-to-none (I order mine well-done), as are the homemade pastas and gnocchi (Mama's lasagna!), the asparagus and prosciutto, and much more!
Gil Wolchock: Please put roaches on the EXIT sign
Disney Corporation: They were so slow to even bring me water, I almost left. Finally ordered a mixed drink, and again, took so long I did leave.
Christian DeBonville: Phenomenal home fries, bacon is even better. Nice spot to eat outside
Jym Benzing: Just sat for 10 minutes, ignored. Watched waiter wait on others who just arrived. Had to leave. Went to Locale up the street instead
