Queens Comfort


If you are ever in the mood to completely clog you arteries while enjoying every bite, Queens Comfort is your place. Queens Comfort is a hot spot with the locals and that's exactly how I was told about it. My friend and Astoria local, Phanavanh, introduced me to Queens Comfort last weekend and since then I swear I want to live in Astoria. I maybe exaggerating a tiny bit about moving, but the food was just SO GOOD.



I was planning on reading over the menu when I sat down in the tiny, crowed restaurant but my mind was instantly made up when I glanced at the plate next to me. I said "I'll have that!" The server walked away and I said to Phanavanh "I don't even know what I just ordered." Fear not though, I do have an eye for amazing food after all!
Fried Mac N' Cheese


After a short wait, our food arrived. Phanavanh dove into some fabulous Chicken and Waffles and I had a breakfast sandwich with the best tots ever. The sandwich was scrambled egg, cheese and fried sausage patty with a dollop of a tangy cranberry sauce on an English muffin. OH MY GOODNESS. It was mind blowing and I didn't want it to end. But eventually it did, so we paid then bill and went and got mani pedis. Five star day all the way.

Studio Square NYC- The Ultimate Beer Garden

To celebrate Memorial Day, Alex and I took an adventure North of Brooklyn. We got off of the R train in Astoria, Queens on 36th street, walked a few blocks and discovered an awesome Beer Garden called Studio Square NYC. OK, I can't take all of the credit for this magnificent find because this was the preplanned meeting location for our friends, but we did get their first!
 Studio Square NYC is this amazing gem in Astoria, Queens where all the locals come. It's a massive event and entertainment complex that "brings the spirit and traditions of an open-air German beer garden into the modern era." It's freaking huge, over 30,000 square feet to be more precise. This is what Studio Square NYC says about their beer;

"In The Garden, we take beer very seriously.  Our custom tap delivery system is one of the most advanced tap system in the world.  Employing theperfect blend of science and technology to deliver each of our brews at the precise temperature for maximum enjoyment."
 
Our drinks of choice: Sangria and Loaded Lemonade.
Not only is Studio Sqaure NYC known for having great beer and a great space, they also have a grill when you get a hunger craving. I saw so many massive buckets of fries while I was there that I almost caved and got one too. Luckily, I got over this craving once I thought about how many squats I would have to perform to work it off. Their grill menu consists of typical bar food like burgers, hot dogs, salads and fries and the best part is it's super cheap. Two bratwurst with fries for $8. Can't beat it!
Oh. My. Fry.
This place also hosts events most nights of the week, but if you don't want to participate in their activities you can always bring along your set of Taboo or cards like the locals do. Tuesdays they have a free movie nights and Thursdays is Karaoke with a live band. For full event details click here.

Studio Sqaure NYC is located at 35-33 36th street, Long Island City, NY 11106.
