Astoria is one of our favorite neighborhoods with its East River access, growing food scene, and diverse cast of characters.
"I HAD to order the "with everything" or what they call X-Tudo ($6.50). It does in fact have everything on it and did not disappoint! In the warm bun, layered oh so carefully- there was a perfectly herb seasoned beef patty, some ham that had been set on the grill for a slight toasting, fresh bacon, a fried egg with a touch of softness to the yolk, corn nibblets, tomato, lettuce and mayo. Sounds crazy right? Somehow this was so delicious and light that it filled me up but I was still able to comfortably eat half the dessert without that "oh no I ate too much" feeling! I highly recommend this dish."
Tickets are free, but as of this morning, there were only 35 seats left, so make your reservations now! (There will also be a waiting list.)
Can you name the neighborhood? Spell it out in the comments.
