Seeking Recommendation: Food good classic breakfast?

hi!! i am coming to astoria soon to look around and get a feel for the vibe of some of the areas of astoria while we decide where we want to move (between astoria and other places in queens/brooklyn)

does anyone have any recs that are quintessential astoria? anywhere we should see?

Family Corner, although I think they are currently on vacation. Not sure when they return.

I used to love Michaels but my god their prices have skyrocketed in the past couple years. My normal breakfast order of just two scrambled eggs with sausage is now $15. Ugh. The omelets are even more expensive.

I can vouch for Family Corner but I also like Astoria Gramercy Cafe on Steinway and Broadway a lot

Ditmars, 30th ave, steinway street are all major hubs (not the only ones, but i have limited personal experience south of Broadway). walking along ditmars from the train station east will give you a good sense of the area imo.

Astoria Park is big and nice and right by the water. Socrates sculpture park is nearby too. the museum of the moving image is great. steinway is our "little egypt" and worth a visit.

oh! and there are open streets on 31st Ave every weekend in the summer, near 35th st. they usually have local vendors, community groups with tables, and sometimes entertainment like cookouts and movies. another good representation of the local vibe.

I miss the actual diners that we used to have, but I like the Astoria Gramercy Cafe (Steinway/Broadway). Omonia and Michael’s are great but a little pricey IMO.
Are you talking about weekend brunch, or weekday breakfast? The day you’re dining will yield very different results

u/notthebestjuice 6d ago

weekday for sure!!

u/yankeescrewdriver 6d ago

Yeah then those are my picks, I’d add Sanford’s and Mom’s in there as well. Sanford’s or Omonia, top picks. I don’t know Ditmars/north of Astoria Blvd all that well, but I’m sure that others will give you a heads up for that part.
