Oct. 7, 2008 From Yelp.com: I really like this place. I eat there once a week, once a ten days. I like it cause I can make my own dish depending on my cravings or my diet. Sometimes veggies sometimes meat. Everything looks and…

Oct. 7, 2008 From Yelp.com: If you buy grocery items with labels on them in foreign languages, and calories given in metrics and servings listed with obscure symbols Then it's not that bad for ya. As a matter of fact, it's…

Oct. 6, 2008 From Yelp.com: Great personal foccacia pizza. Lots of different one's to chose from. You can order regular pizzas as well. This is a gem hidden within Old Astoria.

Oct. 6, 2008 From Yelp.com: I generally HATE vintage stores. They always seem to be not only pretentious but full of ugly overpriced clothes. But Loveday has got it down to a science. Tons of great dresses- as if the owner had…

Oct. 5, 2008 From Yelp.com: A Good selection of beers, friendly employees, tolerable music, a nice patio out back, and an inventive way of washing your hands (though unnecessarily wasteful) make the Hell Gate Social a pretty…

Oct. 5, 2008 From Yelp.com: This place is such a shithole. The only reason you ALWAYS see people sitting outside is because well....there's outdoor seating, coffee, and the waitresses are attractive and speak Greek. Other than…

Oct. 5, 2008 From Yelp.com: A nondescript pizza joint ran by Calabro, the man himself. The cheese pies are the best I had in all of Queens or Manhattan...and I ate pizza at a new place nearly every day for a week. The…

Oct. 5, 2008 From Yelp.com: I've only had one meal at Zlata Praha; late one weekend night back in late winter/early spring earlier this year. There were only one or two other dining parties at the tables in the back, but there…

Oct. 5, 2008 From Yelp.com: Came here for the Oktoberfest celebration last weekend. It was lively. The beer was flowing and I think there was (what I believe to be) a polka band playing. The back patio area is huge and…

Oct. 3, 2008 From Yelp.com: The spinach pie here is the best I have ever had, by far. Perfect ratio of spinach to feta, with perfectly cooked onions. The baklava is delicious too. Yaya's is a real gem.

Sept. 30, 2008 From Yelp.com: This place would be awesome if more people went! The owner is great, always hooks us up with shots or drinks... oh yeah he's nice too. The music is always different when I go there. It ranges from Hip…
