Astoria / Queens

Laid-back Astoria is a multicultural neighborhood of low-rise residences and small businesses, in Queens. Known for its Greek tavernas and cafes, the area is home to a variety of traditional ethnic eateries and trendy spots. The Museum of the Moving Image, with its exhibits about film, television and digital media, is a top draw. The open-air Bohemian Beer Garden and Astoria Park hum with activity in warm weather.
