In my neighborhood of Astoria queens there is a sandwich shop named Sal, Kris, & Charlie's Deli where for $10 you can get a 14 inch Italian sub named "The Bomb" with every deli meat ever made on it.

Nice blog post and astoria sucks dick. I used to by there a lot but would avoid it when I could. It's a shithole. Are you posting that blog post to try to push up property values for a nigger neighborhood?

It's mostly /pol/ people too. I think because Astoria is nothing but Greeks and Eastern Europeans so it attracts all the white supremacists

I love everything on this sandwich except the soft yellow slices on the bottom and the bread choice.

>>11986340
Go suck ass somewhere else. Iceberg lettuce holds up extremely well despite acidity and is perfect for holding some seasoning between the layers of a large sandwich. Just don't let the fucker sit around for hours otherwise it will lose it's crunch. Even then the texture isn't go to be any more than spinach or something.

Why is Astoria so expensive? A 1 bedroom is practically Morningside Heights money and for what? Jet engine noises? Greasy wops? An above ground subway?

There isn't even a single Asian grocery store, you have to go to Woodside which requires a transfer at Queensboro Plaza or getting into a cage.

I own a co-op in Astoria mortgage and maintenance is $1000 a month for 700 sqft 1br I own with estimated value of $250k. When I pay this off it will be just $500 a month for maintenance.

Some guy from this site probably /pol/ lives in my building because I occasionally here the Serbian war meme song being blasted every now and then.

Yeah I was talking more purchase price. I don't understand who would pay $500k for a 1 bedroom in a culture desert. It's wh*teoid land, and not even the good kind (Jews). For instance there's no classical music scene to speak of, there's nowhere to buy normal vegetables and mushrooms, or a decent selection of rice, or soy sauce other than Kikkoman.

Joke's on you--I was paying $1800/mo for a studio in downtown Denver for the last several years. Even Fort Collins and Boulder are fuck-off expensive these days...I just moved to Cleveland and pay $300/mo for a three-bedroom house. Denver, Seattle, Portland, and Austin are quickly becoming too expensive to live in if you want to live downtown

I don't live in Astoria but I live in a 1914 building. It's not fun unless it's a high end coop building and if it's that, the maintenance is going to be astronomical because surprise surprise, it costs a fortune to maintain building technology that was developed 100 years ago

Has anyone been to that new place on Ditmars, Oli.vine? Thinking about checking it out this week.

Have also not been to the Latin place that opened up on Ditmars recently (don't know the name).

Another Astoria anon here this town has been ruined by hipsters and Jews tearing businesses down to build more apartments. Any culture Astoria had is gone.

I hear you. I live in an older apartment complex in Seattle that was built in the 50s. The apartment can't consistently hold heating worth a shit so my heating bill becomes astronomical during the colder months.

Most of the radiators in NYC were rebuilt during the Spanish Flu of 1918, the conventional wisdom at the time was that leaving the windows wide open in the depths of winter was the only way to survive if you got the flu. So all residential buildings were required to have radiators that could keep you from freezing to death in January when you had all the windows to your apartment completely open all night long. Precise control was not a concern. You can retrofit with these special devices that are pretty much only sold in NYC but they're still not all that effective so you basically have to choose between freezing or baking to death, and women being women, the building always opts for baking to death.

500 includes tax, heat and electricity and maintenance cost. For example the sidewalk outside now will be clear of snow all night thanks to the maintenance guys.

If you live in NYC and you don't plan on moving I highly suggest buying a coop, Condo if you can afford it. There are some very good deals only issue is you need 50k as a down payment.
