New Kids on the Block: November Openings
Get inspired by locals who are opening their own business this season! It is time to discover new comfort foods, mind-blowing body art, and handmade jewelry, ranging from luxurious to inexpensive and experimental made by one of our youngest features yet!
Notable Astoria
Their blend of Jamaican and American food is beyond worthy of checking out! The famous jerk chicken is on the menu daily, but make sure to come early enough before it sells out for the day. Their sandwiches are mouth-watering, especially their egg, bacon, and cheese sandwich for a scrumptious breakfast. Open for every meal, starting at 6am.

Beads By Romi
Romina, a courageous 10-year-old entrepreneur from Astoria, started her own bracelet business during the pandemic, and she is a Rockstar! We are here to give her a big shout-out and let people know to look for her at various pop-ups and street fairs. She makes all the bracelets herself, and even takes custom orders. It all started with a kit of beads that she received for Christmas and voila, her new talent was discovered. She loves to make people smile and once you meet her, you are surely going to want to return her ever infectious smile! You go, girl!
