Like a Phoenix?
While walking along 31st Street near the Ditmars train station this morning, I saw that substantial work had been done where the McDonalds/TwinDonut/31 fire had been. I am very curious to see what goes in...hoping not another McDonalds, ugh. Or another 99cent store or nail salon. Has anyone else seen this work being done, too? Or know what's going to be in that space?

Umm ... can we get a cute coffee shop or another sweet brunch spot, or something worthwhile? I don't need the McDonald's temptation! Or a 99 cent store. Gross.
Nice coffee shop around the corner and down: Freeze Peach!
Sweet brunch spot sounds nice.
I've been to Freeze Peach ... meh, though.
Coming from 37th Street, it might be nice to have something that isn't a laundromat, bank or bodega on THIS side of 31st. Have you been to the Igloo restaurant café thing on 31st? I've only looked at it.
Walking to Fatty's felt like the Iditarod a few weekends ago ...
Freeze Peach is a great place and I love it. I live down in the 37th Street vicinity, and don't find it too far. Waltz isn't really much farther, either, and it's probably more in the "cute" realm that you're thinking about. There's Tutakhamun on Ditmars near 27th/28th, too, but I haven't checked it out.
I love Igloo, too. It's more of a coffee shop/diner than a cafe (which is what FP is). The food is good, and they have desserts and ice cream.
Have you tried Wassi on 28th Ave and 38th Street?
No! I don't get out in Astoria much, except to do laundry and grocery shop. Whenever I get together with friends, they're always like NO COME TO MANHATTAN, so whatever. I pay the prices and enjoy myself, but what about the nabey, baby?
I'll have to check out Wassi and ALL those places you mentioned :D
I asked the woman at the veggie shop next door, and she didn't know either. I'm rooting for....small, dusty bookstore, with resident cat. But I think it'll be another McDonald's.
