Come party with the Astoria Music Society at its fundraiser at Island (36th St. and 35th Ave.) on Friday 6-9:30pm. A suggested donation of $20 at the door will be going to help continue symphony orchestra music, jazz, and chamber music. Come meet musicians, the orchestra director, and get to know AMS.
Saturday get ready for daylight savings by getting outside and get ready for Spring at the Annual Garden Clean-Up Day from 9am- 1pm at the Steinway Reformed Church (21-65 41st St) Contact Pastor Jeanne Boland at steinwaychurch@verizon.net or 718.728.2948 to help bring the garden back to life! This is a great chance to get dirty for those of us without a yard.... there are a lot of us!
Also on Saturday, 1 - 4:00pm Nicole Rae Styer will be visiting at Candy Plum (30-98 36th St) from Philadelphia. Tons of cute original wares will be for sale.
First thing Sunday, there is a deal and a half of a brunch over at Omonia (32-20 Broadway) as per The Foodista. $12.95 between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. buys you a heck of lot of pretty darn good food! Then walk it off and head to Magic of Astoria Arts & Crafts Market # 9 at Queensview Community Rooms #7 and #14 (21-15 34th Ave). Start your shopping with some super original gifts at 11 a.m. and keep it going till 6 p.m. Even just browsing is fun, there is so much crafty talent here in our little Astoria.

Astorian Weekend Edition 04.10.07
I finally made it to Lil Bistro 33 (19-33 Ditmars) and am kicking myself for not having gone there sooner! Find your way over there tonight and try the crawfish tempura slathered in a spicy mayo for $9. I'm thinking that and some rice and right there is a slammin' dinner! It was hands down the best thing to touch my lips all night. My main course of sushi was nothing to shrug at either. All this freshness for $19, hubba hubba!Help out Greek Aid on Friday at Central Bar and Lounge (20-30 Steinway St.) You may recall a post earlier for a fundraiser; here's another chance to get in on the giving. The fires in Greece had a huge impact and help is definitely still needed!
Saturday morning 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., take a 5 mile ride of the waterfront with Richard Melnick from the Greater Astoria Historical Society. Learn all kinds of stuff about the place you call home :) The jaunt will be meeting at Gantry Plaza State Park (48th Avenue & East River) and ending at Ralph de Marco Park. Please register with Karen at (718) 706-8044 or Karen.Overton@parks.nyc.gov
Saturday afternoon, the Astoria Music Society presents The East Side Five woodwind quintet at 3 p.m. at the Quinn Building (35-20 Broadway at 36th St, 4th floor.) Tickets are $12.
Sunday I plan on trying out some southern cuisine at Miriam's (34-11 Crescent). There aren't many -- if any other -- options for these tasty vittles in the hood, so why not?! I just got turned onto the place, so sorry for no review yet. Go there yourself and let's swap yummy finds!
