Vibe Cafe and Lounge - Another Newbie on 30th Ave

Vibe Cafe and Lounge - 40-11 30th Avenue, Astoria, NY 11103
718.932.1212
N/W Train to 30th Avenue or R/V/G Trains to Steinway

Another cafe on 30th Ave? It's true that while Vibe isn't a unique concept--a Greek indoor/outdoor cafe--it's still a welcome spot on the Eastern side of 30th Avenue (past Steinway). Outdoor seating is located both in front and back of the house. The front seating puts you in the midst of the action on 30th Ave and the back garden seating is more private and guarded. I haven't seen this place too crowded yet, which is nice. You can count on Vibe for a laid-back Sunday afternoon coffee or a light sandwich with a friend.

The heat turns up on Fridays though, as Vibe presents Greek Nights with DJ Stamatis spinning "the best of Greek and today's hottest music." Check out this Mediterranean eatery and be prepared to shake it!
