A New Foodista is Coming - Celebrate with Me!


+


Well readers...the time has come for me to make some necessary changes to this site.  Not to worry, as all the content I provide you will remain, and I hope to step it up a notch too, providing you with even more interesting Astoria and LIC foodie intelligence.  Onward and upward...as the saying goes.  Where the change is happening is in my name, as I decided to use a name that's more closely tied to my roots.  I have a feeling you'll like it.

What does this mean for you?
You'll still get to enjoy my latest and greatest Astoria/LIC food news and be amongst the well informed intelligentsia as far as culinary matters are concerned.  And you'll have a new domain name to visit, which I'll make super easy to access.

Now for the really fun part...

I'm throwing a party to celebrate this progressive change, and I'd love to give you the opportunity to attend.  Taking place in a week at 5 Napkin Burger's new private space, you'll have the opportunity to mix and mingle with Queens' finest, indulge in 5 Napkin Burger's signature grub and imbibe to your heart's content.

How do you enter the Foodista re-launch party giveaway?
All you have to do is comment on this blog post and tell me either about your favorite food or drink at 5 Napkin or about your favorite aspect of this blog.

You have until this Friday, June 24th to enter and 3 winners will be announced by this coming Sunday, June 26th.  Please make sure to leave your email in the comments section, so I can contact you directly.

The winners will receive a free entry to the party along with a guest of their choice.  Enjoy, and I hope to see you next week at the big shin-dig.

  1. What I love about this site is that it allows me to find some hidden gems or special party that I would never know about if I did not come to this site. Thanks for all your work! Oh and the Salted Caramel Milkshake is pretty amazing at Five Napkin:)

    I love that your reviews are always kind-hearted because you obviously care about businesses in Astoria and LIC. Even if you don't LOVE a place, you are still positive. :) I read your blog for the new places to try in the hood since I trust your opinion as a fellow foodie.

    My fave menu item at 5 Napkin is definitely the Original 5 Napkin Burger and a vanilla milkshake. YUMMY!

  10. I keep coming back to your blog because it makes the Astoria/LIC food scene so much more manageable. I'm not the most adventurous eater, but a number of your posts have prompted me to try things I never would have before!

    So thanks for everything so far, and I'm very excited to hear about what's to come.

    I am fairly new to Astoria and have heard that there are many great eating spots. But who has the time nor the money to try them all? I came across your blog and decided to try a few spots you suggested and you were right on the money! I like to think of your blog as a food guide.Thank you for that! My favorite item at Five Napkin Burger is the fish tacos!!!! Delish!
