About We Heart Astoria

About We Heart Astoria

We Heart Astoria is a blog focused on the wonderful community of Astoria, Queens.

Through our posts, pictures, events and commentary, we aim to spread our love of Astoria to you.  Whether you’ve just moved to Astoria or have lived here all your life, we hope you’ll find this blog useful and informative—and that you’ll tell others about it.

We dedicate this blog to you.  Always be open with us, let us know what you’re thinking (both good and bad), and we’ll do the same.  The conversation won’t be dull, and it might get contrarian at times, but we can’t wait to start it.

About the contributors

Meg – Active throughout the community, Meg is dedicated to improving the lives of regular Astorians. She helps to bring local, organic food to Astoria via the Hellgate CSA; founded the Queens Swap, a food swap based in Queens; and is active on the steering committee with the developing Queens Harvest Food Co-op. As a classical musician, she is also in-tune with various arts and music organizations in town. Meg will bring you news and views on her interests, which lie in sustainability, environmental issues, culture, recreation, and food. She writes about traditional, natural foods and sustainable, healthful living at Harmonious Belly.

Mackenzi – Making her home, life and work in Astoria where she’s lived since 2003, Mackenzi’s passions lie in interior design.  She is the owner of SITE, an eclectic interior design store and studio that brings inspired home furnishings to the neighborhood and supports local artists in Queens.  Mackenzi will shine a light on Astoria’s local business community, from design boutiques like her own to vintage shops, wine shops, and much more.

Judith – You might already know her as the Fooditka, Judith’s passion lies in food and everything about it.  Originally from the Eastern European country of Slovakia, Judith embraces the many delicious (and often ethnic) eats Astoria has to offer.  She’ll bring you her take on new restaurants, interesting food that you’ve never tasted, chef interviews and always her honest opinion.

It’s our absolute pleasure to begin this fun adventure with you.  We can’t wait to spread our love of Astoria — and we hope you join us for the ride.  Come on…say it with us (you know you want to)…WE HEART ASTORIA.
