We Heart Astoria Food Talk, Cocktails & Bites

There’s lots of fun cocktail and drinks action in this edition of Food Talk, as well as plenty of other ways to warm up with delicious food.  The chill is still on, so let’s indulge in something warm and yummy!

After the recent success of Snowdonia’s recent Flights & Bites event with Flying Dog brewery, they’ve decided to make it permanent, with the last Tuesday of each month dedicated to a different brewery and tasting menu.  34-55 35th Avenue, Astoria.  718.730.5783

Speaking of drinks, let’s get on to cocktails, as we noticed that the New York Dog House has a new guava based “Pretty in Pink” bourbon cocktail.  Why not pair your hot dog with some sophistication? 37-06 30th Avenue, Astoria.  718.274.3647

How about a nice fluffy bagel to tide you over during these cold weather days?  We spotted that NYC Bagel & Coffee House is featuring a new earthy pesto, sun dried tomato cream cheese flavor of the month.  Smear it on a garlic or whole wheat bagel, and you’ll be set to take on the day.  29-08 23rd Avenue, Astoria.  718.728.9500

Don’t forget about the Chinese New Year this Friday.  The Queens Kickshaw will be hosting a special Asian/Jewish brunch in its honor this Friday from 10:00 a.m. – 4:45 p.m.  40-17 Broadway, Astoria. 718.777.0913

Food caption contest, anyone? Have a go at this fun picture from The Brooklyn Grange.

Did you know that Zenon Taverna, the homey Cypriot tavern offers an extensive catering menu? It all sure looks delicious, including trays of homemade baklava, feta and olive platters, mini spanakopita, various souvlaki and more.  What a great thing to consider for future parties (i.e. Superbowl this weekend!) 34-10 31st Avenue, Astoria.  718.956.0133
