We Heart Astoria Food Talk, *Queens Beer Week Edition*

With the launch of Queens Beer Week this week, there are so many fun food and drinks related events happening around town. What events are you planning to attend?

The Astoria Beer & Brew event tickets are officially on sale, featuring Bridge & Tunnel Brewery for an afternoon of home brewing and beer tasting “education.” Proost! 21-76 21st Street, Astoria. 718.606.0779

Also premiering during Queens Beer Week, this picture made us stop dead in our tracks.  A fun riff on the ramen burger, behold Snowdonia’s very own mac ‘n cheese burger, which you can first try this coming Sunday at their dedicated, Munchathon event.  34-55 32nd Street, Astoria. 347.730.5783

We hear that the Bao Shoppe is experimenting with new vegan recipes this week, which is exciting! How about this scallion pancake with portobello mushroom and kimchi? 30-66 Steinway St, Astoria. 718.777.1883

In major LIC food news, we recently learned that the food masterminds behind NYC’s popular Il Mulino are opening up shop in LIC this July.  Get excited!

Looking towards the weekend, Front Toward Enemy has shared their Happy Hour menu, which starts promptly at 5 p.m. on Friday and features discounted cocktails, shots, beer and $1 oysters. Yum! 40-11 30th Avenue, Astoria. 718.545.2269
