We Heart Astoria Food Talk *Summer Is Here Edition*

With the official start of summer this past weekend, we’re loving all the summery eats that are now in full swing.  Have your pick from our favorite food highlights this week:

What a lovely review of LIC Market that amNewYork has brought us.  Have you tried their seasonal veg?

Speaking of local press, The Thirsty Koala has also enjoyed some well-deserved kudos from myfoxny.com.  Check out this video of Chef Kathy, as she prepares her signature lamb lollies.

Who’s ready for the big USA/Germany soccer match tomorrow? It’s going to be a big one for the U.S. so make it count by watching it at one of our suggested World Cup spots and enjoy delicious eats and drinks while you’re there.

Ready for another awesome installment of the Queens County Market?  Head over to the Sunnyside Greenmarket this Saturday from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. and enjoy some of the best of artisanal food products made in Astoria, LIC, Sunnyside, and other nearby locations in Queens, BK and Manhattan.

Did you hear that a new bakery called Pink Canary is coming to LIC? Today marked its soft opening while tomorrow the bakery officially opens its doors at 2 p.m.  Meg has written up more details in this helpful post.

In honor of summer, we’re glad to stumble upon Snowdonia’s new watermelon salad with goat cheese, arugula, bacon and homemade lemon dressing – now available to hungry Astorians!
