ASTORIA LIVE | March 4th, 2026

Hello Astoria,

March is moving fast — it's already the 4th and the week got away from me (hence this landing in your inbox a little late). Lots going on in the neighborhood, scroll on for the latest!

Ramadan Mubarak and happy belated Purim! Sherlyn's on Broadway has giant hamantaschen if you're still in the mood to celebrate, and Malikah is having an Eid festival on Steinway on the 21st!

Neighborhood fave Sweet Scene is closing in a couple weeks - swing by for your last chance to enjoy a drink or sandwich at this little old-school gem.

Also, something new: Since mentioning the idea of a job board, I've been hearing from a lot of you that you're job hunting right now. Starting this week, I'm adding a Jobs section at the end of the newsletter. If you're hiring or know of something, send it my way!

Cheers,
Stacey
