i went to a movie night in astoria. i FINALLY saw the room. this movie was perhaps the best/worst thing i have ever watched, all at the same time. i can’t wait to watch it again.

They’re showing The Room at Hellgate Social this Sunday. It is a truly awful movie.

Random fact about Omonia: They made the cake in the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Two things:
- Notice the absolute lack of any bad landlords in Astoria.
- Ctrl-F “Shawn Curry”. I’m spelled “Sean”, but still.
I have some (1) Astoria suggestions…. how about you guys?

To my fellow Astoria, Queens residents. You know it’s true.
Founders Nemesis Release: it’s like Christmas Day for beer geeks
brewyork:

Take a deep breath. Today is the official release of Michigan’s Founders Brewing Company’s 2010 edition of their Nemesis barleywine. The 2010 version is a true American barleywine, different from last year’s Nemesis, which was a maple bourbon-aged wheatwine. Either way, it’s a big beer (in the alcohol department) that’s well-crafted with lots of flavor. The brewery accidentally leaked some of the beer earlier this summer, much to the chagrin of beer geeks in the Midwest. Is it worth the hype? That’s up to you, but so far, the leaked bottles of Nemesis 2010 have netted a respectable A- on Beer Advocate.
The tasting notes on the Nemesis 2010 from the brewery:
A dark barley wine that pours black with a subtle mahogany hue. Brewed with 5 malts and no shortage of hops for a pleasantly bitter booming flavor. Roasty and toasty with a multitude of tastes that melts on your tongue.
Sounds enjoyable. And at 12.0% ABV, it’s best enjoyed in small quantities.
Quite a few beer bars in New York will be celebrating the Nemesis release today. Here’s a roundup of those releases:
[edited out the other boroughs, click through for those….]
Don’t forget Queens! Sunswick 35/35 (35-02 35th St., at 35th Ave., Astoria) will pour Nemesis 2010 beginning at 7pm.
If you are into beer like some people are into wine (or ya know, just like it) I recommend reading The Beer Wench on WLA!? or her stand-alone blog. It is totally local!

In Queens, to find locations best
Avenues, roads and drives run west;
But ways to north or south ’tis plain
Are street or place or even lane.
While even numbers you meet
Upon the west and south of street.
