The <span style="font-weight: bold;">2008 Waterfront Concert Series</span> starts up tonight with 1910 Fruitgum Company at 7:30 p.m. Bring a blanket to the Astoria Park lawn <span style="font-style: italic;">(Shore Blvd. between Hell Gate Bridge and the Pool)</span> and enjoy the chill atmosphere.<br /><br />If you needed reminding, <a href="http://astorianyc.blogspot.com/2008/07/winegasm-group-tasting-worth-repeating.html#links">Winegasm</a> <span style="font-style: italic;">(21-86 37th St)</span> is a great place to check out Friday night for themed music nights. Take our word for it: the bacon-wrapped prunes are the bomb!<br /><br />I was already a fan of <a href="http://www.saiorganics.com/retailer/store_templates/shell_id_1.asp?storeID=6B30A4C706774E65AF516A034403B081">Sai Organics</a> <span style="font-style: italic;">(30-21 30th Ave)</span>, but now that I found out you can get some classes there, I think I love them even more! Saturday 2 to 5 p.m., catch the <span style="font-weight: bold;">CSA/Greenmarket Class</span> (Tickets are $85 each or $150 for two. $10 of every ticket to benefit The Hunger Action Network of New York State and The New York City Coalition Against Hunger). For more info and to rsvp, write to skoullias@gmail.com.<br /><br />Random but I think a good bit to know -- we still have a tattoo parlor here! I thought they were all closed by now. <a href="http://www.fatcattattoos.com/">Fat Cat Tattoos</a> has a semi-new location under the subway line at 31-32 31St St. Stop in and get to know your local artist. Who knows what you could end up with, no need to head into the city!<br />And just because I love where I live, thought you would also enjoy <a href="http://www.brigade.tv/featuredwork/experience-design/nyc-parks/">this cute view</a> of Astoria Park.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Astoria, "Long Island City"</div>floozigrlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06531021636883310914noreply@blogger.com
