Out: There isn’t quite as much commercial activity by this stop as at the previous three in Astoria. The surroundings may also be a little bit dirtier, but the area still seems quite safe and residential. There is an upscale-looking Brazilian restaurant, “Sanford’s” restaurant, and a good sports bar I’ve been to before, “Broadway Station”. There are Greek and Cypriot places around as well. Everything is still low-scale and ethnically mixed. There are lots of white people (i.e. non-European or gentrifier) around, maybe more than before. There are also still a good number of Hispanic, European, and Asian as well. The organic food market is a sign of gentrification, even though it isn’t too obvious by the people on the street.
In: Similar to 30 Ave., but in slightly worse condition.
