New 'StreetWise' blog: Dining, recreation and nightlife in Astoria

The StreetWise blog today explores recreation in Astoria. People throughout the area say Astoria is home to many fantastic eateries, including the well-known La Guli on Ditmars Boulevard. Within the last five years hookah lounges on Steinway Street have also spread like wildfire, adding more depth to the nightlife in Astoria. However, what is the neighborhood without Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden? The last remaining authentic beer garden in New York City, having survived an era when the city was home to around 800, Bohemian Hall is a pinnacle to summertime recreation for not only Astoria but the five boroughs as well.
