#CurrentObsession:  Wafels + Dinges

12/29/2015

The Obsession:
Authentic Belgium Waffles throughout the city.

The Basics:
Find their yellow + black food carts/trucks, storefronts or kiosks for authentic waffles fresh made and topped with all the dinges ("stuff") your heart desires.

What's the Deal?
Choose between the traditional Brussels Wafel (light + crispy) or the Liége Wafel (soft + chewy).  With your toppings you can go sweet (fruit, fudge, maple syrup...) or savory (pulled pork, bacon...).  We're a fan of the traditional spekuloos spread (tastes like gingerbread + has the consistency of peanut butter).  They serve other treats too like shakes, ice cream and hot chocolate (an amazing, rich hot chocolate that we're particularly obsessed with).

You can catch Wafel + Dinges throughout the city.  Check out their website or their twitter feed to see their daily locations.

#CurrentObsessions:  Astoria Bier + Cheese

The Obsession:
Craft beer + artisanal  cheese in one of Queens coolest 'hood.

The Basics:
A local shop with two locations that offers beer, cheese + meats to go or to eat in the shop.
​
What's the Deal?
The popular Astoria Wine + Spirits shop was always being asked by costumers where they could get great cheese + beer nearby.  The very first shop opened up right next door choosing their producers carefully.  With now two locations, they're great for grabbing some bottles to take to a party, filling your growler, or for hanging out over cheese + Beer.

Both locations are in Astoria, off the N/Q line; the 1st off the Broadway Station, the 2nd, off the Ditmars Station.

Astoria Bier + Cheese/Broadway
34-14 Broadway
718.545.5588

Astoria Bier + Cheese/Ditmars
