Astoria Bier & Cheese [Official]
Astoria Eats, a new Queens-based food delivery platform that launched earlier this week, is looking to provide a local, more cost-effective alternative so restaurants don’t have to rely on larger third-party delivery companies like Grubhub and UberEats.
Already, the platform has signed on seven Astoria restaurants including popular Bangladeshi establishment Boishakhi and Greek spot Zenon Taverna. For now, the focus is local, and the delivery platform is meant to be a precursor to a planned new food hall in the neighborhood. Queens blogger Joe DiStefano is spearheading the delivery platform and has partnered with a development group which hopes to bring the food hall to the neighborhood as part of its massive, proposed mixed-use development in the area.
