EXPLORE YOUR BORO Astor Room 34-12 36th St. www.astorroom.com Originally built as the commissary to the studio opened by the legendary Adolph Zukor in 1920, the space is affectionately known as the Astor Room. The studio eventually became the home of Paramount Pictures, and over the next two decades, over 120 silent and sound films were produced here. From the Marx Brothers to Rudolph Valentino, Gloria Swanson, and W.C. Fields, Astoria was home to the great talents of an exciting new industry who all dined in the Astor Room. The cocktails are the marquis names at this historic cinema spot, so grab one and then find a seat outside with some live music. Bareburger 33-21 31st Av e. www.bareburger.com Sure, they may have locations spanning from South Beach to Japan, but it seems like only yesterday when Bareburger started serving up its delicious, eco friendly customizable burgers, shakes, and fries right here in Astoria at 33-21 31st Avenue. The outdoor patio is like a sweet little hidden oasis, and the perfect place to enjoy one of the city’s most heralded burgers right at the heart of where it all began. Be sure to order some extra dipping sauces for the fries and wings, and check out some of the new sliders. Bierocracy 12–23 Jackson Av e. www.bierocracy.com Bierocracy opened as LIC’s fresh take on a Central European style beer hall, featuring two hundred seats, as well as a 48 seat bar. The 4,000 square foot venue features a lovingly edited list of draft and bottled beers. One of the main draws, however, is the selection of beer-friendly foods and a bangin’ beer-centric brunch. With a selection nearly as expansive as the space, this is one spot you won’t want to miss. JUNE 2016 | BOROMAG.COM | 21
