50 I BOROMAG.COM I JUNE 2016 EXPLORE YOUR BORO Queens Comfort 40-09 30th Ave. queenscomfort.com Kitschy comfort food joints with country tchotchkes, mason jar tea mugs, over-greased chicken thighs and lackluster mac ‘n’ cheese are a dime a dozen. But at Queens Comfort, settled on 30th Avenue between Astoria’s retail thoroughfare and “hookah alley” on Steinway, comfort isn’t merely a theme. It’s a way of life, executed to perfection. Just ask any guests crowded on the sidewalk waiting for brunch on the weekends. Queens County Farm Museum 73-50 Little Neck Pkwy. www.queensfarm.org At the Queens County Farm Museum, guests can indulge in everything from hayrides to a petting zoo, an enormous maze carved out of a field of maize, or even a farmer’s market located on an actual farm. But it’s a great place to visit year-round, open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Queens Kickshaw 40-17 Broadway www.thequeenskickshaw.com According to Merriam-Webster, a kickshaw is “a fancy dish; delicacy; trinket; gewgaw.” While the name The Queens Kickshaw undeniably denotes its location, it also implies a collection of exquisite and rare morsels fit for royalty, which this café-restaurant certainly is. With one of the most carefully edited food and beverage menus in Astoria, a visit to The Queens Kickshaw is an expedition into unique, fantastic tastes in both food and drink, all in a rustic and warm epicurean gallery.
