LADY GAGA AT ASTORIA EATERY BY ANGELA MATUA [email protected]/@AngelaMatua Astoria’s newest restaurant was on the edge of glory this week with a visit from a pop superstar. The Pomeroy, a new eatery that opened in Astoria on Oct. 6, got a stamp of approval from none other than Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga attended the opening of the restaurant, which is owned by her childhood best friend Bo O’Conner, and serves a mix of comfort food, a whole fried chicken and mac and cheese, and snacks like rice balls filled with porcini mushrooms and fontina. The Pomery also offers a whole slew of seasoned vegetables and potatoes. We Heart Astoria first reported the singer’s attendance. The restaurant, located at 36-12 Ditmars Blvd., is open Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. and Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 5 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. Photos by Thanassi Karageorgiou/Museum of the Moving Image Steve Buscemi, Jerry Lewis and Martin Scorsese Scorsese, Lewis and Buscemi atMuseum of the Moving Image BY ANGY ALTAMIRANO [email protected] @aaltamirano28 Astoria was swimming in stars this week. On Oct. 6, movie legends Jerry Lewis and Martin Scorsese came together for a wideranging and intimate discussion about Lewis’ innovations as a comedian filmmaker in front of a full house at the Museum of the Moving Image. Lewis has directed 12 movies, appeared in 48 movies, and hosted his own variety TV show with Dean Martin and a long-running telethon for charity. He also once substituted for Johnny Carson on “The Tonight Show.” The event, co-presented with the Comedy Hall of Fame, was the first in a new series looking at comedians who make movies. Just before the program started, Neil Patrick Harris — who is shooting his own variety show “Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris” next door at Kaufman Astoria Studios — dropped by to meet the 89-year-old comedian. The two only had time to say hello before Harris had to head back to film his show. On the same day, pop star Lady Gaga also took a trip to western Queens neighborhood to attend the grand opening of The Pomery, a restaurant owned by her childhood best friend Bo O’Conner. Astoria is ending the week with more movie stars as actors John Turturro and Kevin Corrigan are joined Friday by playwright John Patrick Shanley for a live event and screening of the independent film “Five Corners.” Neil Patrick Harris and Jerry Lewis
