Steinway

Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

Steinway Street runs through the heart of Astoria's working commercial core — a stretch that has always been ethnically plural and economically functional without aspiring to anything the real estate press would call 'emerging.' Sixty-four restaurants score 1.79 standard deviations above cohort average in density; the top places include Hamido Seafood (the Astoria institution), Tap NYC, and Krispy Kreme, which tells you the full range of this neighborhood's food register. Coffee is the gap — just 10 outlets at -0.77 standard deviations below average; the café economy here runs on diner coffee and Brooklyn Bagel & Coffee Co. Grocery is solid: 18 stores including Trade Fair and Kapil Grocery, a sign of the neighborhood's South Asian and Middle Eastern vendor mix. Five parks is thin for the resident density. Fitness includes Sacred Space Astoria (yoga, community-oriented) and two chain gyms. This is a neighborhood that feeds people, serves them, and doesn't need to tell you about it.
