Astoria Market


Astoria Market opened with a bang. I had a smooth, yet odd ride to Astoria on a Sunday morning. It was almost like I was going to work, but there was a homeless man in my car that sort of freaked me out the whole time.

Every year in New York when the weather gets a bit chilly, you see an increasing amount of homeless on the train. I always feel a little more charitable and sad for these folks around the holidays, but yesterday I was just kinda freaked out. I was hoping it wasn't going to set the mood for the day... and it didn't.

I was greeted with an energetic crowd at the Bohemian Hall... which is an amazing name for a Craft Fair location, by the way. I was even more thrilled when I realized there was no line for food or beer outside. Several friends stopped by and I had lovely chats with strangers and my new vending buddy, Erica. The Time Out photographer stopped by as well and I'm anxiously waiting for the Time Out to arrive in my mail slot. Hopefully, hyc Creative made it in!

It was a slower vending day, but I see great potential in this location and hope to do it again soon.
