The night here
Astoria’s night spreads along a few long commercial avenues: Broadway, Ditmars Boulevard, 30th Avenue and 31st Street under the elevated N and W tracks. The neighborhood’s Greek heritage shows in its tavernas and cafés, and it has a mix of beer halls, cocktail bars and restaurants from across the world.
Astoria Park on the East River, under the Hell Gate and Robert F. Kennedy bridges, has views of the Manhattan skyline at dusk. Only the N runs all night here; the W stops in the evening.
When it gets loud
1,160 complaints about loud music or parties at bars, clubs and other businesses were made to 311 from here in the last 12 months (139 per km², #18 of 24). 67% came in between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m., and 46% on Friday and Saturday nights.
Each row is an evening running into the next morning (the Saturday row ends Sunday at noon). Darker = more complaints. Source: NYC 311 service requests, “Noise – Commercial: Loud Music/Party”.
