There seems to be a glut of upscale, boring hang outs all of this great city.
Used to be you could walk into a obscure little place in the east village, or Williamsburg , or Nolita ..
But Queens ???

Now, at the corner of 24th St. & Ditmars is this little
( tiny ) wine /coffee joint.
There seems to be a variety of stuff happening there, but what really nice, is you can hang.
The music is a sick mixture of classical, jazz, pop, rock,
all kinds of stuff.

The little open mic night is really warm , freindly and hip

they have a Steinway Baby Grand,
This is what should be happening.
This city needs more of this

The name they gave it is Waltz or Waltz-Astoria
look in up , google it,
it don't matter...grab a freind or two.
drive or subway over there and hang out .
Drop all the super cool garbage at the door.
This place is just warm
pure Butter...
