History of the site:

After 40 years in business the Neptune Diner located in Astoria, Queens, NYC served its last meal on Sunday, July 29. 2024. The owners claimed they were not given a chance to renew their lease, because the property will soon be turned into a residential building.

Since 1983, The Katsihtis brothers have owned the building on Astoria Boulevard but not the land, which was sold in 2018 for over $10 million.

The brothers also had a 35-year lease which expired in 2019. But since then, they were not able to come to a long-term agreement with the landlord.

But that's what Long Island City/Astoria needs is another apartment building. It's already so overbuilt, it's ridiculous. Yet they keep tearing them down and building new ones, many of which are luxury rentals. The neighborhood is losing its character to steel and glass.

Founded in 1972 by Paisios of Tyana. The monastery is located in the heart of Astoria in New York and named in honor of Saint Irene.

In its original form, the monastery consisted of roughly forty square feet of space in a basement of a house located where the holy shrine of St. Irene sits today. Today, the monastery itself is located in a 3-floor complex on Ditmars Blvd, the shrine of St. Irene on 23rd avenue is over forty feet high and the monastery’s main offices are located across the street from the shrine.

Architecture:

St. Irene of Chrysovalantou is a large modern church which has been transformed into an Orthodox sanctuary. The exterior has had some Byzantine style motifs added, and the interior is a beautiful mixture of classical architecture and intricate icons.

In December 1883, developer William Henderson hired architect John C. Burne to design two identical flat buildings at 107 and 109 East 89th Street just east of Fourth Avenue (renamed Park Avenue in 1888). Completed in August 1884, each had cost Henderson $21,000 to construct (about $659,000 in 2024 terms).

There's NO Parking on Sidewalks

_____

Notice the reflective vest on the dash. That's a telltale sign how they "may" work for New York City Transit. But so what? The car is parked on a sidewalk and next to a subway entrance at that. These vehicles are never ticketed, nor towed. And that building beyond the fence is the 39th Avenue Subway Ventilation Complex. I feel that it's all a ruse and the largest running joke in the entire city. That's lost revenue & it's running rampant

One of the greatest perks about my job is my ability to walk there in 24-min. And regardless of rain, sleet or snow. I walk. Once the light returns, I'll be able to once again walk home too

The Greenstreets program converts paved, vacant traffic islands, and medians into green spaces filled with trees, shrubs, and groundcover in an effort to capture stormwater.

The program is a part of the NYC Green Infrastructure Plan. All funding for Greenstreet construction under this plan is administered by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
