The Strand is a new Biergarten in Astoria that just opened today. In addition to beer, they have Brooklyn Soda Works on tap and kombucha ale. I had the spiced plum soda ($4.00) and the Mava Roka kombucha ale (7% ABV and $6.00)

The Associated in Sunnyside now sells cilantro macho. I’m having trouble finding information about what it’s used for. The flavor kind of reminds me of pápalo. Maybe it goes on cemitas?

The macarons at Panya can be a little dry and are often gummy, but the wasabi macaron I had today was surprisingly palatable. They are $1.50 per piece and should be brought to room temperature before consumption.

Beard Papa’s is selling mouthwatering autumnal pumpkin cream puffs. They are filled with their signature cream custard but are topped with a fragrant pumpkin purée/Belgian white chocolate paste and a few pumpkin seeds. This special treat reminds me of a mont-blanc aux marrons.
