Good place to take in the view and coffee. Baked goods are great. Walkable from the house. Near the bumble bee museum and rogue brewery. The 39th pier is the best kept secret.

Great during the summer. Eat ice cream while waving at people passing on the trolley. Not so great in the winter.

An amazing find in Astoria. Rotating menu. Always good. More like a upscale food cart with no seating. Take out or eat in a park or on a bench at the waterfront.

There’s a small fee to get up there. The view is great from the parking lot. You can climb to the top for better views. You can also start the hike just down the street on the trail head on Irving street.

Dive bar

Hipster bar. Younger crowd Friday and Saturday nights with eclectic decor and local music. There’s a Mrs Pac Man video game and pizza. Not sure what you’ll get in the afternoons or weekdays.

Sports bar and decent bar food. Locals go there and the bar staff seem nice when I’ve been there.

Breakfast

Hmm. Not sure others will appreciate this place. But it’s my favorite. True diner food with large portions. A bit of nostalgia and lots of locals. Friday and Saturday night music as well.
