In addition to its reputation as a popular event space, Astoria World Manor offers comprehensive in-house catering services and the flexibility to bring in outside caterers with a kitchen rental option. The venue also provides facilities for film and television productions, including a chapel.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, owner YJ Ahn recalls facing significant challenges as the future of the business became uncertain. To adapt, Astoria World Manor opened a fresh pasta restaurant named Cornicello, which has since closed, and transformed its parking lot into a backyard smokehouse venue, now known as Clubhouse. The space has since become a hub for various community events.
