Chicken Shack to open second Astoria restaurant, this one on Broadway

May 20, 2014 By Michael Florio

A popular Astoria eatery, Chicken Shack, is opening a second location– this one at 36-19 Broadway.

The new restaurant, which is expected to open in about a month, will be just blocks away from its current eatery, which is located at 35-02 30th Ave.

The two stores will offer the same menu, with an employee expressly saying: “everything will be the same.”

The menu will consist of charcoal broiled chicken, char-grilled burgers and sandwiches and baby back ribs. It will also offer seafood and Greek specialties, such as spinach pie, chicken souvlaki and lamb gyro.

The eatery is very popular with Astoria residents, based on Yelp reviews. The restaurant is known for providing large portions of food at a reasonable price.

I didn’t see any other posts about this, so I thought I would leave a comment. According to the signs in their 30th avenue location’s window they aren’t expanding, they’re just moving.

Silvercup Studios partners with local schools to foster next-generation filmmakers in Queens

Long before it was one of the fastest growing neighborhoods in the nation, Long Island City was an industrial town along the polluted East River, where generations recall the only good smell emanated from the Gordon Baking Company producing the Silvercup brand of bread.

After it was shuttered in a bitter labor dispute in the mid-70s, nearby factory owner Harry Suna of Kew Gardens purchased the property at 42-25 21 St. in 1980, and his architect sons Stuart and Alan began drawing up the plans to repurpose the property into Silvercup Studios, which launched in 1983 and rapidly became one of New York City’s largest film and production facilities, with nearly a half million square feet of studio space and 19 sound stages.
