Strand Book Store

"The Strand Smokehouse is enormous. It’s kind of like a big garage with a bar, a bunch of picnic tables, and a barbecue station in the back corner. So if you need a place to hang with a group in Astoria, this is a great option. The barbecue here is very good, and you should probably devote most your attention to the several kinds of ribs. A whole rack will run you around $20, and it will last you several days if you get lost in a snowstorm." - Bryan Kim
