Home to the largest Greek community outside Greece, this is obviously the place to find amazing Greek bakeries, restaurants and gourmet shops, mainly along Broadway. An influx of Eastern European, Middle Eastern (Steinway Ave, known as 'Little Egypt,' is the place for falafel, kebabs and hookah pipes) and Latino immigrants have created a rich and diverse mix. A reminder that moviemaking started in Astoria in the 1920s, the American Museum of the Moving Image exposes some of the mysteries of the craft with amazing exhibits and screenings in its ornate and recently renovated theater. In summer, cool off at the Astoria Pool , the city's largest and oldest. Much of the neighborhood, as well as curious Manhattanites, can be found at the Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden during warm afternoons and evenings.
