Cultural Heritage: Bohemian Beer Garden, Queens

All good New York journeys begin on the subway...

where I spy a Bohunk heading to Queens in search of beer. 

(You can recognize them by their large hands.)

Astoria Boulevard has shadows for Shadow Shot Sunday.

You can tell we are entering central Europe by the bar signs...

and the oompah band

and little girls in lovely costumes

and lots of people eating pork and sauerkraut and dumplings

and poppy seed cake

and dancing....

and drinking Pilsner Urquell or even water.
