After a tip from an awesome reader (we love when you guys keep us in the loop!) we’ve learned that Marketa, which was previously located at 37-17 30th Avenue, will be replaced by Blend Astoria.
Blend currently has a flagship location on Vernon Boulevard in LIC where they serve up Latin American fusion food. They’re a casual cafe & lounge serving dishes from various Latin cuisines along with cocktails.
