Submarina California in New York City? Keep Waiting!

3143 Steinway St, Astoria, Queens (Steinway Section) - G,R,V to Steinway St.

Submarina California Coming SoonWhen I published my "Summer's Over Let's Eat" article at the beginning at the month I made an assumption:

Grub Street "Coming Soon" article + 1.5 months = Submarina California Astoria complete.

However, upon a visit to Astoria (Steinway Village) this past weekend I found the Submarina California no further in progress than mentioned in the July 20 article. The awning logo still has a "coming soon" banner hanging below it, and inside the Häagen-Dazs it will co-brand with there is no evidence of any construction activities.

So no exotic Californian sub chain anytime too soon. However, the Häagen-Dazs itself is worth a visit - Excellent shakes, friendly staff, and, during my visit, free coffee!
