While poking around the internet, we discovered that Crescent Lounge is for sale for $120,000. Many Astorians we know and love this place, located on Crescent Street just south of Broadway; I once had the largest and strongest gin & tonic ever there (it was made in a tall drinking glass, mostly gin, and served with a lemon). Crescent Lounge is a Third Space for many in Astoria.

From what we can tell, it’s the business for sale, not the building, since what’s being talked about is lease and rent; not to mention $120,000 is an unheard of price for a building in the heart of Astoria. Here are the sale details from the broker:
