So that Chipotle rumor seems to finally be true. The Queens Gazette announced via Instagram today that Chipotle is taking over the old Payless Shoe space at 31-73 Steinway Street. While it’s just the latest in mega national chains coming to Queens (Marshall’s, Target,) it does seem somewhat at home on Steinway which has long been home to food chains like Taco Bell and McDonalds. (Though to be totally honest, Rizzo’s Pizza is my #1 Steinway go-to.)

What do you make of this latest Astoria change? Are you excited to get that burrito bowl with guac, which of course you know is extra.. or do you prefer the more mom-and-pop vibe?
