Astoria shops offer the full array of stores -- from modern and hip boutiques and organic markets to shops that literally take you back in time as they probably haven't changed in at least 40 years. Rudy's Hobby & Art Store (35-16 30th Ave) is one of these time capsule shops and is definitely worth a visit! From hundreds of model train sets and parts to kits for building wooden planes, ships, and cars, this store has all the old school hobbies you would want and more (including the standard art supplies and puzzle sets)! Streaming along the ceiling you'll also find completed model airplanes, which really adds to the atmosphere of the shop. I can only hope that shops like this one will stick around even as Astoria continues to transform as a neighborhood.
