LINEUP FOR SEPTEMBER 12TH*

Anoush Froundjian: Is a storyteller and cartoonist who has finally gotten comfortable with her first name. When she isn’t telling stories, she draws a line of greeting cards and cartoons for Anoush Talks to Stuff, a web comic about a girl who talks to inanimate objects. Find her on Instagram at @AnoushTalksToStuff!
Hear fascinating stories from the people who keep NYC running, from construction workers, cabbies, cops and fireman to community activists, and anyone with an interesting story to tell. Every month will also feature a storyteller from the Fortune Society, giving a unique perspective of the ups and downs of life in NYC. If you want to laugh, cry and everything in between, come to Astoria for tales from NYC and enjoy a drink or two while you're there.
