Downtown Astoria Visitor's Guide
Disclaimer! This is not an exhaustive list of all the businesses I love and think you should support. There are many more!
This is a short list of places I frequent that I think visitors would also enjoy. Your tastes may differ, and that’s great!
Lots of people ask me where to go when they visit town, so I thought I would share the places I recommend to visitors most often.
Enjoy Astoria!
