damnlines for iPhoneLive lines & push alerts — freeGetdamnlines.comA sprawling 30th Avenue Euro-café that functions as daytime coffee shop, lunch/brunch/dinner spot, and after-hours DJ club under one roof.
damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at The Grand yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
Resy's Astoria dining guide describes The Grand less as a restaurant and more as an all-day social hub — a coffee shop for retirees in the morning, a lunch and brunch destination, and "an after-hours club complete with DJ" by night, per Resy. That multipurpose format is built to keep tables turning and the room full across very different crowds on the same day, according to the guide.
Resy lists The Grand as bookable through its own reservation platform, and the write-up frames the appeal as "the scene" itself rather than food or service alone, per Resy's Astoria guide. For a room that doubles as a nightlife spot after dark, that combination points to real weekend demand for tables, though the source does not report specific wait times.

Reservations: Reservable via Resy
Resy's Astoria guide doesn't cite a specific wait time, but describes The Grand as a venue that stays busy from daytime coffee crowds through brunch, dinner, and an after-hours DJ scene, suggesting sustained demand across the day, per Resy.
Yes — Resy's Astoria guide lists The Grand as reservable directly through Resy.
The source doesn't confirm walk-in policy directly, but given its size and multi-role format (café, brunch, dinner, nightlife), walk-ins alongside reservations are plausible; call ahead to confirm, per Resy's guide.
