The fix is in at Repair Cafe
ASTORIA — Repair Cafe
will once again convene in
the Lovell Showroom to
fix items — anything one
person can carry in — 6 to
8 p.m. Wednesday, March
28.
These free monthly
repair events bring people
with broken stuff together
with people who know how
to fix it. Our “fixers” can
make repairs and give ex-
pert advice on most items:
clothing, computers, furni-
ture, power tools, household
appliances and bicycles.
Plus, we offer knife and
scissor sharpening.
Observe our fixers,
browse some repair books
