What is the fastest way off exit of the GCP W to get to Steinway St?

Every time I take exit 5 off the GCP to Astoria to get to steinway st, I am always stuck in local service road traffic (on astoria blvd) can someone please tell me if there is a quicker route or a shortcut to get me to steinway st/hookahbar area?

When you get off the first exit off the GCP it dumps you onto Astoria Blvd. It's 8 blocks to Steinway from there. If you really can't stand the eight blocks of traffic then take your first available right after the light at 34st street and take that down to 28th Avenue and take a left. That will dump you into Steinway. Honestly though, I can't imagine that will save you THAT much time. If it's just the other cars you despise then use this route. If it's the time, well, it's NYC and the lights take care of eating up your time.
