Dear Western Queens, One of the things that makes Astoria fantastic is all the investment made by entrepreneurs in opening up new restaurants, stores, cultural institutions and even movie studios! Over the past year so many fantastic businesses have flourished in and around Astoria. These business owners are a large part of what makes it such a great place to work and live. It’s our goal to inform our readers about these businesses so that you can take advantage of them, support the local community and most importantly...enjoy! In this month’s issue we have highlighted both the new, Marketa, and some of the best in businesses that have been serving the neighborhood for years in our annual Best Bites issue. Hopefully you can build a list of places in your own backyard to make the most of in the year ahead, especially if your new year’s resolution is to eat well!
