It’s a brand-new decade, and more than any other
new year, it’s time to set intentions and look toward
the future. Whether your resolution is to take better
care of your body or nurture your mind, we’ve got you
covered! Learn how to meal prep with your Instant Pot
from an Astoria blogger (page 32). If you’re looking to
read more in 2020 but don’t know where to start, take
a look at reading recommendations we gathered from
four local booksellers and librarians (page 38).
If you haven’t set your resolution yet, draw some
inspiration from your fellow western Queens residents,
who shared the ways they’re getting in gear for the new
year (page 10).
You can also try new cuisine at Rosatoro, a Peruvian
restaurant on Ditmars (page 20). Take in some art at
Materials for the Arts, featuring an exhibit by a Long
Island City-based artist (page 42).
