Happy Valentine’s Day, western Queens!
BORO is here to help you celebrate. Whether
you’re spending the day with a significant
other or a group of friends, or just taking
some well-deserved me time, we’ve got plenty
of ideas for you (page 38). Swoon over the
stories of how several local couples met right
here in the neighborhood (page 31). And take
a look at some of the sweet shots other local
love birds sent to us via Instagram (page 10).
This month, we’re also taking a look at
several new businesses: QWNS Cafe (page
16), Madam Marie’s bar (page 20), children’s
art space Playday (page 44) and The Astorian
restaurant (page 50).
