If you’re a hopeless romantic, you’ve picked up the
right magazine: For the third year in a row, we’re
bringing you stories of how local couples met here
in western Queens. Read about seven couples’ meetcutes,
from locking eyes at a New Year’s Eve party
in Astoria to going on a 12-hour marathon first
date at locations all around the neighborhood (page
14). We’re also sharing your Valentine’s Day (and
Galentine’s Day) Instagrams (page 10).
If you’re looking for date ideas, try a pizza-making
class at an Astoria pizzeria (page 20) or ax-throwing
in Long Island City (page 32). You can test out new
bars and eateries on Ditmars (page 38) and fine Greek
dining on Broadway (page 42).
