BRADLEY HAWKS editor-in-chief Dear Western Queens, Western Queens is a perpetual source of inspiration. Not only are we the most diverse borough in the city, but we are the birthplace of so much creativity. This month, we check in with a couple who are creating bold flavors at the Falchi Building, where we also meet with a jazz guitarist who loves to make art from his food. Queens not only blazes trails in food and art, but the Patricia Kenny Dance Collection premieres new works in dance at the Queens Theatre this month, as well. And we are reminded that many of the city’s biggest stars live right here in our neighborhood, with the fantastic new on-line show, Broadway Nosh. As the cover suggests, we crack open some terrific new egg-focused brunches, try a new pizzeria, and sample yet another Korean restaurant. We even introduce you to the first gin distillery in Queens. Plus, we check in at the Paper Factory Hotel, which is ranked one of the best hotels in Queens by Fodor’s Travel—I mean, c’mon—they are the home of the new Mundo, which is better than ever. As always, please share with us your own personal anecdotes, and send me any tips, comments, news, or events to [email protected]. We look forward to sharing many more stories with you in the months ahead. Happy St. Patty’s Day!
