23 LEGENDS OF ASTORIA
A Prohibition-era party
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, western Queens is
a very different place than it was just one month ago.
New York City is the epicenter of the crisis, and Queens
has been the hardest hit borough. Health concerns,
lockdowns and cancellations have transformed our
neighborhood. However you’re coping with the drastic
changes happening in Astoria, Long Island City and
Sunnyside, you’re not alone.
This month, we’re combining BORO with our sister
publication, LIC Courier, so that we can continue
highlighting local businesses and residents during this
time. The content looks a bit different — our street
style section has turned into “at-home style,” and the
events we feature are all virtual — but our commitment
to putting a spotlight on western Queens is the same.
Take a virtual yoga class from a local studio (page 16),
and check out other online events from the borough
(pages 12 and 22). Plus, see what local eateries are
delivering (pages 25, 26 and 28).
