More than half of western Queens residents started
a new hobby during quarantine, according to an
informal poll on our Instagram, and we’re putting a
spotlight on these pastimes. See how your neighbors
have been entertaining themselves at home (page 10).
We found eight neighborhood stores selling supplies
for hobbies ranging from fitness to music to crafts so
that you can shop local whenever possible (page 26).
Plus, learn how locals are helping their foodinsecure
neighbors with community fridges (page
14). Missing Broadway? Check out immersive
audio plays coming to Astoria this month (page 21).
Whitey Ford Field is being revamped, so learn all
about the field’s transformation and its namesake’s
Astoria roots (page 22).
