BRADLEY HAWKS editor-in-chief FEATURES Dear western Queens, With the blossoming of the cherry blossoms at Socrates Sculpture Park comes the beginning of warmer months, street festivals, food carts and adventures in city parks. This month, we also celebrate our moms—whether it’s our biological mom, or the strong women who lead us and nurture us. Dina Laura walks us through the way she commemorates the day with her mother, and I share a few dessert spots that remind me of home. Be sure to visit the LIC Flea and Food, purchase a ticket to take your mom to see APAC’s production of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” or pick up a beer book to throw one back with her. As always, please share with us your own personal anecdotes, and send me any tips, comments, news or events to bhawks@boromag.com. Get outside. And give your mom a hug.
