This month, we’re celebrating the fact that
we have finally been able to shed our winter
layers. For those who really want to show
off some skin, we’ve got a roundup of tattoo
parlors in western Queens (page 30) and a
photo feature of residents’ best ink (page 10).
Wedding season is upon us, so we’re
highlighting two Astoria residents making
unique invites that are sure to tempt brides-
and grooms-to-be (page 36).
Get out of your apartment to hear live
music (page 50), or reserve a table at the
neighborhood’s only Drag Sunday Brunch
(page 16).
