This May, western Queens is coming to life with
vibrant colors and tons of flowers. Local fashionistas are
putting away their winter blacks in favor of color blocking
(page 6); our readers shared their joyful flower Instagrams
(page 10); and an Astoria couple showed us their playful,
“more is more” interior design aesthetic (page 44).
Get creative this month, whether you enjoy visual
arts, dance or music. An Astoria artist will be selling
her whimsical, floral artwork at The World’s Fare in
Citi Field (page 41). Take a belly dancing class at Sol
Dance Center — or snag tickets to their annual show if
being an audience member is more your speed (page 14).
And celebrate Pride Month this June at Astoria Choir’s
upcoming performance (page 20).
