Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,
we’ve continued to combine BORO with our sister
publication, LIC Courier, so that we can highlight
local businesses, artists, changemakers and more.
Take a break from Netflix to binge-watch
a miniseries by a local filmmaker (page 10).
Upgrading your space while staying at home? Use
this month’s apartment feature as inspiration (page
14). Say goodbye to the Secret Theatre, a longtime
Long Island City cultural institution that closed its
doors permanently during the pandemic (page 22).
Local food organizations have partnered to create a
new LIC-based food pantry (page 26).
