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.
Missing your favorite restaurants? Read about how
they’re doing after months of closures (page 10). If
you’ve watched everything on Netflix, entertain
yourself with some podcasts hosted by Queens
residents (page 14). An organization based in Long
Island City is providing kids with at-home art kits to
inspire creativity (page 25).
