No vacation plans? No problem! There’s a plethora of
ways to relax, eat well and have fun right here in western
Queens, and BORO’s here to help you act like a tourist
in your own neighborhood.
First step: transportation. No one feels like they’re on
vacation while sweating on the subway, so why not rent
a moped with Revel, an app that recently expanded to
western Queens (page 26)?
Amp up your social life by trying international tapas and
cocktails at new 30th Avenue eatery The Social (page 36).
See how other locals are spending their summer (page 10),
then take a peek at an Astoria Coffee photography display
to see how Astorians used to live (page 32).
We live in the “World’s Borough,” and your neighbors
come from myriad cultures. Some local entrepreneurs
are bringing a taste of their heritage to their customers
(page 14).
