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.
One of the best parts of living in western Queens is
enjoying cuisine from around the world. If you’re ready
to enjoy our restaurants again, we’ve rounded up several
spots with ample outdoor seating areas (page 26). Those
who feel safer at home can still indulge in their favorite
local dishes and cocktails, thanks to the Astoria at
Home Cookbook compiled by residents (page 14). Two
frontline nurses from Astoria tied the knot in front of
millions on the “Today Show” (page 10). A Queens
entrepreneur uses locally sourced ingredients to make
his own hot sauces for spice enthusiasts (page 25).
