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.
Even if a real vacation isn’t in the cards this summer,
you can escape to Paris by picking up a young adult
novel by a Long Island City author (page 14). Find
out how one plant-loving Astoria couple is helping
our neighborhood become more sustainable through
a CSA (page 28). Astoria’s Ditmars Boulevard has
become a go-to outdoor dining spot for many during
COVID-19 (page 26).
To share news with us, email katrina@boromag.com
or jbagcal@schnepsmedia.com. You can also connect
