When I was a child, I always loved September: new clothes, new school supplies, new classes and, best of all, new beginnings. The back-toschool season was always so full of possibilities. As adults, we work year-round, and one month bleeds into the next; the most concrete new beginning we get rolls around on Jan. 1. I don’t know about you, but I miss the start of a new school year. We can’t turn back time, but we can recreate that feeling. We compiled a handy list of classes that you can take right here in western Queens, from baking to salsa dancing, that can give you something to look forward to this fall. Turn to page 18 to learn more. As always, BORO has a little something for KATRINA MEDOFF editor-in-chief everyone, whether you’re interested in fashion, books, theater, food, nightlife, music or interior design. Do you have any tips, news or stories to share with BORO? Email me at katrina@boromag.com. And please connect with us on Twitter (@BOROMAG) and Instagram (@boromagazine). We love hearing from you.
