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.
Read about how local newlyweds adapted their
wedding plans to adjust to COVID, with guests
Zooming in, rooftop ceremonies and neighborhood
vendors (page 14). Murray’s Cheese Bar opened
up a new location in Long Island City (page 25).
Sonia Perry of Astoria traveled to several countries
in Africa to work with wildlife at animal reserves
(page 26). Plus, Berg’s Pastrami, a Jewish catering
company by a longtime Astoria resident, cooks up
babka, baba ghanoush and more (page 28).
