Though weather has moved us from flip-flops to flannel, there’s no reason to completely retreat indoors. Beyond the farm, this month is the Fourth Annual Astoria Art Festival. Local favorite eateries like Sage General Store and Sanfords have broken from their cocoons yet again with some exquisite changes to the menu. Newcomer BLVD is luring us in with wine flights and a drool-inducing cubano sandwich. This month we explore B Corporations, sit down at a century-old ice cream counter, and sample delicious handmade pies from Europe. As always, please share with us your own personal anecdotes, and send me any tips, comments, news or events to bhawks@boromag.com. We look forward to sharing many more stories with you in the months ahead. Whether it’s via new menu items, paintings or the changing leaves, get out there and celebrate the colors of autumn.
