Dear Western Queens, In this month of Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to extend my sincere gratitude to the incredible team at BORO, and to each of our readers. When I first joined three years ago, I never could have guessed the prolific treasury of inspiring stories that would perpetually fall into my lap. We are truly blessed to live in such a vibrant, electric neighborhood. This month, we get to peek at the impressive facilities of the Yoga Room and jump into a silks course. We sit down with a talented author and comedian who is bringing a new level of entertainment and arts to the neighborhood. As I type this, the vendors of the LIC Flea are moving indoors and preparing for the winter market, so you can enjoy Vendy Award winning bites and unique arts and fashion throughout the winter at 5-25 46th Avenue in Long Island City. From Monkey Farts scented soap to deep-fried banana pudding, to an Emmy award-winning director and playwright, a delicious new burger, and a visit to Sleepy Hollow, this month is rich with great stories. As always, please share with us your own personal anecdotes, and send us any tips, comments, news, or events via Facebook. We look forward to sharing many more stories with you in the months ahead!
