The holidays are fast approaching, and as always, we
encourage you to shop locally for your gifts. If you’re
searching for unique, handcrafted presents for your
friends and family, visit the recently opened QNS
Collaborative, where Queens makers sell their goods.
It’s getting chilly out, so most of us are spending
more time at home. Check out readers’ photos of their
cozy apartments (page 10). If you’re looking for a new
place, learn about a new affordable housing lottery in
Long Island City (page 14). Anyone without internet
access at home can borrow Wi-Fi hot spots from the
Queens Public Library (page 15).
Plus, listen to music by local singer-songwriters
who live and perform in the neighborhood and
around the city (page 26).
