It’s hard to believe that 2022 is right around the corner.
Looking for a place to ring in the new year? We rounded
up seven places to celebrate New Year’s Eve in western
Queens (page 34).
This month, we’re putting the spotlight on locals who
are representing western Queens in amazing ways.
Walk down Steinway Street to see a mural symbolizing
the neighborhood, which was painted by an Astoria
artist (page 18). Watch a local baker compete in Netflix’s
“Baking Impossible” — and take home the grand
prize (page 26). We’re also highlighting two singersongwriters
to an error; we encourage you to support their work
(page 16).
Plus, if you’re looking for a unique outdoor dining
experience, visit Cornicello, an Italian restaurant in
what used to be the driveway of Astoria World Manor
(page 14). And take a look at how your neighbors are
celebrating the holidays (page 10).
