MESSAGE FROM THE
PUBLISHER
You’re holding in your hands
something truly special — a
golden guide to the best
places and events in
Queens!
This year’s “Queens
in your Pocket”
delivers to you the top
attractions in the “World’s
Borough,” including cultural
institutions, parks, museums,
shopping and dining destinations,
and so much more.
Our goal with this magazine is to give you something to hold on
to all year long and answer a nagging question our families face
on a day off, or a holiday, or with just a few hours of extra time:
What can we do today?
By publishing this magazine, we are providing you all the
information you need to know about the great places that make
our borough such a unique place to live and enjoy life.
Since I first launched The Queens Courier in 1985, I’ve made it
my mission to bring you the news and events from around this
incredibly diverse borough of 2.3 million people. Today, our
company is the borough’s news leader both in print and on QNS.
com, Queens’ best and most widely read online news source —
getting millions of page views every year.
I want to thank my staff at Schneps Media for working with the
Queens Economic Development Corporation to bring you this
wonderful guidebook. We are grateful that our organizations
came together.
Treasure it, and use it, and enjoy Queens as we do every day!
