It’s In Queens! News From The Queens Tourism Council Diversity. Queens is famous for it, but this column probably focuses on it too much. But how else to describe these upcoming events? Polish films, Colombian dance, a Russian orchestra, Chinese art, Irish music, German composers, Australian performance art, Greek and Italian food, and then a native daughter’s poetry. Here’s the rundown. • Tonight (Thursday), Nov. 13, Gingerbread Lane, 4 to 7 p.m. The opening celebration for the world’s largest gingerbread village, which will be on display past Christmas.
