Queens Taste to Take Place at New York Hall of Science in May

(Queens Taste 2019)

Jan. 8, 2020 By Kristen Torres

More than 700 people are expected to attend the Queens Taste 2020 event at the New York Hall of Science later this year.

The 18th annual fundraiser will be held on May 5 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., where guests will be able to sample food and drinks from more than 60 different vendors.

The Queens Taste brings together international brands and local eateries each year. Attendees can expect to sample beverages from local breweries and craft coffee companies, along with a wide range of cuisines, including Brazilian, Chinese, Ecuadorian, Indian and French.

Live music will also be performed throughout the evening by the NYC-based Afro-Latineers.

Many of the borough’s business and civic leaders are slated to attend the event, which is being organized by the Queens Economic Development Corporation (QEDC) and the Queens Tourism Council.

Proceeds from Queens Taste 2020 will go back into the Queens community through the QEDC, a non-profit organization whose mission is to create, attract and retain jobs in Queens.

The New York Hall of Science is located at 47-01 111th Street in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Early bird tickets are now available for $85 at www.thequeenstaste.com. Ticket prices will increase to $125 on Mar. 1.

Met Council leader warns of ‘catastrophe’ for low-income families in Queens due to lack of pandemic-era federal food aid

Mar. 28, 2023 By Bill Parry

As an accomplished legislator, law professor and media personality with broad experience in government and not-for-profit organizations, Met Council CEO and executive director David Greenfield is well aware of the power of words. With Passover arriving on Wednesday, April 5, and with federal pandemic food assistance no longer available to low-income families in Queens, the leader of the nation’s largest Jewish charity organization warned of a coming “catastrophe” and called for the city to step up to provide $13 million in emergency funding for pantries to help New Yorkers facing food insecurity and elevated costs of living in the borough.

Pair of Queens community organizations will activate public spaces to celebrate local cultures

Two Queens community organizations are among an inaugural cohort of five groups citywide that will lead new projects to celebrate local cultures and histories in public spaces under a new initiative called The Local Center in a partnership between Urban Design Forum and the Association for Neighborhood & Housing Development (ANHD).

At a time when New York is grappling with an uneven pandemic recovery and as displacement looms large for communities and neighborhoods across the five boroughs, this new endeavor will convene interdisciplinary teams to transform and activate the shared spaces where cultural traditions flourish — and importantly, center the community visions and leadership that is too often left out of the process.
