Naturally, beautiful parks with live evening concerts, bright green golf courses and magnificent athletic venues are plentiful. Outdoor dining and dancing are also abundant.

June 5th, 2009 June 4th, 2009 Connolly’s Corner is rapidly becoming a landmark restaurant in western Queens, not just for its warm, old-sod atmosphere, but also for its new menu – American Classic with influences from Ireland, Italy, Germany and Thailand.

May 28th, 2009 Among nobility, dukes rank just below kings and princes – and on 150th Street in the heart of “the village” of Whitestone, Ducale Ristorante is a cozy realm of delicious Italian food that doesn’t cost a king’s ransom.

May 27th, 2009 The BroadHollow Theatre Company picked a winner for their latest production. “My Favorite Year” is a musical comedy based on the screenplay that starred Peter O’Toole. Bearing a strong resemblance to a young O’Toole, Actor’s Equity member Tom Humbert makes the role of alcoholic “movie star” Alan Swann his own. He is believable for comedic dialogue but poignant as well, as in his rendition of the show-stopping song “If the World Were Like the Movies.” Ducale Ristorante Italiano Think you have what it takes to win a recording contract with MySpace Records?

"We are big fans of Turner Sports, specifically their NASCAR coverage," explains Buckcherry singer Josh Todd. "We are stoked to be chosen as the featured band of the season. 'Highway Star' is a killer rock song and the video we made for it is bigger and badder than anything we have done before. We are looking forward to working with Turner as the campaign runs on TV, radio and online and to getting to the race in Daytona during a break in our touring this summer."
