  • Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz
    THE OFFICE OF THE QUEENS BOROUGH PRESIDENT Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz Queens Borough President The Borough of Queens is home to more than 2.3 million residents, representing more than 120 countries and speaking more than 135 languages1. The seamless knit that ties these distinct cultures and transforms them into shared communities is what defines the character of Queens. The Borough’s diverse population continues to steadily grow. Foreign-born residents now represent 48% of the Borough’s population2. Traditional immigrant gateways like Sunnyside, Woodside, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona, and Flushing are now communities with the highest foreign-born population in the entire city3. Immigrant and Intercultural Services The immigrant population remains largely underserved. This is primarily due to linguistic and cultural barriers. Residents with limited English proficiency now represent 28% of the Borough4, indicating a need for a wide range of social service support and language access to City services. All services should be available in multiple languages, and outreach should be improved so that culturally sensitive programming can be made available. The Borough President is actively working with the Queens General Assembly, a working group organized by the Office of the Queens Borough President, to address many of these issues. Cultural Queens is amidst a cultural transformation. The Borough is home to some of the most iconic buildings and structures in the world, including the globally recognized Unisphere and New York State Pavilion. Areas like Astoria and Long Island City are establishing themselves as major cultural hubs. In early 2014, the New York City Council designated the area surrounding Kaufman Astoria Studios as the city’s first arts district through a City Council Proclamation The areas unique mix of adaptively reused residential, commercial, and manufacturing buildings serve as a catalyst for growth in culture and the arts.

    Gourmet Tea for tea tastings. Or catch the bubble tea wave at branches of international powerhouses such as CoCo, Kung Fu, and Happy Lemon. Flushing, beyond the well-known Main Street, is truly a wonder to explore. Take an afternoon to walk around the neighborhood, making stops in Murray Hill to try an array of authentic Korean BBQ dishes at Hahm Ji Bach, or the Hindu Temple Society of North America, whose Temple Canteen is a well-kept secret for delicious dosas. In fact, Flushing has a rich history of multicultural diversity. As the birthplace of religious freedom, it is home to many houses of worship representing almost every faith. When you emerge from the Main Street station, marvel at the iconic St. George’s Episcopal Church with more than 300 years of history. Close by is the Quaker Meeting House – the oldest house of worship in New York City and a National Historic Landmark. Break the other direction and explore the magnificent Free Synagogue of Flushing with its beautiful dome and stained glass windows. Across the street from the Meeting House is Flushing Town Hall, once the center of government for an independent town, now an important center for the diversity and interweaving of immigrant arts. History buffs will be pleased to discover seven historic houses, many of which are within walking distance from one another. Stop by the Bowne House, Kingsland Homestead (the headquarters for the Queens Historical Society) and the Voelker Orth Museum, which has a beautiful Victorian garden and bird sanctuary. Another beloved landmark, the Lewis H.

  • The Bowne House Historical Society, Inc. AUTUMN 2014 Bowne House Restoration Update – Fall, 2014
    The Bowne House Historical Society, Inc. AUTUMN 2014 Bowne House Restoration Update – Fall, 2014 We are pleased to announce that Phase I, the Exterior Restoration, is almost complete. This phase included structural stabilization, installation of a new cedar roof, new siding, and restoration of windows and doors. A new coat of paint has freshened the appearance of the exterior. Jan Hird Pokorny Associates, New York, was the architect for this project. They were assisted by Robert Silman, an engineering firm, and by Rudy Christian of Christian & Son, and Ron Anthony, who consulted on the project. Window restoration ws done by James Hicks. We would like to thank them for helping us achieve our goal of preserving and restoring our museum. We were assisted by NYC Department of Parks and Recreation, with the help of project managers Scott Harrison and Rob Iaropoli. And we are grateful also to our resident manager, Anne Perl de Pal. Funding for Phase I was provided by private donations from our trustees, members and friends, and from generous allocations from The Honorable Helen M. Marshall, who retired last year as Queens Borough President; as well as from former City Council Member John Liu, former NYS Assembly Member Barry Grodenchik, and Councilman Peter Koo. Additional funding was provided by the State of New York. We would like to thank all of those who helped to make this project a reality. We could not have done it without your encouragement and enthusiastic support. In a few weeks, scaffolding which had covered the exterior will come down and visitors will be able to view the results of many months of restoration work.

  • NYC & Company Highlights Flushing, Queens, As Part of Neighborhood
    NYC & Company Highlights Flushing, Queens, As Part of Neighborhood by Neighborhood Campaign Campaign Encourages Exploration of Authentic Asian Restaurants, World-Class Museums and Diverse Historical Attractions. NYC & Company, New York City’s official marketing, tourism and partnership organization, announced Flushing as the next destination to be featured in Neighborhood x Neighborhood. With its bustling Chinatown and a sizable Asian American community, Flushing, Queens, is easily accessible by the 7 subway train. For “Must-See Flushing” highlights and more, visit nycgo.com/neighborhoods. In order to continue encouraging growth in New York City’s tourism industry, Neighborhood x Neighborhood targets repeat visitors, intrepid first-time visitors and New Yorkers seeking new adventure here in their home city. The campaign was designed to highlight the diversity of offerings in New York City’s five boroughs, encourage exploration in areas outside traditional tourist locations and generate economic activity in the featured neighborhoods. Settled first by the Dutch and then by the English in the 17th century, Flushing is now home to one of New York City’s Chinatowns as well as one of the largest communities of ethnic Chinese outside of China. This concentration of Asian settlement dates to the 1970s, when an influx of Taiwanese immigrants moved to the neighborhood. Other immigrants from different regions of China soon followed. Although a majority of residents are from Asia, the neighborhood is also home to residents from other countries. “Must-See Flushing” Highlights The following venues and more are featured on nycgo.com/neighborhoods. The Shops at Queens Crossing offer everything from delicious dim sum and bubble tea to high-end contemporary Asian fare.
