The mythology continues! The
New York City Greek Film Festival will run at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria’s Kaufman Arts District from Friday, Oct. 6, through Sunday, Oct. 8. Watch features, documentaries, and shorts. Plus, a director will be there one night to discuss his work.
The borough is teeming with talent, and lucky for us, it’s about to explode. The
Queensboro Dance Festival starts today and runs through Sunday at The Secret Theatre in LIC. Twenty-seven troupes will offer a wide variety of genres, including ballet, Bollywood Bhangra, Colombian folk, house, Indian Kathak, Japanese, modern, and tap.
It’s the Battle of the Dance Festivals this week with four-day and 10-show affairs in the mix. Horse-racing, the Electrical Life, and a three-day film festival are among other great options, as well as a big-name Indie rock concert with a big heart and some really wacky art.

A Grammy-winning singer is going to take families on a cultural journey through Latin America via language, music, and dance on Sunday. Colombia native Andrés Salguero – whose artistic name is
“123 Andrés” – is a veritable rock star in the four-to-10 age group. He's ready to perform and teach strategies to expand children’s dual language skills.
The Door serves the best-tasting Jamaican cuisine in Queens in my opinion. The chicken soup, ackee, and saltfish are amazingly delicious and well-seasoned. The dining atmosphere is polished and well-spaced, while the staffers are always smiling and very attentive to customers.

Fall is upon us. As always, Queens welcomes the season with open arms…and
outdoor festivals. Local residents can enjoy everything from Oktoberfest events to harvest festivals to pumpkin patches to beer festivals. Some particularly popular options are a three-acre maze, a Day of the Dead celebration, and a canine costume contest.
