AFTER a one-year hiatus due to a ghoulish pandemic, the LIC Halloween Parade will return to Vernon Boulevard this Saturday, October 30. The lineup kicks off at 11:15am in front of the 108th Precinct and only runs until noon? Well that’s what it says on the flyer but I’m not sure how that’s going to work out given the crowds and increasing growth in the neighborhood.

THE New York Times has declared Long Island City is now ‘Little Asia,’ or maybe it’s ‘Asiatown?’ Well they didn’t really declare it, but they might as well have given a prominent story they published this week noting the exploding Asian population in LIC.
You can read it if you want, but given the article’s strong focus on all the new Asian eateries that have popped up recently in the neighborhood it should come as no surprise to readers of LICtalk. Every third week it seems we break the story of a new Asian food-related business opening locally, and have noted the regional trend in cuisine. You could say we pointed the way!
//Bierocracy is closing. According to their website it has to do with their landlord. In the meantime all drinks are 50% off until their last hurrah this Sunday, October 24.
//Lupo Rosso Pizzeria is coming to 43-67 11th Street next to ICONYC Brewing Company. Lupo is wolf, rosso is red, and pizzeria… well that’s all I know about this place, but looks close to opening.

THERE I was on a beach in Bodrum, soaring over the net and about to spike it down onto Karch Kiraly, when the following thought entered my head ‘Should I have the doner kebap or manti for dinner tonight?’ Mm-mm doner kebap.
