*You Are Marvelous* The Gods Wait to Delight in You
IN the somberness of the 9/11 anniversary, a lot of man-induced unusually terrible things have been happening nationally, and internationally, in the past week, that very well may have serious implications for how our world looks in the future. Yet sometimes it’s the small things that happen locally that make us ask “What is going on?”

BEER, Hot Dogs, Ice Cream, Watermelon, that’s what we should be thinking right about now here in LIC. But not fireworks, leave that to the other boroughs. And if the red, white n blue cuisine gets to be too much towards day three of a long weekend, maybe a little dim-sum. You will no longer have to travel far for that, as Dim Sum Palace has opened their branch here on Jackson Avenue in Court Square.

THOUGH it’s not even summer technically, the local news biz has dried up. No reports of Taylor Swift at xyz cafe on Vernon B, with or without Kelcy Travis. No politics, it’s all national/global this week. Oh wait, what do we have here, a local acquisition… contact Goldman Stanley asap, get the head of M&A on the phone, all hands on deck!

THERE will be NO Macy’s Fireworks for Long Island City in 2025. For the second year in a row, they will be not be held here. Yes, the fireworks will be held on the East River, but they will be centered down by the Brooklyn Bridge. Yes, feasibly you could see them if you stood on the Gantry piers, but they’ll have less visual and auditory impact than a self-launched bottle rocket or roman candle. Don’t let the uninformed mislead you, your time is better spent elsewhere.

GEE willikers, it’s that time of the year again. ManhattanHenge was scheduled to take place on May 28 & 29, but weather interruptus, and returns on July 11 & 12. Though each day is a succinct event, some believe the whole stretch between the two two-somes is a time for unbridled animal spirits. And while I don’t know what that term means exactly, I’d like to think there is nudity involved. With or without bare skin, it also spans the time of year when the days are at their longest. Get out there and enjoy!
