JUNE IN JACKSON HEIGHTS

"A modest marketing campaign that began on Tuesday aims to change that. It is capitalizing on the borough's unparalleled diversity to promote artists of Jackson Heights, the most diverse of Queens' 80-plus neighborhoods. The effort, called "June in Jackson Heights", is as local and bare bones as it gets....The month-long series has an appropriate motto, "Experience the world in one neighborhood," and the ambitious goal of coaxing tourists and New Yorkers who live elsewhere to spend some time in Queens." - The New York Times

Dear Neighbors,

Jackson Heights has long been home to a diverse array of talented artists, writers, actors, and musicians. The broad range of arts and culture we have here has made this a unique neighborhood in which to live, work, eat, and shop. This June, I am inviting you to take part in what makes our neighborhood so special.

We have so much to offer. Come out for the Queens LGBT Parade and Multicultural Festival, or take a walking tour of our historic garden apartment buildings. Sample authentic cuisine from every corner of the world during restaurant week, or stroll down 37th Avenue and visit our local businesses that will be hosting works of art by neighborhood artists.

Whatever you do here this month, whether you're a resident or a visitor, I am sure you will enjoy June in Jackson Heights !

Sincerely,

Daniel Dromm
