Jackson Heights Life

Shopping local is great for so many reasons. Our local shopping streets, 37th Ave, Northern Blvd. Roosevelt Ave, 82nd St., 74th Street and Junction Blvd. have an huge selection of locally made and international items for your holiday gifting. Whether it's Hanukkah or Christmas or another holiday of the season, please consider shopping locally. These areas took a big hit with COVID as people were shopping the big box stores we see so much in the neighborhood with deliveries. If you only shifted your purchases locally for these next fours weeks, we could see a big uptick if you are shopping for multiple gifts. Consider adding a stop at a cafe, bakery or restaurant or pick up some wine or spirits while you are at it. Small business Saturday is officially Nov. 28th.
   The whole neighborhood will benefit and we will add the holiday spirit to those streets and for those shopkeepers who keep us going these past 20 months and more. Keep it local if you can!

 FYI - if Saturday doesn't work for you, the Momo Crawl is back on Sunday and that supports a great local organization. Please try to come out...
