St Pat's Day Parade Growing In Stature
Sunnyside / March 8, 2010. By all accounts the St Pat's Day Parade in Sunnyside and Woodside was a big success. We estimate that on this fine day the audience count was easily in the thousands [two to three thousand is our estimate]. This was significantly up verus last year, quite possibly due to the nice sunny weather which included temperatures in the fifties, although there was a cool breeze.
The St Pat's For All Parade in Sunnyside and Woodside has been in existence for eleven years now. It's interesting to note that the parade legacy only goes back little more than a decade, given that Sunnyside and Woodside were considered the Irish sections of Queens for the better part of the last century.
The parade began out of a controversy in the late nineties. The Manhattan St Pat's Day Parade forbid non-heterosexuals to march in their New York City parade.

Sunnyside Gardens ParkPrivate Park Continues Tradition Of Community ServiceSunnyside / January 25, 2010. Over the course of this past year I had occasion to meet and converse with various members of Sunnyside Gardens Park. The park is privately owned - one of only two such parks in the city, with the other being Gramercy Park in Manhattan. While membership in Gramercy is closed, membership in Sunnyside Gardens Park is open to local residents. Membership in the park fluctuates, and there are currently about 300 members, most of which are family memberships. Click here to read the rest of our report about Sunnyside Gardens Park. |
Thalia Theatre Bridges Cultural DivideSunnyside / November 13, 2009. I enjoyed a dance performance by the Mestizo Dance Company last Friday evening at the Thalia Theatre in Sunnyside. The show, which runs weekends through December 6th, is a panoply of colorful costumes, music by an accomplished eight piece band, all in support of an impressive performance by a full troupe of talented dancers. All tolled they performed nearly twenty dances from various parts of Latin America which the audience seemed to greatly enjoy.

Sunnyside Shorts Film FestivalSunnyside / Updated September 7, 2009. I had the opportunity to join the film screening committee of the Sunnyside Shorts Film Festival for an afternoon of watching movies. They were in the midst of making their final first cuts as they watched through nearly fifty submitted films that they received over the past year. It was an interesting process as they made judgments based on production quality, story lines, appropriateness for the audience, acting quality and length of film. The festival will be held on Saturday, September 12th in Sunnyside Gardens Park from about 7.30 pm to 10 pm. Click here for a preview of the Sunnyside Shorts Film Festival in Queens. |
