Lights, camera… Queens! 🎬
Introducing "Queens on Camera", our new series hosted by Rob MacKay, celebrating the borough as the backdrop for some of the most iconic films in history.

🎞 We’re kicking things off with "Coming to America", where Eddie Murphy turned Queens into royalty, comedy gold, and a love letter to neighborhood life.

🎥 Buckle up- this is just the beginning. Each month, Rob will spotlight a new film as part of our It’s In Queens: Queens on Camera annual calendar series.

Ghost sign
Demolition on Met Lumber revealed an old sign for the WhiteHouse Bar and Grill on Steinway St.
It was apparently a popular hangout in the 70's. Perfect throwback Thursday. Do you have any memories or info to share with us regarding this spot?

As we say goodbye to the Metrocard it is the end of an era. The MetroCard replaced the New York City subway token in 1994.
Now, more than three decades later, the Metrocard is following the token into retirement.
The last day to buy or refill your MetroCard is December 31, 2025, as the transit system fully transitions to OMNY, a contactless payment system that allows riders to tap their credit card, phone or other smart device to pay their fare.

Thank you again for making this holiday season brighter.
