13th Annual Taste of Queens at The NY Hall of Science Flushing NYC -2015

17-05-2015Abbey Muneer 0

The Queens Economic Development Corporation, the Queens Tourism Council, and lead sponsor Delta Air Lines are proud to announce that the borough’s premiere food-and-networking event — Queens Taste 2015 — Which took place at the New York Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows Corona Park on Tuesday, May 12, from 6 pm to 9 pm.

The reasons to attend were that Foodies can expect everything from crunchy to creamy, fiery to flaky, and sweet to savory. For example, La Fusta in Elmhurst will bring beefy Argentine fare, while Jamaica’s O Lavrador will prepare Portuguese paella. Pa-Nash in Rosedale will serve West Indian/Moroccan fusion, while Astoria’s Zenon Taverna will go with Greek specialties. Latin participants include the Arepa Lady (Colombian) from Jackson Heights and Mexican cuisine via La Adelita in Woodside. Asian treats will come from Flushing’s Mulan, Thai Rock in Rockaway, and Kimchee Smoke, which is often at LIC Flea & Food. Meanwhile, the Michelin-starred M. Wells Steakhouse will bring its famous beef tartare meatballs.

Plus, clients of the Entrepreneur Space, a food-and-business incubator that QEDC operates in Long Island City, will be on hand with their artisan specialties, such as gluten-free products and ethnic desserts. Then there are the drinks. Long Island City’s SquareWine & Spirits headlines a beverage group that includes borough-based Queens Courage gin.

As part of the fun, the public will vote on Best Appetizer, Best Entrée, Best Dessert, and Best Beverage in a people’s choice format. Plus, Big Apple Circus clowns will do magic tricks and give away free red noses to all attendees (or at least those who want one).

Finally, there’s the networking. Most of the roughly 800 attendees either live in Queens or do business in the borough (or both). So Queens Taste 2015 provides the perfect scene to meet like-minded individuals, talk shop, and exchange business cards in a friendly atmosphere.

“Delta is proud to call Queens home with both of our hubs at JFK and LGA, right in the heart of the borough. We’re excited to partner again with the Queens Economic Development Corp. and the Queens Tourism Council to bring neighbors together for this popular — and delicious — community event,” stated Gail Grimmett, Senior Vice President New York for Delta Air Lines.

“Because of the food, drinks, desserts, people, venue, and tremendous energy, I look forward to Queens Taste all year,” added QEDC Executive Director Seth Bornstein. “It’s so much fun on so many levels.”

In announcing the New York service, PAL Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Lucio C. Tan said, “This auspicious start of regular flights to New York will coincide with PAL’s 74th founding anniversary.” The four-times-a-week service – Manila-Vancouver-New York – will operate at Terminal 1 of New York’s JFK International Airport. PAL will have full traffic rights between Vancouver and New York. The addition of New York will bring to five the total US destinations, following Los Angeles, San Francisco, Honolulu and Guam. The flight to New York – distance of 14,501 kilometers or approximately 16.5 total flying hours – will be PAL’s longest route.

Flight PR 126 departs Manila every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at 11:50 p.m. Arrival in Vancouver is 8:50 p.m. on the same day. After a two-hour transit stop, the service continues on to New York at 10:50 p.m., touching down at Terminal 1 of JFK International at 7:00 a.m. the following day.

The New York service will have the added benefit of boosting PAL’s Canadian operation. From March 15, 2015, the current daily service between Manila and Vancouver will spike to 11 flights weekly with three departure times from Manila – mid-afternoon, early evening and late evening – providing wider schedule choices to passengers. Manila-Toronto will add a fourth weekly frequency, increasing capacity on this long-haul route in time for the peak summer travel period out of Manila.

Overall, Filipinos on the East Coast account for 15% of the estimated 3.4-million-strong Filipino population in the U.S., comprising a natural base market for PAL.JFK Airport is located at Queens Borough, 15 miles to midtown Manhattan, with convenient connection to the New York subway train system (MTA).

10-06-2014Abbey Muneer 0

Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Katherine of Serbia and her Foundation have inspired the work of Lifeline New York.
When HRH Crown Princess Katherine was in exile with her husband HRH Crown Prince Alexander, she always had her country in her heart. During those difficult years, Crown Princess Katherine worked hard to provide humanitarian aid to Serbia. Among Crown Princess Katherine’s many initiatives, she provided caravans of food, medicines and other necessities to refugees, regardless of ethnicity or country of origin. The Crown Princess has always believed that there are no borders in suffering.

Their Royal Highnesses returned to Belgrade in 2001 after the October 2000 revolution. Shortly thereafter, the HRH Crown Princess Katherine Foundation was established with the aim of helping disadvantaged people including children, the sick, refugees, internally displaced peoples and the elderly.

The HRH Crown Princess Katherine Foundation provides aid for medical institutions in the form of: medicine and medical equipment; medical training; implementation of reconstruction projects and extension of capacities. In addition, the Foundation addresses needs of children with mental and physical disabilities, children with special needs, and orphans. Recent efforts have been expanded to support schools and universities, by providing scholarships and improving communication between students and educational experts from foreign countries.

The Foundation’s daily activities include working with the following ministries that have a crucial role in the development of its projects: Ministry of Health, Ministry of Social Affairs, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Economy and Regional Development, Ministry of Labor and Employment and Ministry of Trade and Tourism.

Exclusive Interview with H.E. Dr. Donatus St. Aimee, Ambassador of Saint Lucia to The United Nations – New York, 2012

04-08-2013Abbey Muneer 0

Saint Lucia is a Caribbean island between the Caribbean Sea and North Atlantic Ocean, north of Trinidad and Tobago.
The island, with its fine natural harbor at Castries, was contested between England and France throughout the 17th and early 18th centuries (changing possession 14 times); it was finally ceded to the UK in 1814. Even after the abolition of slavery on its plantations in 1834, Saint Lucia remained an agricultural island, dedicated to producing tropical commodity crops. Self-government was granted in 1967 and independence in 1979.
The island nation has been able to attract foreign business and investment, especially in its offshore banking and tourism industries, with a surge in foreign direct investment in 2006, attributed to the construction of several tourism projects.

Although crops such as bananas, mangos, and avocados continue to be grown for export, tourism provides Saint Lucia’s main source of income and the industry is the island’s biggest employer. The tourism sector is likely to face declining revenues with the global economic downturn as US and European travel declines. The manufacturing sector is the most diverse in the Eastern Caribbean area, and the government is trying to revitalize the banana industry.
