Though the entire world was dominated by Covid this year, North Queens was certainly the first section of the city to truly feel its effects.

Despite the hardships, North Queens pushed through and celebrated many good times â award ceremonies honored its leaders, DJs played free concerts for neighbors, activists took a stand and more.
