Events
QueensWest.com’s own pub crawls and the neighborhood events it joined.
Between 2003 and 2007 QueensWest.com ran a neighborhood pub crawl almost every year: “an unofficial ‘get to know you’ if you will.” The flyers below come from Jason’s files. Many of the bars have since closed; addresses are as printed.
May 21, 2005Start: Gantry Park, “The Bar Pier (fitting no?)”
May 31, 2008Saturday, May 31, 2008: Water Taxi Beach, Lucky Mojo, Jackson Ave Steakhouse and more.
The neighborhood calendar: the site’s community calendar, with 174 dated events posted by Jake and by neighbors from 2003 to 2013, is at Neighborhood calendar, 2003–2013.
