Events Freshly baked pandesal rolls every Saturday in Sunnyside
Hi Queens! We’re Jen and Kian, the team behind Arellano Pandesal, a local micro-bakery. We offer weekly Saturday pickups from our production kitchen in Sunnyside.
Our pandesal is professionally baked from a family recipe, using a blend of four flours. We cold-ferment the dough for 48 hours and roll each piece by hand. The bread is slightly sweet with a hint of vanilla—lighter than brioche but sturdier than milk bread.
(We also have sweet and savory ensaymadas) Find the menu, pickup times, and pre-orders at hotplate.com/arellanopandesal
Happy to answer questions about the bread or pickups here!

Arts & Culture Family Friendly Hispanic Music? (Hispanic Heritage Month)
Hello Queens 👋
I am a Mexican member of the community, and i work with youth in a school setting and in order to make a playlist for HHM celebrations, with songs that capture the background of as many countries most relevant to the Queens population, I wanted to ask the people here directly to share some of your favorite songs from hispanic artists (the song doesnt necessarily need to be in spanish!) That are appropriate for school setting!
If you have any suggestions, let me know and id love to hear what country is being represented with the suggestion as well 🙌🏽

News Flushing's Queensboro Hill Library Is Back — $2.8M HVAC Fix, New Computers, Main Street Reopens
The Queens Public Library Queensboro Hill branch at 60-05 Main Street is open again. On Thursday, September 10, 2026, the 7,200-square-foot Flushing neighborhood library reopened after a $2.8 million heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning overhaul — plus new LED lighting, a dropped ceiling, fresh paint, new computers, and a full IT rebuild.
For families across southern Flushing, Queensboro Hill, and Kew Gardens Hills, this is not a ribbon-cutting photo op. It is the return of a Main Street anchor: free Wi-Fi, homework help, Chinese- and English-language programs, printing, job-search computers, and a climate-controlled place to sit when summer heat or winter cold makes home hard.
Anyone been by since it reopened?

The Collaboratory studio is a not-for-profit project by Queens Collaborative; a local community arts group. In addition to spreading art skills and enthusiasm, our events pay local teaching artists, fund our art supply distribution program, and provide an affordable studio space for resident artists.
We appreciate the support of the Queens community, who help us make art & creativity accessible!
