Toast the Runners in LIC
NYC Marathon in Queens - November 1, 2009- Get to Vernon Boulevard for the best NYC Marathon party. The sidewalks and great restaurants and bars on Vernon aren't mobbed like those along the route in Manhattan, and it's the halfway point, a place where runners need that extra cheer.
Film Fest
Queens International Film Festival (QIFF) - November 12-15, 2009- The seventh annual Queens International Film Festival offers over 100 indie film screenings. Along with films made across the globe, there's the premiere of Carpet Races. The festival opens and closes at the new Frank Sinatra School of the Arts.

Balloons Over Flushing Meadows
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Balloon Practice - Early November 2009- The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloons usually come to Flushing Meadows for practice in early November. It's a real treat, but not one that's officially announced. As soon as I hear official word and times, I'll post here.
Taking Care of Business
LICBDC Annual Luncheon and Trade Show - November 18, 2009- The biggest business networking event in Queens is an annual affair run by the Long Island City Business Development Corporation (LICBDC). The name says Long Island City, but entrepreneurs borough-wide can find good connects at the free trade show.
Give Thanks!
