Today we’re introducing a new feature - the QNYC Evening Edition. It is a digest of posts from the day, packaged in a convenient email and sent you in the late afternoon, Monday to Friday. This will be the perfect thing for you to read on your evening commute or after you get home from work.

We’d love for you to subscribe – you can sign up for the QNYC Evening Edition on our homepage. You can choose three formats for the content – plain text, HTML, and even a version that’s formatted for your mobile device.

We look forward to you joining the fun, and bringing you this digest each weekday! Thanks for subscribing.

A few exciting updates to our site, with more on the way.

We’ve continued to expand our events calendar so you can access the best of what’s going on in Queens, from kayaking trips to lunchtime dance parties. Our real estate listings now number over 5,700.

Besides our new logo, a site redesign is in the works. Our new layout will be more clear and comprehensive, allowing readers to easily navigate between all our site features–the QueensNYC blog, calendar, listings, reviews, and social media feeds.

Since we’re still fine tuning, blog content will be light for the next few weeks. Please keep sharing our site with your friends and neighbors. Find us on Twitter and Facebook, and add your own photos of Queens to our Flickr page.
