The Queens Economic Development Corporation, the Queens Tourism Council, and lead sponsor Delta Air Lines are proud to announce that the borough’s premiere food-and-networking event — Queens Taste 2015 — Which took place at the New York Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows Corona Park on Tuesday, May 12, from 6 pm to 9 pm.

The reasons to attend were that Foodies can expect everything from crunchy to creamy, fiery to flaky, and sweet to savory. For example, La Fusta in Elmhurst will bring beefy Argentine fare, while Jamaica’s O Lavrador will prepare Portuguese paella. Pa-Nash in Rosedale will serve West Indian/Moroccan fusion, while Astoria’s Zenon Taverna will go with Greek specialties. Latin participants include the Arepa Lady (Colombian) from Jackson Heights and Mexican cuisine via La Adelita in Woodside. Asian treats will come from Flushing’s Mulan, Thai Rock in Rockaway, and Kimchee Smoke, which is often at LIC Flea & Food. Meanwhile, the Michelin-starred M. Wells Steakhouse will bring its famous beef tartare meatballs.

Plus, clients of the Entrepreneur Space, a food-and-business incubator that QEDC operates in Long Island City, will be on hand with their artisan specialties, such as gluten-free products and ethnic desserts. Then there are the drinks. Long Island City’s SquareWine & Spirits headlines a beverage group that includes borough-based Queens Courage gin.

As part of the fun, the public will vote on Best Appetizer, Best Entrée, Best Dessert, and Best Beverage in a people’s choice format. Plus, Big Apple Circus clowns will do magic tricks and give away free red noses to all attendees (or at least those who want one).

Finally, there’s the networking. Most of the roughly 800 attendees either live in Queens or do business in the borough (or both). So Queens Taste 2015 provides the perfect scene to meet like-minded individuals, talk shop, and exchange business cards in a friendly atmosphere.

We’re excited to partner again with the Queens Economic Development Corp. and the Queens Tourism Council to bring neighbors together for this popular — and delicious — community event,” stated Gail Grimmett, Senior Vice President New York for Delta Air Lines.

During the roaring 20s, Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen started their journey into technology when it was still an almost magical phenomenon, and with the accompanying flourish of Art Deco, it was clear that luxury, glamour and exuberance were at the heart of the time. Launching today in celebration of Bang & Olufsen’s 90th Anniversary is the Love Affair Collection. This exclusive collection, containing six current B&O designs, is a living illustration of the love affair that has lasted from their origin in the roaring twenties to present day.

The radiant and romantic Rose golden nuance is achieved through a unique dyeing process, which in itself inspires our designers to create concepts that can match any style and any age, where the only limit is their imagination. This, combined with warm and elegant walnut wood, bridges past and present to represent the passion, pride and persistence that has been driving Bang & Olufsen for the last 90 years.

The Love Affair Collection consists of the following six current products; the first is the majestic and recently launched BeoVision Avant 85, and then the all-in one entertainment solution BeoVision 11-46 and BeoRemote One.

He has worked for many wrestling promotions, including World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) as well as numerous promotions in Japan.

SYNOPSIS
Few parents give much thought to the jovial man in the Santa suit who promises their kids they’ll get everything they want for Christmas. If they did, they might be surprised. The new documentary I AM SANTA CLAUS looks at the men who put on the red suit every December and selflessly commit themselves to making anonymous children happy. Directed by Tommy Avallone and produced by Hall of Fame professional wrestler, Mick Foley, I AM SANTA CLAUS is the latest film that’s being release as part of the successful “Morgan Spurlock Presents” film label.

Everyone thinks of Santa Claus as a magical figure without flaws, but the men who keep his legend alive, real-bearded professional Santas, are rarely anything like the jolly old Saint Nick we’ve all grown up knowing. In reality, the mall Santa in your cherished children’s photo has problems just like the rest of us. Even the most jovial of men fall victim to divorce, job loss, insecurity and even the occasional hangover.

Tommy Avallone’s documentary I AM SANTA CLAUS – featuring Hall of Fame pro wrestler (and producer of the film) Mick Foley, who knows a thing or two about make-believe – follows the lives of five professional Santas for an entire year, as they anticipate and prepare for Christmas season and then return to their “real” lives during the off-season. We see who they actually are: flawed, flesh-and-blood men who nevertheless feel a great responsibility to protect the spotless reputation of the “Red Suit.”

World Liberty TV, Team was on hand to interview Mick foley in regarding his upcoming Documentary Titled: I Am Santa Claus. At The NY Comic Con 2014, see what he had to say to us.
