THE ‘DISH’ ON TASTE OF SUNNYSIDEBy Shannon Carlin

In this economy, it’s hard to goout to dinner on an average Tues-day night, but on October 19th

Sunnyside Shines made it a littleeasier by bringing the best restau-rants to one location for under $30.

Residents of Sunnyside andthose from neighboring com-munities filled Master Billiards& Cafe to try a little bit ofeverything. From Romanian toMexican, Italian to Thai the di-versity of the neighborhood waswell represented.

Destiny Reed and her friendSerene Eaddy were the first oneson line. Reed, a Flushing nativewho works in Sunnyside, admit-

The live radio comedyfundraiser held October 5 at Side-tracks restaurant was an SRO hitin the elegant and spacious Side-tracks Restaurant main room andbar. The $5 cocktails “Bad Girl ofthe Boulevard (chocolate martini)and “Sunnyside Knock Out”(Cosmo) did nothing to dampenthe mood either. Sunnyside Cham-ber of Commerce was able to raiseabout $1700 at the event thanks tosupporters, and keep the trend go-ing to stay local and be enter-tained. AssemblywomanCatherine Nolan, CouncilmanJimmy Van Bramer, John Vogtand James Bray of SunnysideShines, Kiwanis and Lions Clubmembers, Donald McCallian andUnited Forties members, MonicaGuzman of Sunnyside Commu-nity Services, and fun lovers fromLaGuardia College attended.Chamber President Ira Greenbergwittily handled the raffle awards,

noted musical director Paul L.Johnson, under the direction/pro-duction of our own Sofia LandonGeier of Unity Stage Company inher “Live Radio Show,” with com-edy sketches. Sofia wrote the jinglelyrics to well-known hits of thepast for supporters, which were ahit with the knowing audience.Popular were those such as one to

GETTING SPOILED AT SEA WHILE FREE STYLE CRUISING WITH FRIENDSBy Luke Adams

Since most of us were leavingfrom Sunnyside or Woodside, thiscruise was very convenient for us.A neighbor gave us a lift to theNew Passenger Terminal, so inless than an hour of we were at thePier. As soon as we arrived, theporter took our luggage, and withinan hour we were on the ship andready for lunch. We were alreadyon vacation! I must complimentthem for this. A secret I must tellyou about is that the Venetian res-taurant is open as soon as you’re onthe ship and has no crowds. TheGarden Café is buffet style, but onarrival was very crowded, so youmay want to avoid it, besides I likebeing served.Food and Restaurants: I must saythat after being on dozen of cruises,I was relieved to be away from theschedule of having to be at dinnerat a specific time. The Dawn has 9restaurants, so there is plenty tochoose from. The Garden Cafe isgreat for Buffet. There are two freerestaurants on board the Dawn.The larger of the two in the aft ofthe ship is the beautiful Venetianand the other near mid-ship is theAqua. I preferred the Venetian be-cause the Aqua had tables muchcloser together, but they both havethe same menu. Other restaurantson board my personal favorite LeBistro (French), Impressions (Ital-ian), Cagneys Steak House,Tapenyaki (Japanese cooked atyour table - this was fun, entertain-ing and delicious), Salsa (Mexi-can), Bamboo (Asian) and a SushiBar. All of these require a smallsurcharge, but it’s definitely worthit. We tried them all and were neverdisappointed. We dined atCagneys, Le Bistros and Impres-sions. Impressions was good, butSunnyside’s Dazies Restaurantcould teach then a thing or two.Cagneys and Le Bistros were amaz-ing, we tried them last year andthey only got better,Stateroom/Steward: Our room wasan outside balcony cabin on deck 9forward. The balcony stateroomson Norwegian Dawn feature a sit-ting area, and a floor-to-ceilingglass door that opens to a privatebalcony. Every morning I wouldhave room service and enjoy break-fast on the balcony. The beds werecomfortable and we found the stor-age space fine. The bathroom wasmuch larger than on other cruises.There even is a shower door ratherthan a curtain. We knew there wasonly one outlet in the stateroom,which was just fine for charging upour cell phones. Our two roomstewards were wonderful andmemorized our names surprisinglyfast. They could not do enough forus and wish I could have smuggledone home with me. One easily getslazy and used to being waited onhand and foot. I felt spoiled!

Our Port of calls included:Halifax, Nova Scotia; Bay of Fundy

(Saint John); Bar Harbor (AcadiaNational Park); Boston, Massachu-setts; Newport, Rhode Island.

One of the most popular thingsto do on Norwegian Dawn is to goto the Stardust Theatre for itsnightly show. The Stardust The-atre is huge! It spans three decks(5, 6, and 7). This theatre has acapacity of 1,037 and features vari-ous Broadway and Vegas-styles h o w s .The list goes on! There is also alibrary, Internet cafe, the ShufflesCard Room, the LifeStyles room

Our neighbors John & Barbara Panisi joined us at our cabin party (they’vesailed dozens of times but this was their first time on a free style cruise).

Eileen Flynn, Luke Adams, Aida Lopez, Roel Vanderkooi, Ernie &Rosalie De Graff, were all invited to a special repeaters party. Eileenwas the lucky one because she won a beautiful original watercolorpainting from the Park West Galleries.

Marie Konecko, Marie Teresa, Bertha Ana Florez, Roel Vanderkooi atour Cabin party, which not only brought us together, but we shared aPina Colada from Lowery Liquors. Roel and Deborah Konecko enjoyed the view from our balcony.

(a place for quiet reading), and theHavana Club (a premium cigar,cognac, and spirits club). The ElDorado Spa is located on deck 11.Feel free to pamper yourself andchoose from a wide range of spatreatments - you won’t regret it!

Entertainment: NCL does agood job at spreading out events.The shows were really good. Thecomedy was hilarious. One show Irecommend not missing is theBollywood show.

Norwegian Dawn: The ship it-self is kept in really good shape. If

you are a latitudes member (peoplewho travel on NCL before) you getdiscounts in the shops and photoson board. The layout of the ship, Ifelt was thought out very well.There are a lot of public bathroomsand navigation around the ship isvery simple.

Overall: I absolutely loved thefreestyle dinning. It didn’t matterwhat time I came back on the shipfrom our outings - I never had toworry about rushing to make it todinner. Cruising is by far the cheap-est way of travel. Think of it this

way: it includes a hotel, airfare,entertainment and food. How canyou go wrong? We have one bigadvantage - we were traveling withfriends, plus we made some newones on the cruise as well!

Next year we look forward tosailing on the Gem with theSunnyside Chamber of Commerce,to Bermuda on the August 21st

sailing, why not join us.If you need information feel

BOXING MEMENTO COMES HOMEStory by Patricia Dorfman, Bell photo by James Perrone

A piece of Sunnyside’s past was un-veiled at the October 5 SidetracksSunnyside Chamber of Commerce Ben-efit “Live Radio Show.” The actual arenaboxing bell was sounded with a loud,satisfying “ding!” and the sound instantlyconjured up the sense of the live arena.

There are other items attached to thememento such as the autographed glovesof Cassius Clay-Mohammed Ali, andother memorabilia from the past.Mohammed Ali never fought at SunnysideGarden and his gloves were added by thesports fan who made the fun wall piecefor himself to preserve fond memories.There are so many small, semi-valuablebut unrelated period objects (like a Team-ster belt buckle and coins) affixed to this1.5x3-foot piece of wood, that one won-ders if they were won during a hot pokergame back in the day!

This author stumbled on this sports fanassemblage on eBay this summer and ne-gotiated a price with seller Jimmy Perroneof Woodstock, based on bringing it intactto Sunnyside and not breaking up themementoes – the work of Jimmy’s father,Ciro Perrone. Chamber Marketing Direc-tor Luke Adams, a Sunnyside history fanand collector, stepped up and paid for thepiece up front at a price under $400, andwas repaid by the Chamber of Commerce,who now owns it.

Jimmy Perrone had been asked by hisfather to start clearing and selling some ofattic clutter from his home in upstate NewYork, which included this wall piece, amidother beautiful old tools and hardware.Jimmy would have found it much easier tosell Mohammed Ali’s gloves separately,which sell now for around $2200. But

Ciro, who attached the gloves, was notinterested in selling items piecemeal.

Ciro Perrone reported he had receivedthe actual arena boxing bell as a gift froma guy he described as an “old pug,” PattyGiovanelli, who was also “some kind ofGarden official.” Ciro now in his nineties,told his son that he was happy the boxingbell was “going home to Sunnyside.”Jimmy drove it down himself. Ciro Perroneand his family used to live in Queens andhad many happy memories of the fights atthe Sunnyside Garden arena. Dan Glasserof Stray tested the bell, and Rigo Cardosoof Pronto stored it prior to its debut atSidetracks October 5. Hai Hai Wu ofBands Cleaners created the red velvet“cloak of mystery” for the October 5 localre-debut, which was met with a collective,“ahh” by those assembled at the Chamberbenefit bash.

Initially. there was worry about theprovenance of the materials, but due dili-gence showed them to be authentic. It was

commonplace in the past for MohammedAli to autograph both names, and thesignatures are verifiable. Ciro had thenameplate made himself to affix the board,which reads “Gardens,” not “Garden.”

Those interested in local boxing loremight also contact John Edebohls orgroup historian Mike Silver at “Ring 8”a worthy local group who remember theactual arena and local boxing days andkeeps the flame burning: Ring 8, Veter-ans Boxers Association Inc., Ring 8, c/oWaterfront Crabhouse, 2-03 BordenAve., LIC, NY 11101, 718-729-4862.Ring 8 is non-profit and not only attendsto past boxing glories but seeks to ad-dress the lack of pension or care of retiredfighters. A number of Ring 8 membersattended events at the former arena.

This piece of Sunnyside history willgo into the future “Sunnyside-WoodsideMuseum,” which the Chamber, RebeccaBarker of SunnysideArtists.org and oth-ers are working to make a reality in 2015.Many have come forward with wonderfulphotographs, and relics of the past and thetime has come to put them in one place,sunlight free and temperature controlled,right here so we can all enjoy them. Onehopes that when the rezoning encouragesnew buildings on Queens Boulevard thata “give back” could be a basement room.The Chamber already has vast number ofphotographs that Luke Adams has amassedwhich are stored in the Chamber officeskindly donated by LaGuardia CommunityCollege. Please check out Luke’s “theGood Old Days” onSunnysideChamber.org for a look at someof them. A museum would be a boon foreducation and tourism, and also an idealplace for the immense treasure trove fromthe internationally studied, otherSunnyside Gardens, now land marked resi-dences. Last month a group visited fromHarvard to tour the Gardens and beyond,and Columbia regularly sends its architec-ture students to visit study the area.

The Sunnyside Garden sports arenawas built in 1926 by business tycoon JayGould at 45th and Queens Boulevard, outhere in the “country,” as a men’s clubwith tennis courts for himself and otherrich men of leisure. it morphed into apublic arena in 1945, remaining vibranton and off through the sixties, for boxing,Golden Gloves competitions and wres-tling. The Garden was a small boxingarena (its maximum seating of 2000 isconsidered small) and club whichgroomed stars for Madison Square Gar-den and the big arenas. As televisionbecame more prominent and live atten-dance less popular, despite sporadic“bouts” of success, the arena faded fromuse and was torn down in 1977.

Wendy’s, there now, has committed toworking with Ring 8 to commemorate theproperty history in a meaningful way, anddiscussions are ongoing. The old buildinghad multiple uses over time for dances,proms, flea markets and charity events.John Kennedy held a political rally therein 1960 (for which the chamber is stilllooking for a photo – the Chamber doeshave one of Kennedy on Queens Blvd.,but not from inside the Garden.) eBay isfilled with posters from the wrestling andboxing matches held there, most very rea-sonable, such as this one for $9.00 of twiceWorld Heavyweight boxing championFloyd Patterson looks on as his brother,Raymond, with his back to the camera,competes in a Golden Gloves match.

Taste of SunnysideBy Shannon Carlin

(continued from front page)

ted she’s not big on eating, buttaste testing was a different story.“It brings people out and openstheir mind to the area,” she said.“I would definitely come back.”

As self-proclaimed foodies,Christine Locascio and hermom, Daneed, made the tripfrom Forest Hills and were es-pecially impressed by the largeselection of food each restau-rant provided. “As a vegetarian,I could enjoy different places.They weren’t just serving meat,”said Christine.

With 18 restaurants in atten-dance ranging from the estab-lished, to the new to the fast foodof White Castle, it was definitelyhard to choose where to start.Many just decided to take a littlebit of everything, leading to ravesabout Bantry Bay’s chicken andmushroom dish, the pasta atLenny’s Pizza and the steak atthe Argentine steakhouseFloresta.

Ira Greenberg, President ofthe Sunnyside Chamber, feltthere was one person in particu-lar who deserved the most praisefor the event. “This was a jointventure of Sunnyside Shines/BID and the Chamber, prima-rily due to all the wonderfulrestaurants we have, which arenot located within the BID pa-rameters, but James Bray, Ex-ecutive Director of SunnysideShines, really did the heavy lift-ing on this. It helped unite thecommunity. No one could havedone more. Our Chamber boardmembers Tim Chen of Quaintand Ramiro Mendez of De Mole,

“ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT?”Queen of Angels sent a large con-tingent and were greeted with thefollowing jingle, sung to the tuneof Elvis’s

“Are You LonesomeTonight?”

“Are you wholesome tonight,Do you miss doing right?Are you sorry you drifted sofar?Have you been led astray? Areyou losing your way...Save your soul while you can,and get your conscience clear.Go to mass, boy, and pray, it’sin Spanish ole!Queen of Angels will set you torights.”

worked hard with James, theBID and AG Media Corp. topull this off. But James is theguy to thank.”

For Bray, the night was notonly about boosting local busi-ness, but also about getting toknow your neighbors.

Many like, P.S. 150 crossingguard, Carol Enright, agreed.“I’m busy with two jobs, but thisallows me to check out the areaand say hi to people I haven’tseen in awhile,” she said as shecaught up with her mail carrier.

Local Councilman JimmyVan Bramer and Assembly-woman Cathy Nolan also cameout to celebrate the night, thank-ing the restaurants and those whocame to eat. “Sunnyside wasnamed the third best neighbor-hood in New York, but we knowit’s number one!” said VanBramer to the packed house.

At the end of the night, allthose who attended were givenBID bucks to use at any of therestaurants that participated inthe event. With the success ofthe night setting in, Bray wasalready hinting at next year’s 2nd

Annual Taste of Sunnyside.

White Castle wasserenaded to the tune of

Sweet Charity’s“Hey, Big Spender”

“The minute you walked in,John VogtWe could tell your biz was truth,not fictionAn ideal vendorCrave cookingFor mankindOpen twenty four seven, so I don’tlose my mind!No, White Castle won’t disappointYou don’t need a fork, just try aburger or threeHey! White Castle! Friend atsuppertime for me.”

The unveiling and soundingof the old Sunnyside Garden box-ing bell seemed to live up to thehype (see article), and the rafflegifts were very well received,particularly the dinners fromDazies, Quaint, Bliss Bistro,Sidetracks and DeMole. DebraKonekco who won MartinSnaric’s white peonies waselated, and Isabel Jimenez ofTriad Management said happily,“I won the Billharz showerhead& installation!” which she car-ried home. James Bray’s momscooped up the night hotel stay atCity View Inn as well as thesports tickets, so we need bringher along for our luck on the nextAtlantic City bus sojourn.

At-tendees received one raffle withtheir admission ticket, and noone was allowed to buy morethan seven more, to keep the eventfair in these tough economictimes. Luke Adams said, “It won’tbe fun unless people really havea chance to win.”

Letters To

The EditorThe following letters are the opinionsof its author and not necessarily those

of the Woodside Herald.

When Investing, Don’t Stop at U.S. BorderIn less than two weeks, United

Nations Day will be celebrated. It’san occasion to highlight and reflecton the work of the United Nations,whose mission is to promote under-standing and cooperation among theworld’s countries. Of course, in anera of instantaneous communica-tions and speedy global travel, weare all connected much more closelythan ever before. And that’s cer-tainly true in the financial markets,too, because as an investor, you’vegot a world full of opportunities.

Many people, however, stillthink the U.S. totally dominates theinvestment scene. But the fact is thatU.S. stock markets make up lessthan half of the total global stockmarket value, according to the Cen-sus Bureau. And that should comeas no surprise to you when you con-sider many of the products you useon a daily basis, from the Hyundai(South Korea) you drove to work tothe Nestle Crunch bar (parent com-pany in Switzerland) you snackedon at lunch to the Sony television(Japan) you watch at night.

Not only are many strong com-panies based in the developed coun-tries, but some emerging markets— countries such as China, India,Brazil and Mexico that are charac-terized by younger, less matureeconomies — are growing rapidly,which may produce good invest-

ment opportunities. Keep in mind,though, that emerging markets doinvolve investment risks differentfrom those of more developedcountries. Securities may be lessliquid and more volatile becauseeconomic structures are generallyless diverse and mature.

And by investing internation-ally, you can gain another key ben-efit — improved diversification. Ifyou only invested domestically, anda downturn hits us, your portfoliowill likely take a hit. But, at anygiven time, international marketsmay perform quite differently thanthe U.S. market. Consequently, ifyou expanded your investment ho-rizon beyond U.S. borders, yourforeign investments could be do-ing relatively well, even if yourAmerican investments were lag-ging. Keep in mind, though, thatdiversification, by itself, cannotguarantee profits or protect againstloss, though it may be able to helpreduce the effects of volatility.

While you can gain some ben-efits by investing internationally,you’ll also need to consider therisks, such as political risk. Forexample, new governments cancome in, nationalize companies,drastically change policies or rulesaffecting commerce, or take otheractions that could have a big effecton your investments. You might

also encounter currency risk —that is, changes in the value of theU.S. dollar, relative to foreign cur-rencies, could negatively affect thevalue of your investments. Anotherfactor to consider is the differencein accounting standards betweenthe U.S. and other countries, a dif-ference that can result in difficultyanalyzing the true value and per-formance of foreign investments.

You can enhance yourportfolio’s diversification withoutinvesting a lot abroad. If you areconsidering international invest-ments you may want to limit theforeign exposure to no more than20 to 25 percent of your overallportfolio, with the exact amountdepending on your individual risktolerance, time horizon and long-term goals. Also, given the morecomplex issues involved in inter-national investing, you’ll want toconsult with a professional finan-cial advisor before taking action.

But once you’ve done your“due diligence,” don’t be afraid tolaunch your voyage to the world ofinternational investing. You mightlike what you see on your journey.

Dear Editor,

The Queens Chamber of Com-merce fully supports New YorkCity Council Speaker ChristineQuinn’s decision to oppose the PaidSick Leave bill at this juncture.Her opposition to the bill is evi-dence that she recognizes the nega-tive impact this would have on theemployers who create and retainthe jobs necessary for economicrecovery. Speaker Quinn weighedall sides and did not rush into adecision on a bill that has such asignificant impact on the City’seconomy.

The Queens Chamber wouldalso like to thank the Mayor forrecognizing the struggles of smallbusiness during the greatest reces-sion since the great depression.Earlier this week, Mayor MichaelBloomberg said the bill would bedisastrous for small businesses andvowed to veto it.

This is a significant victory forthe Queens Chamber and our mem-bership. It shows, once again, thatthe Chamber is a force to be reck-oned with as an advocate for legis-lative policy. Our members look tous for leadership and we have againprevailed in protecting our busi-nesses from those who have noidea how difficult it is to operate abusiness in New York City. TheChamber has spent a tremendousamount of time meeting with theSpeaker, the bill’s sponsor andother Council members lettingthem know that this is the wrong

Dear Editor,

As President of Allied Person-nel Services Inc, a small NYC SBSCertified M/WBE, I strongly agreewith New York Council SpeakerChristine Quinn and MayorMichael Bloomberg’s positionagainst legislation requiring allbusinesses to provide paid sickleave for their employees.

I applaud the City CouncilSpeaker for taking action to helpthe weakened economy that hasgreatly affected employers like meacross the country. This bill would

bill, with the wrong approach atthe wrong time. If the Councilwants to move forward, then theyshould reconsider the implicationsof such a bill and instead createlegislation that protects worker’srights and truly deals with the statedintentions of this legislation.

While the Chamber fully rec-ognizes the good intentions of thisbill the reality is there is an unin-tended consequence that wouldultimately hurt the NYC workers itpurports to help. The business com-munity has made it clear we sup-port the right of workers to taketime off for legitimate illness with-out fearing job loss. The bill wouldhave slowed job growth, interferedwith employer-employee relationsand stuck businesses with a sig-nificant cost during the worst eco-nomic period in generations. Hav-ing government micro-manage theway independent businesses arerun flies in the face of everythingthat allows the creativity of entre-preneurship to thrive in this City.

Carol Conslato, PresJack Friedman, Exec. Dir.

have had a negative influence onmy small, independently ownedbusiness by mandating that we pro-vide an expensive benefit that weare not able to afford. Small busi-ness owners? Collective focus is tosurvive and then have the ability togrow our enterprises and thus cre-ate jobs for the unemployed. Anonerous additional expense likethis, at a time when banks are noteven extending credit, would likelyspell the end of many of us includ-ing my twelve-year old business.This statement is not an exaggera-tion as we are in the staffing indus-try. This type of expense cannot bepassed on to our clients. Many ofthem are small struggling busi-nesses themselves.

Will being unemployed be abetter scenario for workers thatcurrently don?t have paid sickdays? The answer is obvious.Thankfully common sense has pre-vailed and I commend speakerQuinn for focusing on the big pic-ture. When the urgent need is jobcreation, piling on additional ex-penses and regulations hurts manymore people than it would help.Businesses must be allowed thefreedom to decide if and when theyprovide such benefits. The paidsick leave legislation would resultin further economic and financialinstability for my business and is astep in the wrong direction for ourcity. Additionally for future simi-lar legislative action, the defini-tions of “small business” shouldnot be based on the number ofemployees but on the annual rev-enue of a corporation. I applaudthe Speaker for her courage andunderstanding of our needs duringthese difficult economic times.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT ESCROWWhen you buy a home, or just make an offer, you will encounter the term “escrow account.” Like

making a friendly bet and asking a third party to hold the wager money, the “escrow agent” is the neutralparty that holds funds in the interest of the mortgage lender and the borrower.

When the terms of the purchase and loan agreements have been met, the money is released. When yourapplication is approved and the loan takes effect, the lender will likely required money for property taxesand homeowner’s insurance also to be held in escrow. These funds are added to your monthly mortgagepayment and disbursed when the tax and insurance bills are due.

This protects the lender by ensuring a lien isn’t placed against your property for non-payment of taxes,and your home (their collateral) is protected against catastrophe. But escrow also benefits borrowers byspreading the large annual payments for taxes and insurance over twelve months.

For example, if your taxes are $1,600 per year and your insurance is $800, you’re budgeting areasonable $200 per month instead of making two big payments. Escrow accounts do not earn interest,so if you make a large enough downpayment, you may be able to avoid the monthly escrow and pay thebills directly. Ask your agent and your lender about the pros and cons.
