"Queens Comfort, a beloved neighborhood restaurant known for its inventive brunch classics and comfort foods, is set to close its doors this weekend after more than nine years. The restaurant faced financial strain due to limited outdoor seating and the challenges of operating during the pandemic. Owner Donald D’Alessio announced the closure on Instagram, and the last day of service will be Sunday, October 11. Despite the closure, there are plans to reopen in Astoria when conditions improve." - Luke Fortney
