STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- It’s once again time to get maxed out.No, I’m not referring to credit card limits — but rather the onslaught of entertainment gifts this season delivers.
Facing record-setting double-digit unemployment, New Yorkers can surely use all of the good tidings they can get.
Feeling spiritual? Catch the nativity scene at Salem Evangelical Free Church or light a candle with the Kwanzaa Lady. Craving tradition? Belt out carols at the Staten Island Zoo. Need gifts with a personal touch? Hit up the Friends of Fire art sale. A sucker for mistletoe? Check out the diverse holiday parties at Martini Red, QSINY or Lorenzo’s.
And this is just the beginning: Keep reading AWE in the coming weeks for more reasons not to let the economy turn you into a Scrooge. Did we missed something? Let me know at bailey@siadvance.com .
