5 Things

Good morning, Douglaston.

The tenth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks is upon us. This weekend, we will post a preview of state Sen. Tony Avella's annual motorcade to honor victims from northeast Queens.

If you have any 9/11 stories you'd like to share, please email the editor at nathan.duke@patch.com.

This morning, we will post our weekly Day Tripper column, which profiles one of the city's neighborhoods and includes tips for restaurants and activities. This week, our pick is Williamsburg.

Also, keep an eye out for a preview of this fall's slate of movies. Patch will give you the rundown on 50 new films that will be released between September and New Year's Eve.

Here are 5 Things You Need to Know Today:

1. Drop by the site at 10:30 a.m. for Day Tripper.

2. Later today, stop back by and read our fall movie preview.

3. At 10 a.m., we will post Get Out: Weekend Planner, which includes a list of events taking place in the community this weekend. Then, stop by at noon for House Hunt.

4. If you're an artist and you'd like to take part in this year's Douglaston Village Arts Festival, then be sure to visit the site Friday morning for information on how to get involved.

5. This afternoon, grab your mountain bike and stop by Cunningham Park for a Dirty Thursdays ride.
