5 Things

Good morning, Douglaston.

The weekend is almost upon us. Remember, the neighborhood's green market debuts this Sunday. Click here for more information and stop back by the site later in the weekend for our coverage.

This morning, drop by the site for Carol Brock's latest Notes from a Food Diva column. This one includes recipes.

Take a look at our new Day Tripper feature. Every week, we will profile a community in the five boroughs, providing a day's schedule full of cultural institutions to visit and restaurants at which to dine.

At noon, check out Douglaston Patch's weekly Sold! column to view homes recently purchased in your community.
