Five New Features You Need to See Today

Douglaston Patch Launches Guides for Weekend Fun, House Hunting

Good morning, Douglaston. I hope everyone navigated safely through yesterday's treacherous, icy weather.

Today, Douglaston Patch will kick off a series of five new features that will post on the site at the same time every Thursday.

And, next Wednesday, we'll launch Raising Queens, which will focus on local parents. We're still looking for parents from the community to take part in a council that will help answer questions raised by their friends and neighbors.

2. At noon, we'll post House Hunt, which is a photo gallery of nearby homes for sale.

3. Then, we'll put up Viewfinder, at 1 p.m. This is a weekly gallery of photos from around the community. Not surprisingly, this week's is snow-themed.

4. At 3 p.m., we'll post Patch Picks, which will also have a weekly theme. Today's list will focus on places in the neighborhood to watch this Sunday's Super Bowl game.

5. Finally, at 5 p.m., we'll put up Bites Nearby, a feature that will include information about one restaurant in Douglaston per week. The story will include comments from the eatery's owner, prices, some menu items and hours of operation.
