The Superior Local | One Year of The Superior Local: Let’s Keep Exploring
One Year In.. And We’re Just Getting Started
Events from January 16-18, 2026 around Queens, Brooklyn, and Long Island
Can you believe it’s been one full year since the very first issue of The Superior Local?!
If you’re newer here, let us (re)introduce ourselves.
We’re Nora & Saundra — a mother/daughter real estate team who love helping our clients buy and sell homes across Queens, Brooklyn, and Long Island. And when we’re not doing that… our other passion is having FUN.
We love New York — the culture, the creativity, the endless things to do — and we truly believe that part of loving where you live is actually experiencing it. That’s why this newsletter exists: to share what’s at your fingertips every weekend.
Come along with us as we take advantage of everything our area has to offer.
Feel free to forward this newsletter to anyone who shares our love of exploring, or message us if there’s something you think we have to feature. Want to join us on one of these adventures? Say the word — we’ll make it happen.
Now… here’s this week’s good stuff.
