The Superior Local | A Wonderful Winter Weekend
A Wonderful Winter Weekend (Snow or No Snow!)
Events from January 29-February 1, 2026 around Queens, Brooklyn, and Long Island
Who’s afraid of a little snow? Not us!
Despite last week’s storm, we’re ready to tackle a brand-new week — and a brand-new month.
With NYC Restaurant Week and Long Island Restaurant Week still going strong, there’s no shortage of great dining deals out there. And beyond the table, there’s plenty happening across Queens, Brooklyn, and Long Island to keep winter weekends feeling fun and full.
As always, feel free to send us your recommendations, share what you’ve been up to, and let us know what you’d love to see more of in The Superior Local. We love hearing from you
