New wine bar in the works for Center Boulevard

Blue streakSept. 13, 2013 By Christian Murray

Blue Streak Wines & Spirits, located at 47-20 Center Blvd, is planning to open a wine bar two doors down.

The owner of the wine & spirits store, Stephen Spiller, has applied for a restaurant wine license to operate the new wine bar. The wine bar, Spiller said, would also offer small plate tapas style food.

The new location, which is also part of the same 47-20 Center Blvd TF Cornerstone building, is 1,500 square feet in size. That space is currently being occupied by TF Cornerstone’s leasing office.

“We are very excited and think it will be a very good location for a wine bar,” Spiller said. He said the wine & spirits store would continue to operate.

Spiller said that Long Island City has been good to him. He opened Blue Streak on Center Blvd six years ago, before Shi opened and Skinny’s Cantina across the street.

“I thought this would be a great neighborhood and all of my expectations have been met.”

Love that location. Reminds me of Sweetleaf a few blocks over. I think someone should do a Center Blvd. bar crawl one day!

Queens gun buyback takes 74 firearms off streets, including ghost guns and assault weapons: DA

Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Monday that 74 firearms were taken off the streets at the Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral of New York in Jamaica during a gun buyback event on Saturday, June 14. The weapons were exchanged for bank cards pre-loaded with cash, with no identification required and no questions asked.

“Gun buybacks serve as a critical tool for reducing gun violence and promoting public safety within our communities,” Katz said. “This Saturday, working with the NYPD and clergy leaders in Jamaica, we received 74 surrendered guns — including five automatic weapons. As a result, these firearms will not be used to cause heartache and tragedy.”
