Description

Rockaway Beach will officially reopen this Memorial Day weekend with restricted access to certain areas as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers shores up the peninsula’s coastline. Meanwhile, Rutgers University President Jonathan Holloway is standing by an agreement to provide more support for Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim students to end pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campus. Finally, Astoria, Queens was once the destination for Greeks moving to the U.S., evident in the many Greek eateries across the neighborhood. But the area has changed significantly. WNYC’s Sean Carlson speaks with chef and food writer Farideh Sadeghin, who visited Astoria to explore its food scene.
