This past Saturday, Oct. 5, a new version of MONOPOLY was unveiled at Queens Center Mall.

Hasbro, a leading toy and game company, partnered with Top Trumps USA, the American division of Winning Moves International, to create MONOPOLY: Queens Edition, a special board game celebrating the borough of Queens. The board features iconic sites, landmarks, and businesses from across the borough.

The official reveal took place at Queens Center Mall, Queens’ premier shopping destination that earned its own spot on the game board. Kelly Cefai, Senior Manager at Queens Center, spoke to QNS about the mall’s impact on the community. “We love bringing the community together and being a place where we can acknowledge, represent, and really celebrate all the different businesses that make Queens what it is. We’ve been here in Queens for 50 years… It’s a true mark of how important we are to the community,” Cefai said.

Op-ed: Time to register, license, and insure motorized two-wheelers before our streets become even more dangerous

When customers are concerned for their safety, they are less likely to visit, which hurts both business owners and the wider local economy. Haphazardly parked two-wheelers frequently block sidewalks and parking spaces in our commercial corridors, making it more difficult for customers to access our local businesses.
