The Local Wit Spreads Queens Love + The Biggest NYC Real Estate Lie + More

We’ve shown The Bronx and Queens some love on the blog lately, because it seems that Brooklyn and Manhattan are stealing the spotlight. (We didn’t forget about you, Staten Island!) So when I saw these  T-shirts from The Local Wit, I thought they were very cool. One would make an awesome holiday gift for someone who lives in or loves Queens.

The couple who began this lifestyle brand has a sweet, sweet story worth a read.  Annie and Richard love their borough and want to share that love. They also designed a Queens holiday card. Notice the 7 train. 🙂

Head over to the website to see all the styles. Have a little Queens lover in your life? They designed onesies too.

Hurry –– you’ll have to place holiday orders by December 12 to get delivery from The Local Wit by December 25.  Keep spreading that #QueensLove.
