It was a brutal week across Queens as our tops stories include elderly people being beat up by robbers on a Ridgewood train and a famous diner in Maspeth, a son who murdered his mother and dumped her body in a lake, and a Flushing doctor who was charged with manslaughter after a botched abortion killed his patient.

But it wasn’t all bad in the “World’s Borough,” as Glendale hosted the Dine In Queens kickoff event, and we featured a Korean BBQ joint that  is making some changes to traditional Korean food.
