Memorial Day Monday brought with it more of the same parades in Howard Beach, Laurelton, Little Neck/Douglaston and Ridgewood/Glendale. The Little Neck/Douglaston march, one of the oldest of its kind in the country, included visits from Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio, among a bevy of other elected officials.
