    I will explain how to extend the stringy derivation of N=2 AdS4/CFT3 dualities to cases where the M-theory circle degenerates at complex codimension two submanifolds of a toric conical CY4. The type IIA backgrounds include D6-branes, and the dual N=2 quiver gauge theories contain `chiral flavors'. I will then present a recipe for computing the geometric moduli space of flavored versions of any 3d N=2 Abelian toric quiver gauge theories: the outcome is the CY4 cone underlying the stringy derivation of the field theory. The result relies on a conjectured quantum holomorphic relation between diagonal monopole operators and bifundamental fields. I will mention new field theory duals to several geometries.
