The reason why Queens uses their neighborhoods name on their postal addresses instead of "Queens, NY" is because before 1898 all the neighborhoods that now make up the Borough of Queens used to be it's own Cities and Towns or part of Cities and Towns. Long Island City was actually a "City", Flushing, Queens was "The Town of Flushing", Jamaica, Queens was "The Town of Jamaica". Just like the Borough of Brooklyn used to be "The City of Brooklyn" before 1898, which is why Brooklynites still put "Brooklyn, NY" on their postal addresses.

[@KeninBoulder]

Hi again, hey, where did you get that pronunciation of Borough? I grew up pronouncing it as if it rhythmed with Thorough. But you pronounce it as if it rhymes with Borrow or tomorrow.

Great video. I'm from the Bronx but I've worked and shopped in Astoria. Also, Astoria-Ditmars Blvd. is a fun place to hang out. I also love to hang out in Long Island City. Both areas are fantastic and are definitely up-and-coming. New York City is the best city in the world. We have so much to offer. Each borough has something great to experience. 👍

The part of Queens I visited and was in a relationship with someone from Guyana at the time (me visiting from California) was mostly people of Guyana, Trinidad/Tobago or similar on the A Line subway where the person lived!! I visited NY a few times too😀😀

Try being raised in the Rockaways, witch the rest of Queens will not acknowledge. Iloved the video.

Jealousy cause we got it so good being so close to the ocean air it marvelous and doesn’t feel like you’re cooped up in the city. We have the benefit of being in open spaces but still close enough to see the sights people pay big bucks to see.

There are three great suspension bridges in Queens: the Triborough/Robert Kennedy; the Bronx Whitestone and the Throgs Neck Bridge not to mention the Unisphere, the largest globe in the world!

Grew up in Ridgewood Queens and am proud… I am first generation … it’s diverse and it’s where my whole family settled after coming over from Italy. Real feel of community and so much to see and do

#5 , simplified... (A) The hyphen functions as a decimal point. (B) Queens neighborhoods have their own postal identities because they were once independent villages, except for Auburndale. I'll add #11... Queens used to be a lot bigger. The eastern 2/3 of Queens seceded in 1898 to avoid joining the merged NYC (it's now called Nassau County).

Bayside, Queens, my home town, was the home of the first movie studios and was supposed to be “Hollywood”, but they decided the winters weren’t suitable for year round filming and moved it to Cali. Bayside and Little neck also sit on Little Neck Bay, a gorgeous area where you can walk, bike, picnic and take your boat from here, to Manhattan or to the Hamptons, or anywhere else you’d love to go (not that I have a boat). Also home to Fort Totten, a Civil War era fort that still houses military personnel and is incredibly cool to see, especially the cannon ball dents scattered throughout the fort. They didn’t mention Jamaica, an amazing place that you can shop til you drop and not break the bank, get top notch tattoos and find fantastic flavors of food til you bust. It is diverse, it’s what makes Queens the best place to live. It’s rich in cultures and so you can find every kind of performing art imaginable to show off the worlds best in music, drama, dance, martial arts. Not to mention the Queens Botanical Gardens in Flushing, an incredibly beautiful place amid a bustling city, easy to get lost for a day there. The down side....try affording the houses and rents. Queens is fast becoming a place where once the older generations sell their homes, you can expect to pay anywhere from 700,000 to 1 million and more for a house, and I’m not talking about a mansion or one with a giant yard. Rents are astronomical, especially close to the Long Island Railroad stops because of the ease of getting into Manhattan, Currently, in my area encompassing a 15 mile radius, you can expect to pay anywhere from 2,000 to $2,500 a month for a 2 bedroom apartment, 3 if you hit the jackpot. It’s definitely a great place to live and to visit. This video barely did it justice.

I spent the first five years of my life in Woodside. I was born in Astoria, in the same hospital as Christopher Walken. My parents and grandparents used to shop at Walken's Bakery.
