i've checked that one out and it is indeed pretty interesting. there is an interesting thing as you get out into the further parts of Queens, how it slowly calms down a bit, gets a bit less frantic. it feels more like london actually, that less dense thing going on.check out the one in queens (Jamaica, that is)
it's the best. i know you know this, i'm writing it for the benefit of everyone else. queens in general, i guess until you get to bayside or wherever off the subway system where it gets properly spaced out and suburban, is one of the maddest places on the planet i think. an enormous migrant dormitory that serves the rest of the city.Jamaica, Queens used to be rough, still not gentrified but a lot safer. And still not cool. Queens is a huge borough, and varied, pretty suburban in parts. Distinct pockets like Station Square in Forest Hills, Greek area in Astoria, South Asian in Jackson Heights. Lots of the signage in Flushing is in Korean.
It's almost literally everywhere by this point. There's some bits of the bronx I haven't been to, some of the bits of Queens that are in those endless suburbs, and to be fair most of staten island, and east new york and starret city, probably a few other bits I've forgotten. It's been a bit of a determined project, not happened by accident, but quite satisfying. The rest of town makes more sense when you've spent a bit of time in the further out bits, I've found. It's partly an intellectual project, and partly just something to do to kill time.It's so great that you've explored so many different parts of town. too many young'uns come here and never go outside Williamsburg/greenpoint/bushwick/ridgewood.
