This up-to-date, intimate portrait of the 99 neighbourhoods of Queens is a wonderful tribute to the borough's past history and present diversity. Detailing the foundation, past events, people, and cultural activities of each neighbourhood, the book is generously illustrated with more than 200 photographs, both contemporary and historical, and over 50 new maps that chart the precise boundaries. With two airports (La Guardia and JFK), Shea Stadium and Aqueduct Racetrack, Queens is a destination for millions of travellers and visitors each year. But those who live in the borough's neighbourhoods know that it offers much more: parks, colleges and universities, museums, shops, restaurants, and other institutions and sites that testify to its more than 350-year history. From Astoria to Woodside, Queens, the most diverse county in the country, offers a cornucopia of cultures, sights, tastes and sounds. With input from residents, historians, demographers, politicians, borough officials, shopkeepers and many others, "The Neighborhoods of Queens" features practical tips (subway and bus routes, libraries, fire departments, hospitals), quirky and unusual facts, and information on famous residents.
