Sometimes I just miss NYC |
|
the food, the accent, the subway ,Rockaway Beach, the streets. the 5th avenue bus, White castle hambutgers, potato Knishes. Any Du'rs fro Queens. I was born and raised in Jackson Heights. I have lived in CA since 67. "you can take the boy out of NY, but you can't take NY out of the boy."

2. I'm in Riverdale but I love Queens..... |
|
It's a different place now, though. Got to be THE most multicultural place on the planet... barring none. Especially Jackson Hgts. My son's Cambodian so I thought for a while that it would be a good place for him to grow up as everyone fits in ( I'm white).
Best part about Queens is proximity to the city but relatively bucolic atmosphere of most neighborhoods.

National Geographic for having the most languages spoken in a single zip code (actually two). Sections are now a historical district and the number 7 line was dedicated as part of the national immigrant trail.

3. New York City rocks my world! |
|
Thankfully, I live just three hours away in Eastern Connecticut, so making the City a day trip is always an option for me.
