Queens couldn't be a better representation of the New York state of mind! It is the melting pot of every possible culture and people. The neighborhoods are lined with inspirational people who built themselves to become first generation businessmen and women, educators, health professionals, home and care takers. This city has raised people with great compassion and understanding for the small details and cultural awareness that NY is known for!
Queens, NY is a great borough! There is a plethora of different cuisines as well as a variety of fast food restaurants. Other than the food, the crime rates are not too high in certain neighborhoods. There are also nice beaches, museums, zoos, botanical gardens, recreation centers, art centers, monuments, night markets etc. These places can be a walking distance or you can take a bus or the subway!
I lived in Queens all of my life. It is one of the most diverse counties in the world. You can find all types of cultures and food here. If you are craving a specific type of cuisine, go to Queens! You will find multiple restaurants to satisfy your craving. There are many neighborhoods that are great for brunch and nightlife. Oh and I can't the beautiful parks located here. There are many underrated waterfront parks that overlook the New York City skyline, so beautiful it can make anyone fall in love all over again with NYC. If I could change one thing about Queens, it might have to be the litter. I think there should be more enforcement when it comes to this as it isn't healthy for the environment.
