"Most visitors to New York never make it past Manhattan. And that's exactly why they miss one of the city's most surprising boroughs. Queens isn't just "the airport borough." It's skyline parks without the crowds, museums people actually explore, neighborhoods that feel authentic rather than staged, and some of the most diverse food in the country. If you're planning a trip to NYC, this local guide to Queens shows you what to see, where to eat, where to stay, and the spots most visitors overlook."
"Named after the Queen of England, Catherine of Braganza - from Portugal - Queens originally consisted of only five towns and a lot of farming land. Today, Queens is one of the most ethnically diverse urban areas in the world. Nearly half of its residents were born outside the United States, which is why the food scene here is considered one of the best in the country. Over the centuries, Queens grew in population and officially became a part of New York City in 1898."
"Today, Queens is the second most populated county in New York State ( Brooklyn being number one), with about 48% of residents being foreign-born. You know what that means? Food. Lots and lots of good food. But, before I tell you about all the outstanding places to eat in Queens, let me give you a chance to work up an appetite. It's time for Queens sightseeing!"
