"Queens- the outer borough" Queens by liqdstar

Queens Travel Guide: 110 reviews and 231 photos

most people tend to forget that NYC is really made of 5 boroughs, and its not just manhattan.
its the outer boroughs combined with manhattan that really make NY what it is.

Queens is probably the most ethnically diverse borough. You've got greek astoria, asian flushing (and main street is really rivaling chinatown), south asian jackson heights, south american corona, etc.

Pros and Cons

Pros:diversity, cheaper than manhattan
Cons:well, ill be honest- it does pale in comparison to manhattan

Nice pic i really like what you have done with this scene shot. Nicely framed indeed. I know this place my question is how the hell did you manage to stand on the middle of the busy intersection without getting hit?
