The Queens Nobody Knows: An Urban Walking Guide by William B. Helmreich
Requirements: .PDF reader, 160 MB
Overview: The only neighborhood-by-neighborhood guide to New York City’s largest borough, from the award-winning author of The New York Nobody Knows
Bill Helmreich walked every block of New York City―some six-thousand miles―to write the award-winning The New York Nobody Knows. Later, he re-walked most of Queens―1,012 miles in all―to create this one-of-a-kind walking guide to the city’s largest borough, from hauntingly beautiful parks to hidden parts of Flushing’s Chinese community. Drawing on hundreds of conversations he had with residents during his block-by-block journey through this fascinating, diverse, and underexplored borough, Helmreich highlights hundreds of facts and points of interest that you won’t find in any other guide.
In Bellerose, you’ll explore a museum filled with soul-searing artwork created by people with mental illness. In Douglaston, you’ll gaze up in awe at the city’s tallest tree. In Corona, you’ll discover the former synagogue where Madonna lived when she first came to New York. In St. Albans, you’ll see the former homes of jazz greats, including Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday. In Woodhaven, you’ll walk a block where recent immigrants from Mexico, Guyana, and China all proudly fly the American flag. And much, much more.
