So I been in Queens, NY for a month now...[Random Observations]

[DaPresident]

Lived in Jamaica for 6 years enjoyed it thoroughly


But I'll ALWAYS say...NYC is great to visit, horrible to live...learned it the hard way...I still love the city and all my peoples up there. Will be up there possibly for new years

What is the dividing line from QU and BK?
before i moved here, i swore they was separated by water like the other boros

 

[GetInTheTruck]

depends on what side famo

Northern state yeah

Southern state nah

Na it's still definitely different. All of long island looks similar to the rest of the country. The boroughs exist in their own lane, nothing like it.

Everytime I'm in Toronto for example I feel like I'm in a fake ass long island.

Freeport is the Long Island Washington Heights

Greenpoint

You can take the BQE and cross the Kosciuszko or theres a way to get into BK via Northern Bvld and drive up through Greenpoint

No dividing line. Starts at Newton Creek on the west but from there

depends on what part though breh...it's not a terrible drop off like say going to fukkn Oyster Bay

like @GinaThatAintNoDamnPuppy! already said, #exit13 is pretty much lil queens....I mean the only thing that separates us is a cross island overpass or a sunrise highway intersection.

further out in LI in hempstead and uniondale them cats really really do get it in

but I mean if you're talking in terms of having that 24/7, hustle and bustle metro center type atmosphere, then yeah I agree for the most part

Past Greenpoint or beyond Bushwhick. Then again there is no clear dividing line.

South Westchester is up there but it still feels hood. Its kinda like the outer boroughs, but with more hills. Y.O. is right up by North Bronx, which is why Jada's swag is WILD NY Italian.

 

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

OP when you get a chance cross the queens / Nassau border and observe how everything literally changes in an instant...the swag, the atmosphere, the look, the people...everything. It will bug you out.

Depends..i was in queens village for a little while which has grimy parts the area next to it I think bellerose is the last area in queens which is a working class cac area then you hit Long Island and it's a different world rich kids playing lacrosse it looks like middle America

But areas like rosedale you right by green acres and areas like elmont that could pass for any queens area

 

[Knicksman20]

@Kliq_Souf Have you been to a Kennedy Fried Chicken yet? I don't know if they're in Queens because I'm from Brooklyn

Depends where you are..if you near the end of queens you can be right next to Li..and if you in the Bronx Yonkers ain't that far away

Naw Im working at LGA. Reason I want to move farther north. Takes about an hour commute on transit from Jamaica.

East Elmhurst would be a good look since you work at LGA. Take a look at East Harlem and "regular" Harlem too since the M60 bus takes you right to LGA. But you'll prolly spend more for a crib in "regular" Harlem since its CAC'd the fukk out now. Whats your budget for an apt?
