About the Cities
Arriving in Queens, NY
Full guide →Founded 1683
Queens is a crescent-shaped (with a tail) borough traversing the north-to-south width of Long Island and including two of the major New York City area airports, LaGuardia (LGA IATA) and John F. Kennedy International (JFK IATA). It also carries the largest ethnic diversity in its area of any region in the world, with many small enclaves. Jackson Heights, for example, includes a huge Indian area, followed by a Colombian area, and then a Mexican area. Each offers a wide array of authentic shops, native-style cuisine, and festivals modified only slightly by the generally colder New York City experience.

Drive Character

Your journey relies on a sequence of local roads, specifically utilizing Springfield Boulevard, Jamaica Avenue, and 150th Street to reach your destination.

The path stays urban throughout, requiring frequent adjustments as you weave through the local street network.
This route has more turning and local-road decision points than a simple highway run.
