My home town.
It's interesting that you drove past 63Rd & Queens Boulevard. I pass by that area everyday to take the subway.
Nice ride along queens blvd in queens ny
Wow it has changed. I remember Consumers, Alexander's, tung shing house. Chi Chi's in the Queens Mall. Chess King was my favorite place to shop in the Queens Mall. Ben's deli. Then again I lived in rego park till I moved in '89.
All gone... Bens gone...
0:30 can they put more names on that funeral home, I remember when it was just Schwartz bros... I was there for the wake of the Donal Manes look him up if you don't remember, this guy was a Joker. Also at 0:50 if you look on the right side of the street there is a fire station, 3 doors down from the fire station at 111-16 Queens Blvd, now called Shogun Hibachi Grill, back in the day it was called the Suite club and was owned by Non-other- than Good fellow's Henry Hill, this is where Tommy Desimone Beat Billy Bats with the butt of his gun, over the shoe shine box joke. Also, two doors down was the real Morries wig shop. Great Video by the way ...
Good but two corrections.
(1) it's Thomson Avenue and when you went left on to Thomson Ave. Queens Blvd. does continue by going to the right (over the Sunnyside Railroad yards) to the Queensboro Bridge (lower roadway). No smart New Yorker use the upper roadway roadway which often has massive back ups at either end.
You're going to be surprised though, I managed to catch the upper roadway in all its glory with little traffic.
If you reallllly want an interesting ride, go on the 59th Street - why manhatanites call it the 59th St. Bridge - outside (ex. Trolley) lane/way. It only goes FROM Manhattan to Queens. It can be hard to get to but the view south is basically unobstructed, as you're outside the bridge structure. Point your camera to right - if you can. Also the ride is tricky for a number of risky/tricky reasons.
As always thank you for your videos.

You're bouncing around, aren't you? :-) I hate Queens Blvd - you would think that side road helps but it's still jammed up. I don't remember parts of the ride (but then again - that was late 1990's - early 2k) - I used to occasionally take the "long" shortcut from the LIE/Queens Blvd to the bridge via Queens Blvd because the LIE to Van Dam is backed up. It really is amazing what you pick up when someone else is driving. I should post a video of Rt. 25 by me - completely different.
It sounds like if you're coming from Long Island to the city you don't have many choices. Either that or there's just so many people that every choice is congested 😂
Queens is my hometown but move out a year ago. The speed limit being 25mph you feel like your crawling 😭🤣.
Love your videos but you missed a chunk of it....Queens Blvd actually starts at Jamaica Ave....you skipped the section that runs thru Jamaica/Briarwood
I'll have to check that area out next time in NYC
Para nøs brasileiros esse lugar é um sonho!!!😊
