hell no! what the hell is in Queens?? Only tourists going to queens are the ones landing at LGA and JFK. Until you understand that weird address system you'll be hopelessly lost trying to find a bldg, when the address dont seem to go in order. Also, if the street numbers are going up are you headed, north? south? east/west?? What about Aves, Rd, Place, and so on. The miles you can go before reaching a subway station. Queens is too confusing and suburban like to bring in any tourists. Queens residents are gonna be upset but oh well. I wouldnt mind the detached houses and fronts lawns though.

That list doesn't inspire me to want to go to Queens. I'd sooner go to the Bronx for the Bronx Zoo. I don't think you need to worry about tourists flooding Queens. I've visited friends there in years past. If I never see that ridiculous street numbering system again, I can die happy. "Hey, meet me at 58th and 72nd." Hmm, is that 58th Street and 72nd Avenue? 72nd Road? 72nd Street? 58th Avenue? Tourists would be so lost they'd never find their way out. For me, the only thing worth visiting Queens for is the faded glory that is Flushing Meadows. Long live the Unisphere!

If anybody is venturing out to Jackson Heights, a couple of yummy places are Roti Boti and Kebab King. Oh man, I'm so hungry.
