Queens girl here, born and raised 🙌🏻 ... honestly we have so many beautiful and safe neighborhoods here, great place to raise your kids 😉

[TheCerebralDude]

I can honestly say I have been to every neighborhood in Queens multiple times because not only was I born and raised in Queens, but I was a NYC taxi driver for 22 years

[nerevar]

My family moved from Colombia to Queens, after college I plan on moving back! Love the diversity and working class life style, Queens is the best representation of what hard working New Yorkers are supposed to be like

[toheebadeshina]

Honestly Queens NY is the most beautiful borough, with lotta history

[LuiNum]

Queens is also the first Burough that stood up for N.Y when the West coast rappers started beefing with us 😎 So don’t sleep on Queens

[lovejones]

Its about time!!! Born raised and have family throughout Queens. Always knew the gem in Queens. Now people know it too. So much that its changing A LOT

[josesalas]

How you did not say Jamaica. YOU CANT BE FROM QUEENS IF YOU FORGET JAMAICA

[teachershawnee]

I’m from Texas and watching things about NY just blow my mind! Like another country!

[aarionmickles]

Sesame Street, The Cosby Show, etc.. was all shot in a studio in Queens.
P.S. You forgot about Far Rockaway!

For everyone talking about her accent, that’s what diversity is people. Many Queens natives have accents because they come from immigrant families and such. Duh!

[osgabriel]

Interesting info about NYC thanks for sharing

[GrowlyBear]

I'm born in Manhattan, grew up in Queens. But I have a Bronx attitude, go figure! Hey I'm walkin' here, I'm talkin' here, fuggedaboudit. Went to grade school at P.S. 152 in Woodside, and Gwendoline N. Alleyne was the principal while I attended that school. Now the place is named after her. My brush with greatness. Also, Paul Simon was in the hospital while my older sister was a volunteer (candy striper). She invited him home for dinner, and he played "Mrs Robinson" on my guitar before it was a hit record.

Malcolm X and Louis Armstrong both lived in Queens.

[WABBNMedia]

Nasir Jones, aka Nas, one of the best emcees of all time is from Queens.

[carlosss]

Home to coming to America!😂. Movie lovers u get ma point.

[discodumpling]

Queens is amazing! The unmatched diversity, culture and cuisine is the draw!

[rubix]

Don’t forget about Mobb Deep and Nas




Queens get the money

[willbergie]

Edith and Archie Bunker from "All in the Family" lived in Queens.

I’ve been to Queens many years ago. Flushing to be exact. Was only there for a very short time. I want to visit again as well as all of New York City. I love your channel.
