Week 36

The Loose Ends, Queens

This week is the first of our 'loose ends' walks, where we identify neighborhoods on the walk we either barely hit or missed entirely. It's also the last walk we'll be taking exclusively in Queens. We set out for the Northeast tip of the borough to visit Little Neck and Little Neck Bay. Then we'll drop all the way south to hit the neighborhoods we missed the last time we were around JFK: Brookville, Springfield Gardens and Rochdale. We'll end at Jamaica to take the J train home.

Neighborhoods Ridgewood, Glendale, Forest Hills, Kew Gardens Hills, Pomonok, Auburndale, Bayside, Little Neck, Douglaston, Queens Village, Laurelton, Brookville, Springfield Gardens, Rochedale, South Jamaica, Jamaica

The Two Racetracks

Horse Racing, also known as The Sport of Kings, has roots in NYC dating back to 1665. This week we'll do a loop visiting both Aqueduct Racetrack in Ozone Park and Belmont Racetrack on the Queens/Nassau border, home of the final leg of the Triple Crown. Turning the corner, we'll get a chance to explore the parks and residential neighborhoods surrounding JFK International Airport.

Neighborhoods Ocean Hill, Cypress Hills, Ozone Park, Lindenwood, Wakefield, Springfield Gardens, Brookville, Rosedale, Laurelton, Cambria Heights, Queens Village, Hollis, Jamaica, Kew Gardens, Richmond Hill, Glendale, Liberty Park
