| Zusammenfassung: | The only neighborhood-by-neighborhood guide to New York City's largest borough, from the award-winning author of The New York Nobody KnowsBill Helmreich walked every block of New York City—some six-thousand miles—to write the award-winning The New York Nobody Knows. Later, he re-walked most of Queens—1,012 miles in all—to create this one-of-a-kind walking guide to the city's largest borough, from hauntingly beautiful parks to hidden parts of Flushing's Chinese community. Drawing on hundreds of conversations he had with residents during his block-by-block journey through this fascinating, diverse, and underexplored borough, Helmreich highlights hundreds of facts and points of interest that you won't find in any other guide.In Bellerose, you'll explore a museum filled with soul-searing artwork created by people with mental illness. In Douglaston, you'll gaze up in awe at the city's tallest tree. In Corona, you'll discover the former synagogue where Madonna lived when she first came to New York. In St. Albans, you'll see the former homes of jazz greats, including Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday. In Woodhaven, you'll walk a block where recent immigrants from Mexico, Guyana, and China all proudly fly the American flag. And much, much more.An unforgettably vivid chronicle of today's Queens, the book can be enjoyed without ever leaving home—but it's almost guaranteed to inspire you to get out and explore this captivating borough.Covers every one of Queen's neighborhoods, providing a colorful portrait of their most interesting, unusual, and unfamiliar people, places, and thingsEach neighborhood section features a brief overview and history; a detailed, user-friendly map keyed to the text; photographs; and a lively guided walking tourDraws on the author's 1,012-mile walk through every Queens neighborhood Includes insights from conversations with hundreds of residents |

Helmreich Princeton ; Oxford Princeton University Press [2020] © 2020 1 Online-Ressource (xix, 467 Seiten) Illustrationen, Karten txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier The only neighborhood-by-neighborhood guide to New York City's largest borough, from the award-winning author of The New York Nobody KnowsBill Helmreich walked every block of New York City—some six-thousand miles—to write the award-winning The New York Nobody Knows. Later, he re-walked most of Queens—1,012 miles in all—to create this one-of-a-kind walking guide to the city's largest borough, from hauntingly beautiful parks to hidden parts of Flushing's Chinese community. Drawing on hundreds of conversations he had with residents during his block-by-block journey through this fascinating, diverse, and underexplored borough, Helmreich highlights hundreds of facts and points of interest that you won't find in any other guide.In Bellerose, you'll explore a museum filled with soul-searing artwork created by people with mental illness. In Douglaston, you'll gaze up in awe at the city's tallest tree. In Corona, you'll discover the former synagogue where Madonna lived when she first came to New York. In St. Albans, you'll see the former homes of jazz greats, including Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday. In Woodhaven, you'll walk a block where recent immigrants from Mexico, Guyana, and China all proudly fly the American flag. And much, much more.An unforgettably vivid chronicle of today's Queens, the book can be enjoyed without ever leaving home—but it's almost guaranteed to inspire you to get out and explore this captivating borough.Covers every one of Queen's neighborhoods, providing a colorful portrait of their most interesting, unusual, and unfamiliar people, places, and thingsEach neighborhood section features a brief overview and history; a detailed, user-friendly map keyed to the text; photographs; and a lively guided walking tourDraws on the author's 1,012-mile walk through every Queens neighborhood Includes insights from conversations with hundreds of residents Louis Armstrong House Museum New York City New York Queens getting around guide history homes of jazz musicians neighborhoods sightseeing things to do in Queens things to see in Queens tour tourist travel visitors walking walks in Queens what to do in Queens Travel / United States / Northeast / Middle Atlantic (NJ, NY, PA) bisacsh Community life New York (State) New York Neighborhoods New York (State) New York Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-0-691-16688-9 https://doi.org/10.1515/9780691200026 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
