Queens Walk!

Posted Monday, Oct 20th, 2014 at 6:07am

Well I've walked 14-mile-long (approx) photo walks in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. It was time for Queens. Thanks to Nicholas Cummins I had a route to take me through some of the most diverse neighborhoods.

Wikipedia tells me that the first settlements in Queens were estabilshed in 1635 and that it now has 2.2 million residents, almost half of which are foreign born. 138 languages are spoken in Queens!

    Just wonderful- you capture the spirit of neighborhoods so beautifully. Always a pleasure to look through these. I feel as if I'm walking beside you.

    You are so talented, Sara! These photos should be part of a book. It would especially sell, like wild fire, to anybody who has spent time in New York.
