Forest Hills, Queens


We began our journey by venturing down Austin Street, the main commercial street on which the Forest Hillians thrive. There are a series of shops and restaurants that attract a good percentage of the surrounding neighborhood as well as visitors. We noticed Brandon Cinemas, which was showing Furry Vengeance and The Backup Plan, but not Iron Man 2, which had come out that very day.







In Forest Hills, a great percentage of the population is Jewish. With that, I give you Greg:


Rabbi Ben Zion Bokser Square

We then proceeded to go down Queens Boulevard to get knishes for lunch from Knish Nosh.
We tried to find Peter Parker's house in Forest Hills, but ended up finding some house owned by some lady who asked us what we were doing outside of her house with a video camera. We left.
Afterward, we walked down 71st Avenue, the main road that goes through all of Forest Hills, connecting the nearby private streets. We saw the upper middle class housing and listened to Greg talk for about 10 minutes.
We returned to Austin Street and entered a local eatery, Martha's Country Bakery.

A good time was had by all.
Good night and good luck. Stay classy, New York City.
