I'm 49 years old. When I was a kid my Mom would say we're going to Rego Park or Rego Park Mall. Even though we lived 5 - 10 minutes away from Green Acres Mall, we came here alot. I loved it as a kid from about age 5 to 12. And even in my twenties, on my own. My Mom would have us walk over to Alexander's and get White Castles in later years as we pass it. I'm so proud to have been a born and raised Queens resident. 😉

I lived on 92st. in the 1950s not far from the Newtown High School Athletic field. Fairyland was not very big, I did go there in the 50's. There was a White Castle hamburger place there, they sold tiny square hamburgers, at 10 cents each, what a bargain!! They were delicious, 10 for a dollar.

Sbarro's' has been in this mall's food court since the 80's, it's not new at all.. I grew up 2 blocks down from this mall and lived in the area for almost half of my adult life. Also, there's no gourmet place in the mall but if you are familiar with the area, people cook their food and there are so many restaurants, and diverse ethnic communities in and around the area historically. - food has to be really special/good to be gourmet and have people pay for it consistently. Also, you can't just put up any kind of food establishment and expect it to do well in the area... Joe's Crab shack went up and closed down right across from the mall within the same year. Local folks not gonna buy or eat just anything with so much competition, local food and folks making their own food. The mall has gone through so many changes - I remember when there was a parking lot across from it on the side of the subway and the entire JC penny and the school next to it was a parking lot. Like many locals I used that parking lot as a thoroughfare to/from my house and the Wooodhaven subway.station. i'm old enough to remember when there was and A&S in the mall and also a bookstore across the street from the mall behind the subway station. The mall used to have a VIM, Wild Pair, and Hello Kitty Store.. It has certainly improved and is always busy. It's so interesting that this popped up on my home page but it was nostalgia.

This was my home mall, I lived not too far up in Flushing in Pomonok Houses. My mom used to work at the Macy’s in the jewelry department from 1995-1998. I was always going there with her , she’d take me to the KB and Funcoland just around the corner to get games and toys. It’s changed a lot since the renovation back in 2006. It’s always a pleasure taking a trip in QCM. Models is gone of course , and the Macy’s is still pretty much designed the same.

When the mall opened in the mid 70s there was a restaurant on the 3rd (top) floor. I believe it was Cookies Steak House & was a full service restaurant. There were no stores up there. & when that 1 went out of business another steak house took over. Finally mall operators thought having stores up there instead of a restaurant would be more profitable for them so no more restaurant. I was there just recently in late spring/ early summer & the food court wasn't blocked off like that. The sushi place in between the escalators has been there at least 4 years as well as shake shack

Queens Center may or may not be the most profitable per square foot. It depends on whether outdoor malls are included in the computation and probably some bookkeeping variations. What's significant here is that it's a big, old, very successful mall in a nation where malls aren't doing so well. It's size and that it's 4 p.m. on a weekday account for patron density appearing light to some commenters.

I literally grew up in this mall. Lived in Woodside in the 70's and Flushing in the first half of the 80's. GREAT times - I remember playing the video game displays in this mall back in the 80's. Why is this mall doing so well whereas others are STRUGGLING?? Look at the surrounding neighborhood(s) - lots of high rise and medium rise apartment buildings - not to mention the HUGE complexes of Lefrak City & Park City. Combine that with 3 MAJOR roads - Queens Blvd, Woodhaven Blvd, and the Long Island Expressway, and a major subway line, not to mention lots of pedestrian traffic. The socioeconomic status of the surrounding areas helps too - Corona & Lefrak City are mostly working class and very ethnic, Elmhurst is very ethnic but more middle class, Forest Hills is one of the wealthiest parts of Queens , and finally Rego Park which is a more middle class version of Forest Hills. All about location on this one..

Exactly, right I grew up down 57th Ave / Junction [LeFrak City] The mall has the most foot traffic than any other US mall. My father told me this years ago but it makes sense also b/c so many used it as a thoroughfare and you never had to leave the area to go to a mall - the area is demographically dense as well in terms of numbers.

Don't forget lack of competition. The only thing close to this size mall in Queens is the Skyview in Flushing. Less convenient and no large anchors unless you count Target. Queens has over 2 million people and only one real mall at a great location as you said.

Yes I remember Alexander's which now has a luxury apartment building bearing the same name. I also remember when Macy's was in that cool looking round Roman style building back in the 70s and 80s..

17:48 I think that's Shea Stadium, actually. That was the main baseball stadium in Queens before it was torn down and Citifield took its place.

AK , I noticed something about your channel as opposed to lets say the channels of Walk . Ride , Fly or TomD . You seem to have apparently more viewers who were NYC natives who moved elsewhere . Have you reached to find out how many of your viewers are former NYC residents ? These others seem to get people who are prospective tourists/visitors .

Honestly, you need a small sign that say's "Im not recording you" or "ONLY recording the environment, not YOU" or "documenting travels, NOT YOU" because all the looks people are giving you in this vid makes me yell at my computer "HE'S NOT RECORDING YOU!! KEEP IT MOVING!!" lol

I lived in Queens until 1976. I vaguely remember visiting this mall. Is this the mall at the end of Northern Blvd? Nice to reminisce though.

The food court selections are pretty exciting for a "non-ethnic" mall. Chick-Fil-A and Shake Shack, not bad. Chick-Fil-A is rare in NYC, this would only be one of three in the city, based on Google.

Dude, rotisserie chicken takes at least an hour to cook, so it's hardly fast food. (I wouldn't call sushi or the Noodle House fast food either. )

I remember back in the early to mid 90's there was a renovation done before the expansion. I still remember the scaffolding and the new paint job afterwards. As a kid the food court bomb with Sbarro's being the most popular. I can also remember the tobacco shop that existed on the main level...loved that place.
