I take a walk in the neighborhood of Forest Hills, Queens. It has been many months since I last visited, and I've noticed several changes. A new pizzeria opened up, Five Below is in town now, and several businesses underwent renovations.

That Five Below building was a great movie theater. Opened in the 1930s and was a great place to watch a movie. Saw “Stand by Me” there in 86

@ActionKid Год назад

Very cool!

@Involved1 Год назад

It was the Forest Hills movie theater and, just around the block, on Queens Blvd. was the Midway theater. They flourished before color TV’s and then, of course, before the Internet.

@hansonel Год назад

My old neighborhood, the first one I lived in when I moved to NYC actually a little more than 10 years ago now. Forest Hills & Kew Gardens is one of the best residential neighborhoods in the outer boroughs with a good mix of urban and suburban (south of Austin Street). There's some really nice big homes in Forest Hills Gardens on par with the mansions in Fieldston in the Bronx btw.

@reubensane5539 Год назад

Queens is one of the most culturally diverse places in the world. It’s Amazing. I was born in the Bronx but grew up in Queens,I wouldn’t of traded that for any other place in the world .

Not really! It used to be :( crime and drugs Surprisingly is going up ..and yes so is every neighborhood in the world ...but when I was growing up and even as I was going to h.s I remember forest hills was super exclusive lmao like the Beverly hills of queens

I lived there in the early 80's. Virtually every store is different.

@auroratorres7873 Год назад

My husband, daughter and I walked all those Forest Hills streets and neighborhoods for 37 years before we decided to move to another state. It is nice to see this video as it brings back so many wonderful memories. I hope that NYC can come back to what it was before -- being safe. I don't know about the trains. I just want the best, not only for Forest Hills, but for all of NYC. Thank you for this video.

@jesusvalle2685 Год назад

I grew up in Jamaica, and we were always around Forest Hills as kids. My family and officially I left NY 5 years ago as it got ridiculously expensive everywhere in NYC and NOT safe. Hopefully someday NYC can rebuild and become safe soon.

@beanpasteposts 10 месяцев назад

NY is much safer now than it used to be. It’s just that there’s more people per capita compared to other cities, so the crime that does happen seems more concentrated than it actually is. Btw, they’re building apartments right along Jamaica-Archer now!

@HughCorbyCruick Год назад

Forest Hills resident of 28 years here. You basically went along Queens Boulevard and Austin Street, which are the busiest parts. But you also missed nearby Forest Hills Stadium, which hosts great concerts, and Forest Hills Gardens, which is one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in New York City. Nice job.

@StanleyVong 5 месяцев назад

I lived in Kessel street and then moved to 73rd road between 1999-2003, Boston Market and GAP were already there since then, target was a Barnes and Nobles, Austin pizza was there as well but it wasnt at the corner from what I remember, there was a good Japanese restaurant down the stairs at 13:00. Thanks for the video, it brings back the best memories.

This is cool and my neighborhood! Some of my favorite spots on or off of Austin: Stacked for amazing sandwiches, La Boulangerie for authentic French pastries and baguettes. Nicks Pizza and Austin Street Pizza has some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. White Radish has one of the best brunches in the neighborhood now that Banter closed :(. Love to Sakura Ya and their shrimp shumai and onigiri! On Queens BLVD shout out to Beijing Dumpling, Cobblestones and Keuka!

17:06 The ugnuts are cute, and they look like the upside down finger hearts! 😁 It was nice to see all the local shops and restaurants.

@bobainsworth5057 Год назад

Thanks, haven't been in FH but once in 50 yrs.. don't recognize anything it's all changed. The 5 below building was the Forest Hills Theater saw many a movie there. You passed my grammar school at Austin and Ashcan Ave. . Our Lady Queen of Martyrs. and didn't mention it. You might have gone down Continental Ave. Under the LIRR into the Forest Hills Gardens .That big building in the square was a hotel. It had a great piano bar downstairs. I watched Judy Garland drinking cocktails at the tables out front. My friend Jimmy got her autograph. What a great place to live , not so crowded nor as many cars.

Man, this video takes me back. I used to be up and down this area all the time cause past the Achieve Beyond building at like 9:45 is where the old Bramson ORT College building used to be. I remember going to that TGI Friday's between classes and stopping by back when that Target used to be a Barnes & Noble with the Starbucks next to it. It's crazy to see how many places have changed over the years, but also how much of the vibe still feels the same. I haven't lived in New York for years, but I miss it every day, and this really brought a smile to my face. I'm glad I stumbled onto this video, and I'm glad you make the videos you do. 😊❤

@Neville60001 Год назад

29:54- *_This_* (to AK's immediate right) is the kind of subway entrance we need more of here in Toronto, especially for the (IMHO) misbegotten and foolish Ontario Line (particularly at the corner of Queen & Spadina where the TD Bank branch used to be and at the corner of Queen & Spadina near where the CIBC [Canadian Imperial Bank Of Commerce] branch is [and where they're going to build a station entrance in what used to be a store, 'just because'.🙄]) If they need to build elevators, there should be enough space for those too. This kind of entrance also needs to be built at King & Bathurst, instead of tearing down the good restaurant and nightclub that was there.
