Crossing Queens Blvd. at any time is a suicide mission. I used to live in an apartment right on Queens Blvd. too.

Not the only one. I personally think it is the worst pizza in HB (I grew up in the area) but I haven't had it in many many years. No one in my family every orders from New Park. One time it came with a fly baked in the cheese! Much prefer Ginos in HB... But all time Queens favorite was Carlos on Jamaica Ave off of Woodhaven - yummy!

i disagree with the pizza (never even been there) I vote Singas in Elmhurst or Ginos near the Elmhurst library.

I agree with most, but don't know crossbay at all! I'm more of an Elmhurst/Rego Park/Glen Oaks/Bellerose/Ridgewood girl!

I was a mini cheerleader for Newtown at one time!!! LOL my babysitter went there, and she was a cheerleader and got me and sister of the captain to be 'mascots'. we did the cheers with them
'Red and black is dynomite!'
