It is the largest and second most populous district in New York. It is ethnically very diverse, with half of the population immigrant, so it’s no surprise that the city’s second largest Chinese and Indian quarters are located here. Queens is a district full of residential buildings, garden towns and business districts. Although its size is huge, it does not hide many attractions, but among the few there are several that are suitable for quality time.
