Did you know that Queens, New York holds the Guinness World Record as the most ethnically diverse urban area on the planet? With over 120 different countries represented and 138 languages spoken, it should come as no surprise that stepping into each neighborhood is like being transported to a different part of the world. Hop aboard the virtual tour bus and get ready to explore “The World’s Borough” like never before.

Join New York Adventure Club as we uncover the rich historical and cultural landscape of Queens, New York, the most diverse urban area in the world.

Led by Linda Fisher, licensed NYC tour guide and longtime Queens resident, our virtual trip encompassing a sampler of the best of Queens’ 194 separate and distinct neighborhoods will include:

• A brief overview of the history of Queens and its backstory of diversity and freedom of conscience
• A trip through an amalgam of neighborhoods, old and new, to understand why Queens’ cultural diversity is written in the borough's DNA.
• The 101 on the Queens street grid
• Stops at cultural and heritage sites throughout Queens and what they represent
• A discussion of planned communities and public housing that shaped neighborhoods, for better and for worse
• A look at repurposed architecture that revitalized neighborhoods.

Afterward, we’ll have a Q&A with Linda — any and all questions about Queens is welcomed and encouraged!
