    SO connecting Queens to Brooklyn the Kosciuszko Bridge is also one of the newer bridges in NYC with…read moreboth directions complete in 2019 It replaces many crossing over the years. It was a bit crowded and the lanes pretty narrow for the moving van i was in but the crossing was without incident. It was also still light out so I was not able to get a glimpse of the changing color scheme that lights the bridge at night

    After the renovation, the bridge in one way is easier to navigate, in another way it's not…read more Going into Queens, there are 5 lanes. One lane coming from WillyB (assuming drivers merge properly and not cross the painted median), three lanes from BQE and one lane to exit Metropolitan Ave. If you don't pay attention and change to the correct lane, you will miss the LIE exit though you can still get to the BQE exits since there is a concrete divider. Going into Manhattan, there are 5 lanes with the 2 right lanes required merging. Either way, there is still congestion or slow downs during the merging in rush hour and depending on the sun location. At night, the steel cables are lit up with colors. Each night the colors are different. In the beginning, there is too be a light show. Now, it's 1 solid color. Pedestrian walkway is great. It's an easy hike from Sunnyside, Queens to Greenpoint, Brooklyn. It's about a mile walk. Brooklyn puts you in the residential area. Queens puts you by the cemetery or the industrial area. Enjoy.

    Visited back in April -- the Vander Ende-Onderdonk House Museum is a true hidden gem. Nestled right…read moreon the Queens-Brooklyn county line, in the far northwest corner of Ridgewood and well off the typical tourist path, this historic house museum offers a quiet, intimate escape with a fascinating story to tell. The collection inside is thoughtfully curated, showcasing artifacts that illuminate both the house's past and the surrounding neighborhood's rich history. The staff is warm and welcoming, and one guide in full period attire was not only gracious but impressively knowledgeable a wonderful touch that really brings the space to life. This is a must-visit for history buffs, preservation professionals, Ridgewood locals, or anyone exploring NYC who's craving an "out-of-the-way" spot to slow down, reflect, and soak in some Queens-centric history. Don't miss the "Arbitration Rock" on the grounds tucked inside a picket-fenced enclosure, it's an intriguing remnant of the historic boundary dispute that once defined the Ridgewood (Queens)-Bushwick (Brooklyn) border. A peaceful, educational, and surprisingly charming experience.

    We were so happy to have our daughter's wedding at the Onderdonk house and gardens at the end of…read moreMay. The staff there could not have been better stewards for the space or kinder shepherds to us as we worked out way through the planning, execution, and enjoyment of a wonderful event with friends and family. We are big DIYers and the gracious guidance of Virginia and others at Vander Ende-Onderdonk took exceptional care of us. A joyous event (and huge success for us) and cannot sing my praises enough for this gem of a location.
