Forest Hills In Queens, NY Walkthrough Tour

Original Film Date: Wednesday September 27, 2023

This is the Forest Hills, Queens walking tour video that I filmed on September 2023. I recently filmed a Part 2 video that's longer than this first part. This was my first Queens walking tour that I ever filmed. I heard that Forest Hills is a good neighborhood to live, a good community to walk around, nice houses in the neighborhoods, beautiful European-style buildings that make you feel like you're in Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands or Austria, nice grocery stores and fantastic restaurants with good food. Forest Hills is an unique neighborhood in Queens with good demographics, a good safety rate, its own stadium (Forest Hills Stadium), Austin Street being busy, a forest park that's 500 acres of land, clothing boutiques, outlet-style stores, Tudor-style houses and inner street buildings, and restaurants filled with different food options.

It's been two years since I filmed my first Queens walking tour, exploring Forest Hills. I decided to come back and do part 2 of an extended walking tour. The first Forest Hills video was only 9 minutes and this new video is 48 minutes here on Rumble (47 minutes on YouTube). Forest Hills is a neighborhood in Queens bounded next to Kew Gardens, Middle Village, Rego Park, Elmhurst, Corona, Glendale, Forest Park, Richmond Hill, and Flushing Meadows Corona Park.

Forest Hills is a good neighborhood to live, a good community, nice houses in different European-styles and suburban styles, Forest Hills Stadium, Austin Street, fancy restaurants, retail development stores, Metropolitan Ave, a community of Bukhara Jews from Uzbekistan and Eastern Europeans, Forest Park, and the Forest Hills Station Square.

In the Forest Hills Station Square, there are restaurants like Jade Eatery and Lounge, Prince Tea House, Forest Hills Pizzeria, and Dirty Pierre's. The station square takes the Long Island Railroad (LIRR) in routes to Jamaica, Queens (Sutphin Blvd) and Midtown Manhattan (both LIRR and City Subway). There are movie theaters in this neighborhood, such as Cinemart Cinemas (Metropolitan Ave) and Regal UA Midway (Queens Blvd). The Spider Man movie from 2002 was filmed here in Forest Hills. 108th Street is where a community of Bukharian Jews from Uzbekistan, Georgians, Russians, Muslim Uzbeks, Orthodox Jews, Ashkenazi Jews, and other ethnic groups live.

The local restaurant Queens Bully closed down temporarily early this year on March, due to previous tax violations and lower staff membership. Forest Hills is continuing to change every year with more development going on, more businesses, and it's experiencing a small level of gentrification with the expanding influence of young, upper class, middle class families and luxury buildings in Queens Boulevard. Forest Hills is a safe neighborhood to visit. The restaurants have decent food, there are good schools in the area, and Austin Street is busier than usual with traffic and parking.

These are the same two descriptions from both Part 1 and Part 2 of Forest Hills, Queens I posted here.
