Les meilleurs hôtels à Le Queens

If you've ever visited Manhattan, chances are you've been to Queens. Or rather, through Queens. Home of both John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport, it is the gateway to New York City for tens of millions of people every year. The largest of New York City's five boroughs (almost as big as Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island combined), Queens is the most ethnically diverse county in the United States. One hundred and six languages are spoken here! Queens has gotten a bad rap as a cultural wasteland. However, there are world-class institutions here: the Queens Museum of Art and the Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the Institute for Contemporary Art/P.S. 1 in Long Island City and the American Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria. The borough's ethnic diversity is celebrated at such venues as the Thalia Spanish Theatre in Sunnyside, the Langston Hughes Cultural Center in Corona and the Chung Cheng Art Center on the campus of St. John's University. Speaking of St. John's, sports fans will recognize Queens as home to perennial college basketball champs the Red Storm, as well as the New York Mets at Shea Stadium and the USTA National Tennis Center. From the Socrates Sculpture Park to the Noguchi Garden Museum, the 17th century Bowne House, the Queens County Farm Museum and the spectacular Unisphere, Queens is a big and boisterous borough of boundless surprises.
