Kew Gardens, NY Overview

Home to the Queens Borough government offices, Kew Gardens borders Forest Park on the west. Queens Boulevard, the Jackie Robinson Parkway, Kew Gardens Road, and Myrtle Avenue are other neighborhood borders. The name Kew Gardens was derived after a well-known botanical gardens center in England, and the first architects favored English and neo-Tudor styling. Many elegant single-family homes spring up in the 1920s, along with apartment buildings. Affordable subway transportation into Manhattan heralded the end of available land and a boom of large apartment buildings and high-rises. The pinnacle of Queens' diversity can be seen in Kew Gardens, and restaurants feature every imaginable cuisine in this densely populated neighborhood.
