Ever wonder what the life is like
between the lines of both the most populous and the most diverse boroughs in
NYC? (Hint – not the same boroughs!) Ever scratch your head as to why our
boroughs’ borders zig and zag, jig and jag, whiz and bang back and forth so
much and so randomely? (Hint – its hardly random!) Ever found the burning
desire to follow that thin slashing, dividing yellow line til’ it runs out of
land to divide?
Come along on an awesome North to
South bike ride and tour along the Brooklyn-Queens border! Hosted by The Levys’
Unique New York! We will start at the foot of the romantically named and
aromatically scented Newtown Creek Industrial Inlet, at the corner of
Metropolitan and Scott streets. Then we will do our darndest to follow the boro
border line along such disparate Brooklyn neighborhoods like East Williamsburg,
Bushwick, Broadway Junction, Highland Park, Cypress Hills, Cityline (there’s a
neighborhood called Cityline!), East New York, Spring Creek, and South-east
Canarsie, and thats just in Brooklyn! On the Queens side we’ll also haul
through LIC, Ridgewood, along the Evergreen Cemetery, Woodhaven, Ozone Park,
Lindenwood and we’ll skirt the edge of Howard Beach! Exciting!
Bike the Boro’s Borders!
