If Queens were not part of New York City, it would stand alone as the fourth largest city in the country.

Not only do we have a population of 2.2 million, but we can also boast being the most ethnically diverse spot on Earth.

Add all those factors together, and you will understand why it is handy to have a guide like the one you are holding to help you navigate all that Queens has to offer.

To help ease the confusion brought on by everyday life in this borough, we present the Official Guide to Queens, the 2006 Blue Book. Inside these pages you will find phone numbers for your local Councilman, the location of the nearest post office, who to call if you need medical help, where to find your local senior center, how to open your own business and so much more – it’s all in these pages.

So keep this guide with you throughout the year; leave it next to your yellow pages or put it beside your computer. You may be surprised by how often you find yourself flipping through the pages.

The Bridge Home

We may not be the fanciest or most populous borough of New York, but as anyone who uses one of our bridges leading to the other boroughs knows, there’s no place better to live and raise a family.

We are the best of all worlds. We have the business drive of Manhattan, the street smarts of Brooklyn, the diverse neighborhoods of the Bronx and the green space of Staten Island all wrapped into one place that we call home.

Reading the 2006 Guide To Queens you must have picked up a thing or two about what makes us so unique, yet such an important part of this great city. Keep this guide handy, and use it often.

The more you use it, the more you will be inclined, the next time you head over the Queensborough Bridge to taste life in another borough, to remember where you came from, and to rejoice upon your return.

Enjoy all that Queens has to offer.
