Yon oryantasyon brèf nan kote ki pi divès sou planèt la
Queens se tou de yon konte Eta New York nan Long Island (ansanm ak Konte Nassau ak Suffolk sou bò solèy leve ak Brooklyn, oswa Kings County, nan sid ak nan lwès) ak yon borough nan New York City (lòt yo Brooklyn, Bronx, Staten Island, ak Manhattan).
Malgre ke Vil New York gen ladan senk minisipalite sa yo, lè Nouyòkè yo di "Vil la", yo refere li a Manhattan. Queens se pi gwo vil New York City (109 mil kilomèt oswa apeprè 35% nan zòn total NYC), e se dezyèm pi gwo borough apre Brooklyn nan popilasyon an.
Plis pase 2 milyon moun rele Queens lakay. Li prevwa ke pa 2025 Queens pral pi minisipalite a.
Moun Queens konte rès peyi Etazini ak mond lan kòm homelands yo. Imigran yo te rezoud nan Queens pou plis pase yon santèn ane, epi yo pa bay okenn siy pou kite. Jodi a plis lang yo pale nan sa yo kilomèt 109 kilomèt pase nenpòt lòt kote sou planèt la. Angle yo pale nan kay la pa majorite a vas, swiv pa Panyòl. Awondi soti dis lòt lang ki pi komen yo se Chinwa, Koreyen, Italyen, Grèk, Ris, Tagalog, franse, ak franse kreyòl (dapre US Census 2000 la, SF3, PCT10).
Sèvis Lapòs US divize Queens nan senk domèn: Long Island City (lwès), Flushing (nò santral), Jamaica (sid santral), Far Rockaway (sid), ak Floral Park (bò solèy leve). Chak nan zòn sa yo gen anpil katye. Pa egzanp, katye Briarwood se nan zòn jamaika a; ou ka mete swa Briarwood oswa Jamayik kòm lavil la lè voye lapòs, epi li pral rive nan destinasyon an menm.
Rezidan yo refere non non katye yo lè yo dekri kote y ap viv la.
Queens fwote pa Brooklyn nan lwès ak nan sid, ak Konte Nassau sou bò solèy leve. Li rive nan Shores yo nan Oseyan Atlantik la nan sid la (sis-ak-yon mwatye-mil Rockaway Beach la), Long Island Son nan nò a, ak larivyè Lefrat la East nan lwès la.
Manhattan bay manti nan lwès East River, epi li konekte Queensboro Bridge, Midtown Tunnel, Long Island Railroad (LIRR), ak plizyè liy tren. LaGuardia Ayewopò se sou Long Island Sound, ak Ayewopò Entènasyonal JFK se nan direksyon rivaj sid la, nan Jamaica Bay.
Queens pa mete kanpe nan yon kadriyaj ki bon, menm jan anpil nan Manhattan se, men an jeneral, blòk yo respekte modèl sa a:
- Streets kouri nò-sid, ak nimewo yo jwenn pi wo lès la plis ou ale.
- Avni kouri bò solèy leve-lwès, ak nimewo yo jwenn pi wo sid la pi lwen ou ale.
- Avni yo souvan pè ak wout ak kondui. Se konsa, ou ka jwenn 85th Avenue, 85th Drive, ak 85th Road tout pwochen youn ak lòt.
- Queens adrès se yon fisèl nan nimewo ki al gade nan kote - "110-10 10yèm St." "110" refere a yon lari kwa / avni, nan ka sa a, 110th Avenue. "10" refere a nimewo kay la.
