Queens may not be as trendy, nor as chic as Manhattan, but it's the ultimate American melting pot. You can take a "trip around the world" courtesy of the 7 Train's stations. But Queens is also the birthplace of the film industry, superb museums like the Museum of the Moving Image, and rehabilitated industrial wastelands. Indeed, having been snubbed, the borough is now taking advantage of Manhattan's soaring prices to attract artists, young creators and companies.
