66th St, Maspeth

Similar to other streets in the neighborhood, this is a mainly residential street. The street itself was kind of loud, with a lot of traffic, and plenty of the small service oriented businesses like the other streets. This street wasn’t really nearby anything of interest, and I don’t think I would plan a visit here on my next trip to Brooklyn.

With a speckling of small businesses and people, this street was somewhat lively. I didn't like the amount of trash on the sidewalk, but I did like the overall vibe of people living their lives in a place where they felt comfortable. There are plenty of businesses and restaurants on the streets nearby, so I think this one might be better for relaxing. All in all, a nice street.

This is a quiet street, filled with typical railroad style houses. The Ridgewood area of Queens boasts a plethora of specialty shops, especially from Eastern Europe. Its distance from the L line and the unreliability of the L line makes it a bit of a hassle to live here and work uptown. However, if you are looking for a quiet neighborhood, this is a good place to settle in. This particular block houses rows of similar mid-size buildings, which makes for fairly good insulation from the sounds of the street. 66th street is fairly distant from the main avenues, and thus does not incur much heavy traffic. One caveat though that it is within a network of intertwined streets, and thus does not make it the easiest street to find. I would not suggest this block for someone who is new to the New York City area.
