"Namesake for KISS and home of Queens College"
Rock legend has it that KISS was named after Kissena Boulevard, so with just that in mind it is important to be familiar with this stretch of Flushing. I went to Queens College for many years so I am quite familiar with the boulevard, which I traveled on via the Q17 bus from Main Street. Asian themed restaurants and small businesses are located along the first half or so, and the closer you get to the college on Horace Harding Expressway, you come across businesses catering to the students like the College Green pub, copy houses, a pizzeria and Dunkin Dounts.
Make sure you go further along to visit Kissena Park and bring a kite with you!
