Woodside sits at one of Queens' great transit crossroads, where the elevated 7 train runs above Roosevelt Avenue and the LIRR stops at 61st Street. Long known for its Irish heritage, the neighborhood today is wonderfully diverse, with Filipino, Thai, and Latin American restaurants joining the neighborhood's classic pubs.
Residential side streets offer a mix of prewar apartment buildings and homes, all within minutes of Manhattan.
