...There is no part of NHP that is in Queens unless something changed since I moved away 4 years ago after growing up there for 20 years. You're thinking of Floral Park, right next door. It is partially Nassau/Queens. There are some homes in the Great Neck School District in NHP, but none in Queens. Who knows, maybe utilities are different there...? I highly doubt it though. You don't get to pick and choose your water, electricity, or gas providers.
There is a small area in Queens generally referred to as part of New Hyde Park with the same zip code

I love people who definitively make a correction about something and couldn't be more wrong. Like you for example. I can understand people not knowing about the portion of NHP in Queens but then don't embarrass yourself by saying you know it doesn't exist. I've lived in NHP Queens for decades.
If Walter was still with us he would be providing maps for everything from municipal boundaries to the route of the Good Humor Man preventing this kind of confusion..

I grew up in a part of Queens right at the NHP border on 80th ave and Langdale.
Our address was NHP even though it was Queens (I think its considered Glen Oaks Queens, but everyone in the area called it NHP).
So count me as another guy who has lived in NHP Queens.

So you lived near the intersection with the mailbox and the traffic light that was installed about 20-25 years ago. I know it well. It's not Glen Oaks, its New Hyde Park for all purposes. What years were you there?
LIJ has a NHP address but is physically in Queens County and in the City of New York
That's exactly what I said. Thanks for the confirmation. My kid was born in LIJ, which had a NHP address, but the birth certificate is from NYC, not Nassau County.
