Technically, a cab cannot refuse to take you to Queens, legally. Now, that is a medallion cab, subject to NYC TLC regulations, what the unmarked liveries do is all their own business. What you must do, however, is get in the cab before you tell them the destination. If they refuse, take their license number and make a complaint, or call over a nearby policeman if there's one around. Some try to dodge saying that they're off-duty, but if they stop when you hail them, and you get in the cab, they must take you to your destination since they were on-duty when you hailed them or they would not have stopped.

Douglaston and Little Neck are nice, basically Long Island-type suburbs. Beautiful area, some beautiful homes.

Hey body, he is actually telling the truth. Do you know how much it is to rent a studio in Manhattan, around 3000dollars a month. Thus, being fool is not one's mistake but shall consider poor attitude as an unhealthy element.

I personally think Whitestone and Douglaston are "nicer", however Bayside has far more amenities, especially near Bell Blvd.

I agree. Bell is becoming the restaurant capital of queens. Just great places all up and down the strip.

I have so many favorites.

New all you can eat - Mizumi along N. Blvd. in Douglaston 5 mins away from Bell Blvd.

I ate there on the way back home westward last weekend and then dropped by Fino in Bell for some wine.

we went there on a saturday for dinner but it was to over priced for what it was . my wife and i each had a saki and i think by the time we were done we were up to 80-or 90 bucks..

we wont go back. i would rather add a few bucks and go to a number of different places. cinco de mayo is fantastic. i like bare burger although it is pricey.

uncle jacks is my favorite and erawan is awesome food.

Douglaston manor is more expensive than Bayside. Top 5 areas IMO in Queens county

1. Malba, Huge homes right near the bridge.
2. Neponsit, Got hit hard by Sandy but it's the hamptons within NYC.
3. Beechurst, Very nice area also near the whitestone and throggs neck bridge
4. Howard Beach, Nice homes and a very well maintained area
5. Forrest Hills Gardens, Very stately homes, it reminds me of Fieldston in Riverdale

A personal favorite is Middle Village. Just a very solid middle class area that's held on. Great park also, Juniper Park. My other personal favorite is the historic area within Jackson Heights. I had the pleasure of going in some of them. It's old school NY. The Greystones, Hawthorne Court, and The Chateau.

I wish I could rep you, but it won't let me.
