College Point is a unique enclave in Queens that dates from the 1860s. Located in a secluded corner overlooking the East River, College Point today is about as fully realized as small town life gets within the five boroughs.

It’s well worth a day trip to see such attractions as the 1868 Poppenhusen Institute, a cultural center; German grocer Empire Market, founded in 1921; and the waterfront Hermon A. MacNeil Park, with its sweeping views of Manhattan. Read all about it on Brownstoner Queens.
