there are many parts of queens that most new yorkers will never visit unless they live there or are perhaps passing through on an unusual errand. a couple of weeks ago a friend of mine heard about an old tunnel in astoria from the 1800’s – curiosity got the best of me and so, one cold sunday, i headed over to check it out. turns out there wasn’t much to see as the tunnel only extended about 200 feet before our passage was blocked by a heavy steel door. defeated by not done, we drove around college point and checked out some odd corners that seemed about as far from new york city proper as humanly possibly.
