The Sidewalk

In the late 19th century Steinway was commonly known for piano factories. Today, it’s a completely revolutionized neighborhood. In my opinion it’s the most convenient residential vicinity. People all over the city travel to Queens to come to Steinway because of the variety of options of things to do. There’s a wide selection of shopping centers, cafes and restaurants that are walking distances from the bus or train. At night time the streets of Steinway is pleasing to the eye as the 24 hour bodega’s and lampposts aluminate the sky. I live in the 3rd floor of my building where the next flight of stairs leads you the to the roof top. My roof top is the best place to get a great view of my neighborhood. Even at midnight there are pedestrians walking in the streets. It’s just one of those neighborhoods in Queens that never goes to sleep. Of course there are people out all the time because it’s a safe, multi cultural area that’s very exciting to live in and as close to Manhattan. I feel fortunate to have been raised in this environment because I was brought up in a community of wide variety ethnicity. In my apartment alone there are 3 completely different nationalities so inevitable not to pick up a different language while living there for a long period of time. I have nothing negative to say about my neighborhood. I think it’s impeccable just the way it is. If I was a city planner, I’d construct it the same way.
