82nd Road

"[M]any of the people who live in [Kew Gardens] do so because they want to live in a place that is decidedly not cut from the same frenetic cloth as much of the city, or maybe it is just because many of the streets are curved and hilly and a pedestrian can never seem to see far enough down the road to find out if cars are coming. The neighborhood started out as a genteel garden suburb, and despite intense development pressure because of its location at the confluence of a number of highways and subway lines, a number of vigorous community associations have worked hard to keep it as close to that ideal as possible."
