Scott's Pizza Tours highlighted Queens as an underrated borough containing the city's highest concentration of continuous 1960s-era pizzerias. He was particularly impressed by the unique use of sesame seeds on the bottom of Sicilian crusts at Freddy's and the preservation of original 1960s kitchen tools at Pizza Garden.

Local tips
- Use the OMNY contactless system to pay for subways and buses by simply tapping your phone or credit card at the turnstile.
- Walk on the right side of the sidewalk and step aside completely if you need to stop for photos or directions to avoid blocking the flow of foot traffic.
- Expect to tip between 18% and 22% at full-service restaurants, as gratuity is rarely included in the menu price and is a primary source of income for staff.
- Avoid entering a subway car that is completely empty when the rest of the train is crowded, as there is usually a practical reason like a lack of air conditioning or a strong odor.
