Around Glendale
Set in a sort of cemetery sandwich, Glendale feels closed off from other nearby neighborhoods. The area itself is long and narrow, two miles from west to east and sometimes only a half-mile thin. If charming Tudors is what's in mind, there are plenty to choose from in this area. Beautiful six-family brick buildings are also in surplus. But if a co-op building is more in line, then there are a few buildings, one specifically east of Woodhaven Boulevard, that boast over 200 units.
With the neighborhood having German roots, it's no surprise that many local eateries offer authentic German cuisine. Zum Stammtisch is the most popular restaurant in the neighborhood for this reason. There are also a few Vietnamese restaurants and diners but overall, Glendale is not a food destination. Thankfully, the rest of Queens offers some of the best options in the city at large, all a short bus ride or drive away.
Beyond the cemeteries that line Glendale, there is a healthy dose of greenspace sprinkled around the neighborhood—via front lawns, trees-lined streets, and beautiful gardens. Homes passed on from generations exude a special charm that comes from years of care and deep connections. There’s a palpable sense of this in Glendale where neighbors become fixtures of the community and homeowners become long-time residents.
There is no shortage of lively bars and restaurants to visit on Myrtle Avenue come Friday night in Glendale. Check out a local pub for bar food and a fun crowd. Make plans for dinner at Zum Stammtisch, where wooden walls and massive beers transport you from Queens to Germany. Wrap up the night at a sports bar that’s worth making a pit stop at, even if there isn’t a game on.
Take advantage of all that Queens has to offer on Sunday. Begin your day with Russo Bakery on Myrtle Avenue, known as the best bakery in the borough. Then take a long walk to Highland Park, making a stop to walk around Ridgewood Reservoir. Opt for a tennis lesson at Highland Park Tennis Courts or simply keep walking up Forest Avenue to Grimaldi to complete your bakery tour of the surrounding area.
Those on the western side of the neighborhood are within walking distance of the M train at the Fresh Pond Road Station. It’s about 40 minutes for the M to weave its way into Lower Manhattan. Another option is the L train at Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenue, but that’s about 12 blocks away. Most residents make use of their driveways and prefer to commute by car rather than public transportation. Locally, the Q55 and Q29 buses offer service throughout the neighborhood and beyond.
