Always been curious about what exactly demarcates the border between Brooklyn and Queens? Well, last year, we sort of answered it for you, but should you feel the need to physically transverse that line, Levy's Unique New York is offering a "Bike the Boro" tour along the entirety of the border next Sunday (May 22nd).
Per the Levy's website, "We will start at the foot of the romantically named and aromatically scented Newtown Creek Industrial Inlet, at the corner of Metropolitan and Scott streets. Then we will do our darndest to follow the boro border line," passing through neighborhoods ranging from Bushwick to Cityline (we bet you don't even know where that is!) to Ridgewood and all the way to Howard Beach. Although it covers a lot of ground, the 10-mile ride shouldn't be too strenuous, and it costs just $5 ($3 if you can name three neighborhoods on each border).
The event is part of Bike Month, and guide Matt Levy told the Brooklyn Paper that he's particularly looking forward to passing by "'The Hole,' a swampy landscape off the Grant Avenue A-train where Mafioso types would dump bodies and where a celebrated group of volunteer law enforcement officials called the Federation of Black Cowboys keep the peace." Ooh, scary!
