Where to stay in Glen Oaks
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Glen Oaks is the last stop before Nassau County. That position is the whole argument for a bed here, since a room in the easternmost neighborhood of Queens puts the county line within reach while keeping a New York City address. Two named sites sit inside.
Blocks near the Queens County Farm Museum and the Church of St. Philip and St. James hold the only named addresses Glen Oaks carries, and Queens Community Board 13 covers all of that ground.
