About Woodside
Where to stay in Woodside
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Roosevelt Avenue is the axis to book near, since the blocks around it carry most of the movement in Woodside while the streets running back towards Maspeth stay residential and quiet. Astoria borders it north. Sunnyside adjoins on the west, and Jackson Heights, Elmhurst and East Elmhurst pick up on the eastern side, so a room in any of them leaves Woodside a short hop away.
About Woodside
What are the main landmarks in Woodside?
Two names hold the local list. Woodside Community Church sits among the residential blocks, the parish building that the record attaches to this part of Queens, and the Sunnyside Garden Arena is the second entry, the only one on the list that is not a church. After those two, Woodside's roster runs out.
What remains is street life, thickest along Roosevelt Avenue and thinning as the grid runs south towards Maspeth.
What is the history of Woodside?
Two names carry the past. Woodside Community Church and the Sunnyside Garden Arena are what the register keeps for this western portion of Queens, one a parish and the other a hall. Roosevelt Avenue marks the divide.
The blocks along it carry the traffic, while the streets falling away towards Maspeth and Sunnyside keep to houses, and that division still describes the neighbourhood.
Where is Woodside?
Six neighbourhoods press in. Maspeth lies south, Astoria north, Sunnyside west, and Elmhurst, Jackson Heights and East Elmhurst all sit along the eastern edge.
