Forgotten New York

EIGHTH ROAD, Whitestone

You’ll have to use a little imagination, but stroll down curving 8th Road, a short alley between 149th and 150th Streets south of 8th Avenue, and the rural past of Queens can be visualized. The little lane may have serviced stables when the area was originally developed in the early 1900s, and it remained unpaved until the mid-1990s.
