Cool in Queens

As previously noted, the best ways to keep cool in Queens include the Lemon Ice King of Corona, cholados, frappés, açaí, and a frosty pilsner.

Hal Sirowitz, the former Queens poet laureate, takes another beat in "Cold Comfort" his hysterical tale of keeping cool in Queens by loitering in the Western Beef on College Point Boulevard. Enjoy getting and keeping cool!
