    Last time I was in the Queens Center Mall was 1978. Wow! It has really changed! Glad to see it is doing well and hosts so many good stores. Nowadays many malls are filled with vacant stores. Thanks for the tour.

    I'm 49 years old. When I was a kid my Mom would say we're going to Rego Park or Rego Park Mall. Even though we lived 5 - 10 minutes away from Green Acres Mall, we came here alot. I loved it as a kid from about age 5 to 12. And even in my twenties, on my own. My Mom would have us walk over to Alexander's and get White Castles in later years as we pass it. I'm so proud to have been a born and raised Queens resident. 😉

    The last time I was in the QC mall was 21years ago. The food court was originally on the ground level. I'm old enough to remember going to Fairyland as a little kid on many occasions since I lived within walking distance. I've lost count of how many times I was in that mall. Thanks for the memories and for allowing me a current peak at my old stomping ground!👍👍👍👍👍😁

    This was my home mall, I lived not too far up in Flushing in Pomonok Houses. My mom used to work at the Macy’s in the jewelry department from 1995-1998. I was always going there with her , she’d take me to the KB and Funcoland just around the corner to get games and toys. It’s changed a lot since the renovation back in 2006. It’s always a pleasure taking a trip in QCM. Models is gone of course , and the Macy’s is still pretty much designed the same.

    When the mall opened in the mid 70s there was a restaurant on the 3rd (top) floor. I believe it was Cookies Steak House & was a full service restaurant. There were no stores up there. & when that 1 went out of business another steak house took over. Finally mall operators thought having stores up there instead of a restaurant would be more profitable for them so no more restaurant. I was there just recently in late spring/ early summer & the food court wasn't blocked off like that. The sushi place in between the escalators has been there at least 4 years as well as shake shack

    Sbarro's' has been in this mall's food court since the 80's, it's not new at all.. I grew up 2 blocks down from this mall and lived in the area for almost half of my adult life. Also, there's no gourmet place in the mall but if you are familiar with the area, people cook their food and there are so many restaurants, and diverse ethnic communities in and around the area historically. - food has to be really special/good to be gourmet and have people pay for it consistently. Also, you can't just put up any kind of food establishment and expect it to do well in the area... Joe's Crab shack went up and closed down right across from the mall within the same year. Local folks not gonna buy or eat just anything with so much competition, local food and folks making their own food. The mall has gone through so many changes - I remember when there was a parking lot across from it on the side of the subway and the entire JC penny and the school next to it was a parking lot. Like many locals I used that parking lot as a thoroughfare to/from my house and the Wooodhaven subway.station.
    i'm old enough to remember when there was and A&S in the mall and also a bookstore across the street from the mall behind the subway station. The mall used to have a VIM, Wild Pair, and Hello Kitty Store.. It has certainly improved and is always busy. It's so interesting that this popped up on my home page but it was nostalgia.

      on the plus side, the lack of change would bring me nostalgia of my mall-going days, mainly the 90s and 00s. "most profitable in America," he says. surprised Herald's Square in the heart of midtown Manhattan can't do better. maybe because Queens is closer to where some mall-shoppers actually live (in Queens, in this instance), nearby. location location location, indeed; people want to chill nearby their homes or where they go to school, it seems

    Queens Center may or may not be the most profitable per square foot. It depends on whether outdoor malls are included in the computation and probably some bookkeeping variations. What's significant here is that it's a big, old, very successful mall in a nation where malls aren't doing so well. It's size and that it's 4 p.m. on a weekday account for patron density appearing light to some commenters.

    Wow. Cool piece of trivia. Never would have guessed a mall in Queens to be the mall that generates the most revenue. The old pictures are great. It's a nice mall. Another must stop when I pass through New York. (Or maybe not, since I'm a recovering shopaholic! If I don't spend it all in midtown...😅😂 Thanks again for the great content.🙂✌️

      I believe it. Queens has a large Asian population. Many Asians that come to live in NYC are very wealthy.

    I remember back in the early to mid 90's there was a renovation done before the expansion. I still remember the scaffolding and the new paint job afterwards. As a kid the food court bomb with Sbarro's being the most popular. I can also remember the tobacco shop that existed on the main level...loved that place.

    I haven't been to that mall since around 1980ish. I actually like the mall in Green Acrers better, too each his own. 🤷🏾‍♀️
    In regards to not enough seating, there was probably more before covid.

    AK , I noticed something about your channel as opposed to lets say the channels of Walk . Ride , Fly or TomD . You seem to have apparently more viewers who were NYC natives who moved elsewhere . Have you reached to find out how many of your viewers are former NYC residents ? These others seem to get people who are prospective tourists/visitors .

    I lived in Queens until 1976. I vaguely remember visiting this mall. Is this the mall at the end of Northern Blvd? Nice to reminisce though.

    And here I thought New York City didn't have any shopping malls-what a surprise to see that they have them in Queens.
    15:16-Sbarro set up shop here in Toronto in the Eaton Center at the (then) only food court that was in the Eaton Centre's south wing sometime back in the '80's; as far as I know, it's the _only_ Sbarro location here in Canada. It's now in the north wing in the new food court that opened up after the mall's owner redid the lower north wing to include a second food court (the original south food court underwent a renovation and remake, with all of the stalls being run by the Swiss chain Movenpik [under different titles, as different restaurants] but when Movenpik decided to leave Canada [or it went out of business], this south food court closed down, and the north one's the only one left.)
    All in all, this mall looks like many of the malls here in Toronto (The Toronto Eaton Center, Fairview Mall, Yorkdale Mall, Scarborough Town Center, Sherway Gardens, The Shops At Don Mills, The Atrium On Bay, and The Tenor), and it even has a subway station nearby, which only a few Toronto ones have. Good video as usual, AK.

      NYC has a ton of malls, QCM alone is in between 2 of them; Queens Place and Rego Center. The former I know best for having Target and Best Buy, and the latter lost a bunch of their long-standing stores, so there's only some smaller stores that are left. Shame, I've gotten many an outfit from that Sears.

    Honestly, you need a small sign that say's "Im not recording you" or "ONLY recording the environment, not YOU" or "documenting travels, NOT YOU" because all the looks people are giving you in this vid makes me yell at my computer "HE'S NOT RECORDING YOU!! KEEP IT MOVING!!" lol
