What Queens does
to a microwave.

Where microwaves sit in Queens: mixed housing, family houses, apartments and walk-ups.

All of New York Metro

Mixed housing

Where 1990s kitchens sit beside new builds, a dial-timer microwave can outlive a newer touch-panel model, since its mechanical timer is a plain part while a discontinued board may never turn up.

Family houses

In a family house the microwave warms bottles, snacks and leftovers from dawn to bedtime, and its door latch and turntable wear out ahead of anything else inside it.

Apartments and walk-ups

In a small apartment kitchen the microwave hood combination hangs low over the cooking surface to save counter space, and steam from every pot rises into its touchpad and fan, which wear sooner than they would in a bigger room.

Forest Hills

Tudor houses and garden co-ops in Forest Hills hold microwave hood combinations from the 2000s, now at the age when door switches, fans and lamps give out one after another.

Astoria

By 1836 a small village of 20 to 30 dwellings, Hallett's Cove, had grown up on Astoria's East River shore.

Bayside

Bayside's building boom after World War II followed its Long Island Rail Road station, which gave commuters a one-train ride to Manhattan.

Douglaston

Douglaston Hill, with turn-of-the-20th-century Queen Anne and Victorian houses, became a city historic district in December 2004.

Fresh Meadows

The New York Life Insurance Company built Fresh Meadows, hiring the Fuller Company, builder of the Flatiron Building, to put up its apartments.

Kew Gardens

Kew Gardens' first apartment building, the Kew Bolmer, went up in 1915, and by 1936 more than twenty apartment buildings stood among its Tudor-style houses.
