As part of Queens Week, our exclusive City Poll of borough residents continues, this time with a detailed look at how people in the biggest borough get around and how much they travel into Manhattan. NY1’s Josh Robin filed this report.

There’s shopping, schools, beaches and museums—but Queens is still in the shadow of the borough across the East River.

"I work in Manhattan," says one Queens resident.

"I regularly go to Manhattan," another says.

"Because it's the center of the city—the most beautiful part of the city," one resident says through a translator.

As for Queens, 31 percent leave every day. Seventeen percent a few times a week. Twenty-three percent leave it once or twice a week. Twenty-six percent leave it less than once a week.

The poll shows the more affluent Queens residents are, generally the more likely they will travel outside Queens daily.

Our survey also finds a third of the boroughs residents report they're not currently working or going to school.

"Here's another question. When people in Queens say they're going to the city, what does that really mean?

"Manhattan," one resident says.
