Food & drink New York
A Woodhaven neighbourhood tavern gives Queens explorers a stop with local history.
Neir’s is a Woodhaven tavern whose appeal combines a working neighbourhood bar with New York film history. Scenes from Goodfellas were filmed here, and the venue offers a dedicated experience tour alongside its food, drinks and community programme.
Give this Queens stop time of its own. A regular meal and a booked history tour are different ways into the place, depending on whether you are coming for the neighbourhood or the cinema connection.
