Austin Street

Austin Street is an east–west street in Queens, New York, United States that runs from Eliot Avenue in Rego Park to 127th Street in Kew Gardens. It originally began as a small, quiet, residential lane, but quickly grew into the commercial center of Forest Hills. The three-quarters of a mile stretch from Yellowstone Boulevard and Ascan Avenue holds several commercial shops. It is named after Austin Corbin, a 19th-century Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) president.
