For a number of years, the Sunnyside/Woodside area was home to a unique distinction: two locations of the slowly dying Boston Market chain, less than a mile apart. One was at Queens Boulevard and 50th st., the other in the strip mall at Woodside Ave. and Northern Blvd.

Perhaps nowhere else in the world was it possible to get a Boston-style rotisserie chicken from one Boston Market, and walk 18 minutes or 0.8 miles to get another rotisserie chicken from a non-contiguous Boston Market. They both appear to have closed in the last year, as part of the chain’s slow corporate death.
