Southeastern Queens: Meadowmere
Meadowmere is an extremely small working class neighborhood, which is technically a section of Rosedale. This area is waterfront property. The Meadowmere Park Bridge above Hook Creek, divides Meadowmere a Queens neighborhood, with Meadowmere Park a Nassau county town.
Pictured is the only official business in Meadowmere, the M&B Bait Shop. The shop is seasonal and closes in the fall.
In 2007, the City of New York announced the introduction of a sewer system in Meadowmere to prevent the neighborhoods constant flooding.
