Crossing the Boulevard is a very
unique book. It gathers many people’s stories about how they came to Queens
from all over the world. This essay will be focusing on two certain people and
their opinions on several subjects. These two people are Ali and Moustafa, both
brothers from Egypt. They came to Astoria in Queens in order to start a new
life. They both have a restaurant in Astoria. However, Moustafa decorates his
restaurant much more than Ali does. Besides this, the two brothers are both
very similar.
