A Walker in the City by Alfred Kazin and Low Life by Luc Sante are my two favorite NYC books- also they're dumb but the noir books by borough are kinda entertaining. Try Queens Noir if that's what you're looking for.

Also Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. Unforgettable read and I think the paint factory he briefly works in is in Queens.

I really didn't like longfellow's translation. I would suggest john ciardi's. It preserves a lot of the form and contains notes at the end of each canto that help to clarify. Ciardi precedes each Canto with a summary of the plot, and follows each with footnotes, which are very helpful to understanding. Sometimes though this can break up the flow of the poem.
