Queens just as bad as Long Island, the primary reason being that we lived on an island - everything had to cross at least 2 waterways to get to us so increased shipping costs were passed down to us.
That said, I was surprised at the cost of food down here, too, especially fish and produce. I counter that with the lower costs of electricity and fuel, so it's probably a wash.
