Is Douglaston A Hot Bed of Infidelity?

A new study says Douglaston, Forrest Hills and Great Neck are the choice spots for extramarital affairs.

Wonder what transpires behind closed doors in Douglaston? Tons of extramarital affairs, according to a story in the New York Post. 

The tabloid reported the findings of a study by AshleyMadison.com, an online site that bills itself as "the world's leading married dating service for discreet encounters."

And when it comes to infidelity, Great Neck was number one, outranking anywhere else in the metropolitan region. Forest Hills came in at number four, and Douglaston at lucky number seven.
