Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel grew up in the same predominantly Jewish neighborhood Kew Gardens Hills, Queens, New York, just three blocks away from each other.

Friends throughout childhood, the two attended Parsons Junior High School together before they both went to Forest Hills High School.

Parsons Junior High School closed in 2007 and reopened as two schools: the Robert F. Kennedy Middle School and the Queens School of Inquiry.
