Flushing Meadows

I just had a quick day in Queens on my latest NYC trip. I'm a big stadium geek, so I had to go to Shea while I was here, and I decided to make a day out of it by first going to the Queens Museum of Art in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, which is just south of the stadium. I was particularly interested in seeing the New York City Panorama, which is the largest architectural scale model in the world.

...And I did it all! Just one day, but enough to get a little taste of New York outside of Manhattan.

I grew up in Flushing - long before there were any art museums there.

Glad to see you made it out here and put some up on VT. Will check out that museum when I can. Looks interesting.
