Things To Do
Flushing Meadows
FMCP is one of the city's most iconic parks, and the site of two twentieth century World's Fairs. You can play soccer, baseball, tennis, volleyball, cricket and more; explore the park's lakes and trails by foot, bike, or kayak; or visit one of the park's many cultural and civic institutions including: Queens Botanical Garden, New York Hall of Science, Queens Zoo, Queens Museum, Queens Theater, and Citi Field. The park's main attraction, the iconic Unisphere, is a great place to pose for pics before heading to our ceremony!
Forest Park
Right next door to My Kitchen is Forest Park, a scenic 'off the beaten path' woodland area with more than 500+ acres of hiking trails, bridle paths, and athletic spaces for softball, baseball, tennis, bocce, and handball. There is also a 110-acre, par 67 golf course with a reputation as one of the City’s most challenging.
MoMA PS1
Founded in 1971, PS1's main purpose was to organize art shows. A few years later, a permanent gallery opened in Long Island City. Now, a collaboration with MoMa in 2001 established MoMA PS1 as a creative space fostering innovative contemporary art incorporating photography, technology, and performance. If you are visiting on a Saturday in the summer, be ready to tap your feet to live music in the museum's courtyard during the Warm Up music series. In its 20-year run, the summer series had a lineup of top artists like Black Dice, Lizzo, and Cardi B perform.
Queens Botanical Garden
The 39-acre oasis in the middle of Queens presents visitors with 25 wonderful gardens to experience. The Queens Botanical Garden in Flushing first came into being during the 1939-1940 World's Fair as the "Gardens on Parade" exhibit and has expanded to now contain several gardens worth exploring on your outing to Queens. Take a nice stroll in the warmer weather and admire the Oak Allee, annual and perennial beds, arboretum, herb garden, bee garden, and ornamental grass garden, among others. The essence of the flowers and shrubs in the Fragrance Garden provides a beautiful olfactory experience, for kids and adults alike.
