Things To Do
During your time, feel free to venture to the city or stay local. You can explore Manhattan (where Ming and I did our training and we miss it so!), explore some of the best food options in Queens (Zhong-family approved), or stay around Garden City, which is pretty walkable and has some great bar and food options.
