    Fun and safe trip to first time baseball game. Subway journey from Times Square was easy, busy, pretty quick and safe. Picked up cheap ($24) with good views up on 5th tier. Food good, but service slow. Family all loved the experience, but got a bit cold towards the end of the game. Overall, definitely recommend for 1st time visitors as a safe, fun, entertaining event which always had something happening...even if the Mets didn't win!

    Excellent studio/museum. Massive Muppet exhibition. tons of historical technical film equipment to see and read about. Plus lots to see from all major films. -some hands on stuff too.
    Small café serving drinks light refreshment and cakes overlooking a nice garden, garden was closed and thick snow when we went - we were lucky to be there in the snow.
    The neighbourhood is Astoria which is a nice area of Queens.

    I love wandering through this great park early on a weekday morning. The birds, the dog walkers, and the relative quiet make for a wonderful sojourn.

    I try to picture it swarming with fair goers back in the day but I actually prefer it this way.

    As you enter the park from the nearby subway station, a small concession stand serves up great food and drinks at reasonable prices.

    Our guide, Daisy, was awesome. She was informative, relatable and full of fun and evocative details about Armstrong’s life, which she conveyed with knowledge and enthusiasm. She also spoke with clarity, which we appreciated since one of us is hearing-impaired. Both the exhibit and the tour give a good sense of Louis Armstrong the man, as well as his life in historical and cultural context. Kudos to the museum and staff!

    Of all the museums in NYC, this one is by far the most valuable. (I am a member of the Met and MoMA, too.
    Isamu Noguchi's vision for the world is a much needed message for today.

    Lovely park in Astoria, NY. I was born in Astoria (50’s) and have great memories of visiting the park in the ‘60’s with family and friends, which was 50 or so years ago. We played software, ran track, and picnicked. This time my son, grandson, cousin (local native) and I visited from out of state. The park was still lovely and the views still incredible from the river. We had to watch my grandson intensely making sure he didn’t pick up anything that could pierce his skin as certain areas were trashed. Also, he used the public restroom. Thank goodness my son (size of a linebacker) went into the stall with him. My son was street smart, my grandson wasn’t.

    It's a good beach to go to. Near public transportation. Amusement areas for children are a part of several stops along the boardwalk. People from the 5 boroughs often trek to it.

    Took so many photos at Fan Week… it’s free to see players up close without the main draw fees! But a day at Wimbledon is still on my bucket list 😉

    It is well worth taking a trip to Long Island City - combine a visit to MoMA PS1 with a walk around the neighbourhood and soak in the to-die-for view of the Manhattan skyline. The museum is in the buildings of the first public school in New York (or the States? can't remember). Quirky, cutting-edge contemporary temporary exhibitions and mini 'interventions'. The cavernous, weathered building is as much a star as the exhibits in it.

    Excellent zoo a real gem.

    Very well laid out so you see everything without a lot of doubling back on yourself.

    Great value for money and a lot more animals than expected.

    Friendly and helpful staff.

    Would definitely recommend
