Things to see and do New York, Queens

This museum only exhibits temporary exhibitions of African and Afro-American art. Two floors are devoted to the regional arts where the exhibitions are presented in thematic, cultural or political form. They are always very varied and offer paintings, sculptures, masks and sacred objects. Compared to other ethnic museums, it presents both traditional and ancient works as well as contemporary works. The museum shop sells various crafts and crafts in relation to the current expo.

Less frequented and cleaner than those on Coney Island in Brooklyn, Rockaway Beach is also the favorite spot for surfers. Surf shops, beach bars, large white wooden houses, you will find a real seaside town atmosphere, less tourists. Good plan! The good news is that you can get there by ferry for a small fee from Manhattan, using one of the boats on the NYC Ferry city network. By the way, Rockaway Beach is known as the "Irish Riviera" because it has a large Irish-American population.

Visiting the Hall of Science or the Queens Museum gives you the opportunity to take a walk in the huge Flushing Meadows wooded park, which houses the Unisphere, a steel globe built for the 1964-1965 World Expo. During the visit, we take the opportunity to see the tennis courts of the US Open, go boating on the lake, and wish Latin Americans a good appetite as they prepare some barbecue grills. An original experience.

Don't miss the view of Manhattan, the UN and the Chrysler Building from the banks of the East River south of Long Island City, from Gantry Plaza State Park. In addition to its exceptional panoramic view, this park is a true haven of tranquility. You come to enjoy its long walk by the water, picnic on its lawns, rest on its deckchairs... Not to be missed: the Pepsi-Cola sign, a relic from the time when the area housed a bottling plant for the famous soft drink, which closed in 1999.
