Beautiful building in Queens organizing a very well conducted and commented tour as well as many activities to the children of the neighborhood
This beautiful 1862 building was for many years the home of Flushing City Hall. The city decided to demolish it when it was no longer needed. But an association was created and initiated the project of the Council of Culture and the Arts which allowed to save the building and to provide it with a beautiful working tool. The goal of this association of very active residents is to promote Queens and its heritage but also to insert itself in the community as a vector of culture and education. Many activities are offered to the children of the neighborhood (piano contest, etc). The Town Hall has a strong interest in music, mainly jazz, and frequently holds exhibitions on the subject, and many musicians from the neighbourhood come to help out. There are also jazz and classical concerts. You can also explore Queens in a beautiful turn-of-the-century bus by signing up for one of the association's tours. And on some first Saturdays of the month, it's the Jazz Trail (check the website because the tours are not organized all year long). Because Queens is a borough of jazzmen, many of its most prestigious representatives (Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong) have lived and worked there. You will discover the houses of these glorious artists, the reference clubs, the museums that speak about it, etc. A very well conducted tour with commentary, sometimes in French. An unforgettable journey through time for jazz lovers and others.
