The 10 Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Queens, Queens
Queens is the most ethnically diverse area of its size on Earth, which means there's a little something for everyone. Chow down on Indian food, sit in on a traditional Irish pub music session, and dance the night away at a Puerto Rican nightclub, all of it located within a few subway stops. Queens is also the home of the Mets and the US Tennis Open, and the former home of the New York World's Fair, now Flushing Meadow-Corona Park, and Paramount Pictures, now the Museum of the Moving Image.

2. Louis Armstrong House Museum

The legacy of the legendary jazz instrumentalist and vocalist, Louis Armstrong, is preserved at this Queens museum.
Reviewed By christopherbO9687MP - Acton, United States
I enjoyed visiting the Louis Armstrong home for its fine collection of memorabilia (he tended to collect a lot of music-related artifacts during his many trips) and because his wife made sure the house remained pretty much as it was furnished when he passed away in 1971. Many of the rooms have the decor that was popular in the 1960s & 1970s (the kitchen was a classic from that era). Interesting to both music fans and architecture fans will be Louis' restored den, which is laid out as the miniature recording studio he used for the last years of his life. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Armstrong's overall life history and his impact on the American & international jazz scene. The gift shop has a lot of historic Armstrong recordings available. Note a much larger Louis Armstrong Museum welcome center (the existing house will remain pretty much as it is) is under construction to hold all of his historic artifacts; fans might want to wait until 2020 when that Center opens.

6. Noguchi Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 194 reviews
Thirteen galleries and an outdoor sculpture garden are the settings for the wide collection of art work by Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988.)
Reviewed By Chi2me - Chicago, United States
Noguchi is iconic and now, for me, so is his museum. Really worth a trip. The open air parts coupled with the sculpture garden and gift shop make it truly unique. Then walk out the door to the Socrates Sculpture park and you're good to go.
7. Museum of the Moving Image
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 698 reviews
The only museum in the United States that is devoted exclusively to the history, art and technology of movies, television and video.
Reviewed By travels_galaxy - San Miguel de Cozumel, Mexico
This place is worth visiting just to see the Jim Henson exhibit. Original muppets from the Muppet Show (Ms Piggy, Kermit the Frog and the Swedish Chef) We visited last April, and they also had a history of sports video games, from pong to modern eSports (and everything in between). Definitely a good museum option in a city full of museums.
8. Hindu Temple Society of North America

Reviewed By rimstravels - Pune, India
Ganesha temple in Flushing New York has more to offer than it looks from outside. Very Peaceful and calm houses a traditional Ganesha murti along with many other idols of Goddess and God. It was a beautiful visit for us on a very cold day. Very close to traditions and Hindu faith. I have to mention the Temple Canteen, which serves absolutely delicious vegetarian food in a Udupi style. You can have absolutely lip-smacking dosa and idiyappam. If in that area, it is a must recommended visit, if you want to know about the Hindu faith.
