1. US Open
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 166 reviews
Each year in the week before and after Labor Day, all eyes in the tennis world are on the USA for the prestigious US Open tournament. The last of the four major international events in professional tennis, the stakes are high, particularly if any home court players or teams are closing in on a 'Grand Slam' win at all four events. Ticket prices run up into the thousands for the most coveted seats, but for a die-hard fan, it is worth it for the chance to see the top athletes in the sport up close.

No Roger Federer but had a wonderful time. Staff were helpful, beautiful grounds and lots to see and explore.
Merchandise were limited as most sold out before...
Transport to and from was easy with the subway! Good food and drinks!
I'll be back in 2018 to see Roger!
2. Louis Armstrong House Museum
Overall Ratings
5 based on 153 reviews
The legacy of the legendary jazz instrumentalist and vocalist, Louis Armstrong, is preserved at this Queens museum.
Reviewed By Samiha A - Brooklyn, New York
Visiting this museum was a very sweet and informative experience. A guided tour (offered in Spanish, too) is required, but will give you a very intimate glance into Armstrong and his wife Lucille's life in their humble house. From original furniture to audio recordings of the couple themselves telling stories of each room, you'll feel like you're walking around the home of a really cool relative that you really like.
3. The Centurion Lounge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 77 reviews
Reviewed By oceanpalace - Dallas, Texas
Located in the same pre-security Terminal B area as that terminal's food court, you navigate to the 2nd floor and then take the elevator one more up to the 3rd floor. This actually helps weed out the riff-raff. Entry is free for Platinum and Centurion Amex members; fee-based for all other Amex card holders.
Once inside, you are offered complimentary gourmet food and alcohol / wine / coffee / tea / cappucino / latte. The food entrees are excellent - for this month of September there was tender fried chicken and pork tenderloin.
The seating areas offer a very nice oasis from the hectic hustle/bustle of the airport. This is especially valued during the seemingly-never-ending LGA construction. You will really be able to de-stress here for however long you would like to stay.
Free WiFi, and large TV screens along one of the walkways. Note that this is not a large lounge, and can get crowded during peak times.

This is one of my favorite parks in New York.
Astoria Park offers activities for everyone. It has basketball courts, tennis courts, running tracks, playgrounds and even an outdoor swimming pool for the summer.
It’s great for children, dogs and adults. Definitely a must see in Astoria!
5. Queens Center

I do not frequent this Shopping Center often, but the couple of times I've been here it has been a positive experience.
There are areas where if weary one can sit and rest while munching on a snack or sipping a beverage.
Plenty of stores to go and browse, department stores like Macy's and JCPenney., smaller niche stores.
My favorite, the Apple Store. The wait is long sometimes, but that usually happens for service in every Apple Store no matter the location.
This time I only had a question about a purchase receipt from Apple. I was told as soon as I showed the agent the email that it was not from Apple, but a scam. Beware!
Parking is expensive by Queens standards, yet convenient.
Generally, two hours is spent per visit.
Until the next time!

Reviewed By AsISeeThem - New York
I've been here twice in the past week and really enjoyed walking around looking at the old buildings. Unfortunately, some of the old buildings didn't receive any upkeep and are collapsing.
There are softball & soccer fields, people jogging. I didn't see any dogs, don't know if they're prohibited.
All in all, a good place to stroll around, have a picnic or sit on a bench and look out over the water.
7. Cinemart Cinemas
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 61 reviews
Reviewed By Donald S - New York City, New York
This is a fairly small neighborhood theater. It was renovated not long ago and offers comfortable leather recliners with a lot of space between rows. If you can get the front row, go for it. It is like being in a private theater. The restroom are clean. Typical movie goer fare. It is located on Metropolitan Avenue in Forest Hills near a wide variety of coffee shops and restaurants. The theater does not have parking so you may have to hunt around a bit. Plan on a two block walk since there is more parking at that distance from Metropolitan - especially to the south. Very reasonable prices as well.

Must go. Took my teenage daughters. Pay 50 to use facility, receive small towel, wrist band and locker. Charge services to your wristband. Steam, sauna come in different variations. 4 pools (3 outdoor and heated tonite even in cold weather) with jets to sooth every bodY part. Bar and food. Though, do not get excited about the Korean food. Packaged Ramen.
Not cheap. 100 for massage for an hour.
Clean and well run.
If you are feeling adventurous, get naked, go into (single sex) naked room, enjoy pools and infrared room and have a scrub and massage amongst the other naked ladies and black-indie clad masseuses.
Loved it.

I am a Yankee fan but I must admit, Citifield is a great structure and in some ways better than the new Yankee stadium. They have great seating and wonderful food vendors. Go Mets?
