What to do and see in Queens, Queens: The Best Shopping

January 19, 2022 Roseanne Arnett

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.

Queens Botanical Garden

Queens Botanical Garden evolved from the 5-acre “Gardens on Parade” exhibit showcased at the 1939–1940 World’s Fair. Officially opening as “The Queens Botanical Garden Society” in 1946 after local residents saved and expanded the original exhibit, the Garden remained at the original World’s Fair site until 1961, when it was moved to its current location on Main Street in Flushing. Among the original plantings taken from the 1939 site are two blue atlas cedars that frame the iconic tree gate sculpture at the Garden’s Main Street entrance today. QBG has become a 39-acre oasis in one of New York City’s most bustling and diverse neighborhoods and is unlike any other botanical garden in the world. Note that hours and admissions change throughout the year: April through October: Tuesdays through Sundays, 8am to 6pm. November through March: Tuesdays through Sundays, 8am to 4:30pm. Visit www.queensbotanical.org for more information on hours, admissions, events, and programming.

Queens Center

Reviewed By Camdenbear - London, United Kingdom

My wife is super hero and Disney daft, so when she discovered the 'Hot Topic' store online, then found out there was an actual store within range of New York, she had to visit. This was a few years ago, and every visit to New York since has included a visit to Queens. The underground is fast and easy to get there, with a good selection of stores, go during the week, during the day to avoid the rush. The Shake Shack is so much calmer than the ones in Manhattan, and my wife's choice of stores has expanded to include Aerospatial and Polo now. We will be returning in 2019 and will be back again, plus the added bonus is there is a Best Buy and Target just up the road, which leads back to another station to Manhattan.
