10 Things to do Good for Couples in Queens That You Shouldn't Miss
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.

3. Louis Armstrong House Museum
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 191 reviews
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.
4. Gantry Plaza State Park

Gantry Plaza State Park is located in Long Island City in Queens and is a great park with a lot of family-friendly activities with a dog park, sand volleyball, dining, open spaces, and with some of the best views of the Manhattan skyline, especially at sunset. There is also a ferry that goes across to Manhattan, but is also conveniently located near a couple of subway stops. Entrance to the park is free. It's a former dockyards so it is interesting to see how they have repurposed the area into something everyone can use. There is free parking located nearby on the street.

9. 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.
10. Rockaway Beach

Long Island beach in Queens borough that can be reached by subway. Popular destination for New Yorkers in mid-20th century, still pleasant to visit.
Reviewed By gnaturecenter - Cheshire, United States
I have lived in Belle Harbor and Rockaway almost all my life. The Beach is a free one. Parking in the higher numbers is difficult. Best to come by ferry or mass transit. Further down, there are food services, bathrooms and ba nice boardwalk.
