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.

Citi Field, the home field of the New York Mets, is one of the most gorgeous baseball stadiums of Major League Baseball (MLB). My wife and I have attended multiple New York Mets baseball games at Citi Field and we have enjoyed each of our experiences at the stadium. The seats are quite comfortable and provide fans great access and views of the Mets players and the baseball game. My wife and I found the food selection to be tasty and superb, appreciated the support and service provided by the stadium’s staff, and we also enjoyed visiting the New York Mets Hall Of Fame & Museum. All in all, my wife and I had a wonderful baseball experiences at Citi Field, and look forward to the day when the threat of COVID 19 ends and when Citi Field opens it doors to fans again.

Great lil zoo- perfect outdoor activity during covid- spent about an hour and a half. We went on Friday at 3:30 pm and pretty much had the zoo all to ourselves. Bought a pre-timed ticket online. Staff were very nice. Beautifully landscaped. Especially enjoyed the aviary - beautiful parrots! Other highlights were the alligators, bears and warthog. Little petting zoo had lots of ducks, goats, and alpacas. Didn't have quarters or would have fed the cutie animals who were all giving us longing eyes. Parked (free) near the globe inside Flushing Meadow Park and quick 7 minute walk to the zoo.

Free. Scheduled a timed entry just to used bathroom. Turns out to be lovely! The New York panorama is wonderful. My 7 year old son enjoyed, we used the audio guides via the QR code on the walkways which were super helpful. Loved the Tiffany glass art exhibit. Wish they had the explanatory video playing in an area where you could sit and watch it in its entirety! Bathrooms super clean.

Great hands on science museum. There are exhibits that all will find interesting, something for everyone in the family. Go outdoor to view space rockets, Don’t miss a peak at the great hall. It’s a beautiful space, with unique windows...it’s just wonderful...and a great place to hold a special event. There are interesting performers and events throughout the year. Go for a stroll in the park too.

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.

8. New World Mall

When you enter the New World Mall it has several floors with retail stores and a robust Asian supermarket. The foodcourt is located on the lower level of the mall. This is the hidden gem of the mall. There you will find a wide array of stalls with a diverse selection of authentic Asian cuisine where the locals come to eat. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT MUST IF NOT ALL VENDORS TAKE CASH ONLY. Towards the very back of the foodcourt tucked away in the corner is stall L25. We have traveled throughout Asia and outside of Asia, eating dumplings, while not Asian, we feel we know sufficient general knowledge to be able to identify a good dumpling. These dumplings are very good. The ladies prepare them fresh and the ingredients are delicious. The price point is extremely reasonable allowing you to purchase them if nothing else to get a taste for them. I do not believe you will be disappointed. Please note that these are traditional dumplings so they are "boiled" not fried. The ladies are very hard working, you get the added bonus of being able to watch them do their special technique of creating the dumpling. They are very nice and provide excellent customer service. We will definitely be going back when in town again. We loved the experience.
