Queens Panorama

Saturday morning at 10:30am, Goddard's Global NY!ers will be departing from the Lobby to check out Queens, Brooklyn's neighbor to the north. It is the largest of the 5 NYC boroughs (see if you can name them all by now!) and the 2nd-most populous. Noteworthy areas in Queens include:

Shea Stadium, home of the NY Mets

The Queens Panorama, a model of NYC
Jackson Heights,
Home to large Subcontinental and Hispanic communities

Astoria,
Land of the Greeks

There is so much to see, touch, taste, smell (and feel??) in Queens. All you need to do is explore. I recommend one day taking the train to Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Ave (E-F-G-R-V) or to Steinway (R) or to Astoria-Ditmars Blvd (N-W) and exploring.

What big event is happening soon in Queens??
THE JACKSON HEIGHTS FILM & FOOD FESTIVAL
It's super CHEAP, too...so check it out!
