NYC Traveler - Queens Museum , Queens New York
The Queens Museum, formerly the Queens Museum of Art, is an art museum and educational center located in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in the borough of Queens in New York City, United States. The museum is housed in the New York City Building, which was built for the 1939 New York World's Fair, and which then hosted the United Nations General Assembly from 1946 to 1950. The museum itself was founded in 1972, and has among its permanent exhibitions, the Panorama of the City of New York, a room-sized scale model of the five boroughs originally built for the 1964 New York World's Fair, and repeatedly updated since then. It also has a large archive of artifacts from both World's Fairs, a selection of which is on display.

The museum is known for international contemporary art exhibitions that reflect the hyper-diversity of the borough. The museum's Education Department is the first in America to employ art therapists in a dedicated, fully accessible classroom, while the Public Events department has hired community organizers to work on local improvement initiatives.
Employing a multifaceted strategy of outreach, the Queens Museum is simultaneously a fine arts collecting museum, historical site, community center, and educational classroom.

From Wikipedia:
Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, often referred to as Flushing Meadows Park, or simply Flushing Meadows, is a public park in the northern part of Queens, New York City. It contains the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, the current venue for the US Open tennis tournament; Citi Field, the home of the New York Mets baseball team; the New York Hall of Science; the Queens Museum of Art; the Queens Theatre in the Park; the Queens Zoo; and the New York State Pavilion. It formerly contained Shea Stadium, demolished in 2009.
Flushing Meadows–Corona Park was created as the site of the 1939/1940 New York World's Fair and also hosted the 1964/1965 New York World's Fair. The park is bounded by I-678 (Van Wyck Expressway) on the east, Grand Central Parkway on the west, Flushing Bay on the north, and Union Turnpike on the south. Flushing Meadows–Corona Park is the fourth-largest public park in New York City, with a total area of 897 acres (363 ha). Until the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks) conducted a survey of New York City park areas in 2013, the park was believed to be 1,255 acres (508 ha) in size.
It is owned and maintained by NYC Parks. Private, non-profit groups such as the Flushing Meadows–Corona Park Conservancy and the Alliance for Flushing Meadows–Corona Park provide additional funds, services, and support. The park is at the eastern edge of the area encompassed by Queens Community Board 4.

Modern Ruin: The New York State Pavilion
Originally built and used as a cultural space for the 1964/65 World’s Fair, the New York State Pavilion in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens is currently abandoned. With a hope to change this, Matthew Silva and Salmaan Khan co-founded People for the Pavilion, a nonprofit advocacy organization dedicated to developing a vibrant community around the Pavilion, to raise awareness about the structure. Silva and Khan tell their story and showcase the trailer to Silva’s 2015 documentary, Modern Ruin.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 1964 NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR CANTINFLAS HENRY FONDA 51574 MD
This color film highlighting the 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows Park, Queens, New York was taken from the opening night presentation on the NBC Network, April 22, 1964. It’s narrated by Henry Fonda (:22), Marion Anderson (:28), Lorne Greene (:30), Carol Channing (:33), Cantinflas (:36), and Fred MacMurray (:39). It was produced by NBC for United States Steel (:46), which manufactured the 12-stories-high Unisphere (:50), a replica can be seen in Epcot, Disney World. Henry covers the transportation pavilions. The Gondola Ride gave attendees a bird’s eye pass over the park (1:03-2:03). Fred took us on a ride in a Mustang convertible on the Magic Skyway of the Ford Pavilion (3:13), passing Walt Disney (3:17) doing the same. This ride showcases man’s history (3:26-4:25). The Avis Car Ride lets visitors drive an antique reproduction around the track (4:35-4:44). Chrysler featured a ride through a 100-foot engine (4:50-5:23). General Motors provided a Futurama 2 ride (5:32-7:58). Lorne takes over at the highest point is an observation tower at the New York Pavilion (8:25-9:03). Join the band as it marches through the individual state pavilions (9:15-11:20). Florida features a dolphin and seal show (11:21-11:50) and Hawaii has dancers and flame twirlers (11:53-12:39). The seats of the People Wall are lifted into the grandstand in the IBM Pavilion (13:43). Carol Channing sings a rundown of the Fair (14:11-17:03). The Bell System Floating Wing Pavilion has various activities (17:08) and General Electric sponsors The Carousel of Progress (17:25-18:38), a rotating stage now at Disney World. Eastman Kodak provided fun for kids (18:39-19:03). NCR provided a giant abacus (19:05-19:14). RCA placed 200 closed-circuit TVs around the fairgrounds, which included broadcasting lost children (19:30-20:13). In 1939, Westinghouse buried the time capsules to be opened in 6939, its contents mostly microfilm plus a Bible. Another capsule will be buried when the 1964 Fair closes (20:14-20:59). Faith pavilions include Mormon (21:01), Billy Graham (21:05), American Israeli (21:08), Russian Orthodox (21:12), Christian Science (21:15), Protestant Unorthodox (21:17), and The Vatican (21:20). Marion Anderson leads the Westminster and Columbus Boy’s Choirs as The Pieta! by Michelangelo, made in 1499 out of a block of white marble, is shown on display in the Vatican Pavilion (21:36-23:10). The International area hosts 66 nations (23:22-24:00).

Eastern edge of Flushing Meadows--Corona Park to The Unisphere
This video shows the route from the eastern edge of Flushing Meadows-Corona Park to The Unisphere. It was recorded on the morning commute of April 22, 2013. Turn on subtitles for turn-by-turn directions and park information.
Flushing Meadows--Corona Park is the home to the Playground for All Children, the Queens Theatre in the Park, the Queens Museum of Art, the Queens Wildlife Center, and the New York Hall of Science.
0:00:00 Begin on the sidwalk on the west side of the intersection of College Point Blvd. and Booth Memorial Ave.
0:00:15 Ride north on the sidewalk (mind the poor paving) and make the first left into the park, onto Fowler Path.
0:00:50 Make a slight left onto Avenue of Discovery 0.1 mi. The intersection ahead has car traffic without a stop sign so be careful.
0:01:41 Make a right onto Promenade of Industry (around Industry Pond) 0.1 mi
0:02:40 Turn right onto Herbert Hoover Promenade 0.2 mi
0:03:22 Make a slight turn around Astronaut Court and continue toward The Unisphere 0.2 mi
Flushing Meadows-Corona Park is currently the second largest park in New York (only behind Pelham Bay Park), though much of the usable land has been given to the MTA, private sport areanas, and other institutions. In the 1920's this land was the Corona Ash Dumps (coal-furnaces being the primary source of heat in houses) and was described as a valley of ashes in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. The area was cleared for the 1939/1940 World's Fair, with much of the refuse being used as fill for the construction of the Van Wyck Expressway, Interboro Parkway and Long Island Expressway.
The Playground for All Children (at the south-west of the Unisphere) was the first playground constructed in the United States for disabled and able-bodied children. City Agencies and advocacy groups for the disabled worked together to design a space to encourage social, cognitive, sensory and motor activity for children ages 3 to 12. The Gardenature and Nature Crafts Program teach children simple methods of conservation, the Arts and Crafts Program is designed to enhance self-expression and creativity, and The Sensitization Program helps able-bodied children better understand disabilities.
The Queens Theatre in the Park was originally the Theaterama during its use in the 1964 World's Fair. The space included observation towers and the Tent of Tomorrow, an open-air pavilion. It was originally decorated with art from artists including Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana. Audiences watched a 360 degree film about New York State history in a cycloramic (circular) room. The Cultural Institutions Group (nonprofit operators of the theater since 1997) focuses on productions that reflect the diverse nature of Queens, including a Latin American festival. The Queens Theatre hosts a variety of performance types, from Broadway revivals and new productions, to film festivals, performance art showcases, concerts and children's events.

Manhattan Psychiatric Center Seen From East River
I shot this video of the Manhattan Psychiatric Center while I was a passenger on the Circle Line cruise ship in June 2014. It's located at on 125th Street on Wards Island in New York City. As of 2009, it was licensed for 509 beds, but held only around 200 patients. The current building is 17-stories tall.The hospital's roots date to 1848 when Wards Island was designated the reception area for immigrants. I also recognized it because I had recently seen the movie Side Effects, in which it appeared. The movie featured Jude Law, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Rooney Mara.

Flushing, Queens
Flushing is a neighborhood in the north-central part of the New York City borough of Queens, in the United States. While much of the neighborhood is residential, Downtown Flushing, centered on the northern end of Main Street, is a large commercial and retail area and is the fourth largest central business district in New York City.
Flushing's diversity is reflected by the numerous ethnic groups that reside there, including people of Asian, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, European, and African American ancestry. It is part of the Fifth Congressional District, which encompasses the entire northeastern shore of Queens County, and extends into neighboring Nassau County. Flushing is served by five railroad stations on the Long Island Rail Road Port Washington Branch, as well as the New York City Subway's IRT Flushing Line, which has its terminus at Main Street. The intersection of Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue is the third busiest intersection in New York City, behind Times and Herald Squares.
