Take a day... #100daysofNYC

"But where in New York can one find a woman with grace, elegance, taste and culture? A woman suitable for a king."

"QUEENS!"

-Coming to America

I decided to embrace The prince's desires and head to Queens! I hit up a couple museums and headed over to Flushing Meadows Corona Park to see the site of the 1964 NY World's Fair. 

My first stop was The Museum of the Moving Image. I have to say, this is probably one of my favorite museums in the city! It's soooo cool! Currently, they are doing an exhibit on Chuck Jones and his animation. They also permanently have sections devoted to each role in film making, from writing to performance. A huge surprise was the devotion to video games. I actually sat down and played the original Mario Bros! I embraced my childhood... In the midst of the Chuck Jones exhibit, they had the classic Beep, Beep from 1951 and I plopped down with the kiddos and watched it :)

Dedicated to the portrait photographer. Classic actors and their iconic portraits. 

Soundtracks and scores... Albums from the classics. 

Classic games and toys from the 50's and 60's. 

Just a couple of the classic video arcade games :)

Kaufman Studios. Currently recording Orange is the New Black. 

Just the beauty that is Queens :)

The second museum was Queens Museum. It hosts the iconic Panorama of the five boroughs. If you watched New Years Eve, this is where Zac Efron takes Michelle Pfeiffer to walk all five boroughs in a day. Little fact: he must really have some pull because you can't really walk out on it, lol. I wish you could see it in the photos, but it's really hard... At Laguardia Airport, there's a plane that is on very thin wire that lands and takes off. Amazing!

The Queens Museum is located in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, which also is home to the grounds of the NY Worlds Fair. It was amazing walking around. The Unisphere is used in Men in Black; the iconic New York State Pavilion by Philip Johnson, and the observatory towers. 

Go to Queens! Spend the day! It's worth it! Great borough!! I'm gonna miss this city :)
