Date: 14/04/2013

We start at the southern part of the Kissina Lake, during the morning commute of 04/10/2013.  The lake was named by Samuel Parsons, a "Beaux-Arts" landscape architect, from the Ojibwe/Chippewa phrase "it is cold", even though this First Nations group was centered around the Great Lakes, not this area.  Kissina park is home to the Queens Velodrome for cycle racing, and many other wonderful features. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kissena_Park

We continue west 

Our trip ends approaching the New York Hospital Queens (formerly Booth Memorial Hospital), 58-46 Booth Memorial Ave.  The Hospital works with the Queens Botanical Garden to develop a children's Horticultural Therapy Program and has a Steinway Grand Piano in the lobby that can be played by the public upon request.
