This is the perfect place if you're going to Mets games: a short walk to Citi Field across Flushing Meadows Corona Park (site of the 1939 and 1964 World's Fairs, and of the Queens Museum, with its amazing 3D panorama of the five boroughs). Also a short walk away is downtown Flushing (think Chinatown without tourists, but with spectacularly good and varied food). Oh! And and it's very near the lovely Queens Botanical Park as well.
