66 (105) Flushing
Meadow
Home to the
New York Mets baseball team, U.S. tennis open and the 1964 World's
Fair Unisphere at Corona Park.
Corona Park
The 1,200 square
acre Corona Park in Flushing Meadows is the largest park in Queens.
It was the site of 1939 and 1964 World's Fairs. Of particular interest
is the famous Unisphere, the symbol of the 1964 Fair. The park's
riches also include three lakes, the New York Hall of Science ,
the Queens Museum of Art , a golf course and a skating rink.
67 Rockefeller
Center
Art deco designed
the Rockefeller Center is the largest privately owned complex of
its kind with a glitzy interior and home to the Today Show.
 NBC
Interview with the Invisible Man :)
For over 70
years NBC has ran an historic studio tour of some of the most famous
studios including: Dateline NBC, NBC Nightly News, NBC Sports, Late
Night with Conan O'Brien, The Rosie O'Donnell Show, and Saturday
Night Live. Depending when your tour takes place you may catch a
glimpse of a show in pre-production or cross paths with a famous
NBC personality.
68 Paramount
Building
The impressive
stepped pyramid appearance of the Art Deco crowned Paramount Building
is worth the journey to see it with your own eyes. Venture inside
and you will discover the Hard Rock cafe and a concert area.
69 Museum
of Television and Radio (Paley Center)
 Don't
make ém like they used to - thankfully?
Thank you Mr.
Internet. The once interestingly named Museum of Television &
Radio (MT&R) was renamed the boring Paley Center for Media in
2007 to cater for the Internet, mobile video and podcasting. It’s
more fun than its name suggests.
There is something
for everyone at the Paley Center for Media. Relive or see for the
first time some fascinating clips from the earliest days of the
TV and radio until almost now. Early Beetles, young Elvis, sporting
classic moments, I love Lucy [whata gal], Jack Benny or early Ed
Sullivan shows, watch the first moon walk, M*A*S*H and The Sopranos.
From a collection
includes over 100,000 television and radio programs and advertisements
there must be something there you would want to watch. You get up
to two hours at a time. Individual viewing consoles are provided
so you don't have to watch the same stuff.
Free Entry
with a New
York Pass.
70 Friday
Night Blues
You can get
the blues most Friday and Saturday nights for next to nothing and
or even less at B.B King Blues Club & Grill. Arrive early as
this is not a secret. Shows normally start around 9pm but as ever
check the website for details / confirmation.
