Overview

Take the 7-train to Queens. As the train rises above ground, you’ll see the city shift, revealing a series of vibrant neighborhoods that tell a different kind of New York story.
After a short introduction to Corona we will walk to Louis Armstrong's house seeing the exhibit Here to Stay.
Then walk to Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, once home to two World’s Fairs and still full of visual clues from that era (e.g. The Unisphere). We’ll walk through the park and visit the Queens Museum, where you’ll experience the stunning Panorama of the City of New York—a massive scale model of all of NYC that’s both fascinating and moving.

After the museum, we’ll head into the heart of Corona, a neighborhood rich in culture, history, and community. You’ll learn how the area has changed over the last century, shaped by generations of Latin American immigrants and a deep sense of place. We’ll stop at the iconic Lemon Ice King of Corona, a longtime local favorite and a perfect sweet ending to the walk.
