A few weeks ago Jordan and I had an adventure at Flushing Meadows Park. Not knowing what we were going to do that day, we got in the car and found ourselves at the Queens Museum. They were in between exhibits but we took the opportunity to look at the panorama. The panorama is a to scale duplication of Manhattan and the surrounding boroughs. It was built for the Worlds Fair in 1964 and remains part of the permanent collection at the art museum. If you are ever in Queens check it out.
After our short trip to the art museum it was our intention to find the carousel and take a ride. We have ridden on the carousel in the past and it is a fun ride. However we got sidetracked as we noticed there was something happening in the park. It was the Korean Harvest Festival.
There were lots of vendors for packaged goods, banking services, trips to casinos, and kimchee. There were also some really awesome food vendors. We had terrific dumplings, some kind of traditional bread (I said it was like a Korean soft pretzel), the best corn on the cob I had all year, and some korean bbq. We didn't leave the park hungry.
It was funny because we saw lots of small dogs in the park and many were in outfits. We saw a couple of dogs being walked in a stroller.
If you can catch Korean Harvest Day next year, I highly recommend it!
