Getting Cultural in Queens...

When I say New York you think of Manhattan right...the gleaming glass and shimmering steel of the downtown skyline, or the Empire State Building standing proud in Mid-town or even the green of Central Park. But there are 4 other boroughs and I've only explored one of them...so this weekend I decided to rectify this fact...quickly!


First stop: Queens!


With a couple of free tickets to MOMA PS1 in my pocket and no plans on a Saturday I was joined by my fabulous roommate for a trip to Long Island City in Queens.


Firstly we stepped into the retro styling of the Corner Square Diner. I loved it...obviously it's a diner!




Then we hit up MOMA PS1 which is officially the coolest art gallery in New York. It is everything a gallery should be...even the stairwells are exhibit spaces. 



The outside space - in summer I will be living here!

A room with a whole in the ceiling. Feels like walking into Narnia

Art in the stairwell

A room that plays classical music - the positioning of the speakers make it sound amazing!

A room of wool
The exhibits are so well put together I will be back again without doubt but for the moment these are a few highlights...they will make no sense but are so incredibly good!

XOXO
