LaGuardia Landing Lights park’s surround this apartment. While still being in New York City, enjoy the serene yet exciting local nature. Here, I love picnicking, playing with my dogs, and watching planes land. In the wintertime, some of these parks decorate their trees with festive lights. Take a short 30-second to 5 minute walk to these parks to watch planes land up close.

This one speaks for itself. Whether you want to experience nature, watch otters and geese float down the East River, take a dip in the park pool, skate at skate park, run around a track, or simply see Manhattan from across the river, Astoria Park has it all. I love hosting arts and crafts picnics here with my friends or even by myself. Pro-tip: walk on the path along the water and you’ll find an opening to sit right on the rocks and water (do this at your own risk!). Walk outside the park to experience authentic restaurants and New York natives. In the summer, you can always find locals playing a volleyball at one of the nearby courts or people and dogs bonding at the dog park under the Triboro bridge. To get here, hop on the local Q69 bus or take a 5 minute car ride.

Food scene
This place is a New York City hidden gem. By far my favorite (and the best) bakery in all of New York. This authentic French bakery is only found in Queens and is led by an impressive crew. The almond croissants and chocolate mousse cakes are next level. The best part about this place is the location. After enjoying some desserts, stop by Bistro Eloise next door (an authentic French restaurant) for a meal or venture around the nearby open fields. To get here it’s a short 10 minute walk.

Local Kitchen is one of my favorite spots to grab a quick bite from. Not only is their food delicious and reasonably priced but their values are where they really stand out. They support local family farms committed to sustainable, organic practices. All their food is fresh, vibrant, and made of clean ingredients. In their words, this all makes for good food, and good food enjoyed in a fun and happy space can make your corner of the world just that much better. I recommend anything from here but especially the lemon herb chicken wrap, the chicken parmesan sandwich, and the margherita pizza, and the seasoned potato fries.
