I was stationed in Bayside, Queens. That is a nice area with views of Long Island Sound,
especially at Fort Totten where our station was located. Now it is at the Maritime Academy
at King's Point.
If you like history, Gabby, take a ride over the Tappan Zee bridge and go up US RT 9W
to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
You should do a google search for all four of those spots!

I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

Nice thought, but military academies are going to hold zero interest for a teenage girl.Originally Posted by Elessar
Now, if anyone has a recommendation for a genuine Italian restaurant that is not an overpriced tourist trap (which is what Little Italy was when we were there two years ago), feel free to make one. Same with homemade comfort food that is not a chain.

West Point has one of the finest history museums in the country, reflecting
our growth as a Nation...the struggles, conflicts and victories - things that
are largely neglected in modern 'education'.

That's fine if you come from a military family and look at things with a military prospective.
My daughter is a teenage girl who has zero interest in such things. She wants to see the crocodile and blue whale exhibits at the Museum of Natural History.
Plus, if you are an avid reader who devours books, what can top a visit to one of the world's largest book stores?
