Guidebook for Queens
Food Scene
Sek'end Sun (a great, hip bar/restaurant in its own right) hosts "Stellar Brews" during daylight hours and their COFFEE is super artisanal and delicious! Also beautiful place to hang out during the day if you have a bit of work to do and want a change of environment. Highly recommend the mocha - they use chocolate from a chocolatier that only provides for them! Great group of people. Insider's tip: don't be in a hurry - it takes time to make coffee drinks this delicious!

Arts & Culture
Brilliant, state of the art museum dedicated to filmmaking, located just a ten minute walk from the apartment, and across from the famous Kaufman Studios. They have fantastic screenings and exhibitions, and a wonderful interactive floor where you get to go into little rooms and set score to picture, try your hand at "looping," and better understand the magic of the movies!

Lovely small indie bookshop five minutes from the house. Great gifts and some local souvenirs, but mostly just a fantastic bookshop where you're sure to find something fabulous to take on the subway with you.

Entertainment & Activities
Wonderful small yoga studio a six minute walk from the apartment. Most classes are just $8 (includes matt rental), and there are two classes a day that are donation based pay-what-you-wish! (the 7am and 2pm usually, but check the schedule). Teachers vary but it is always a lovely, grounding experience - and sometimes transcendent. Fantastic late night candle lit classes avail.
