Pick up a takeaway snack. The stir-fried cumin lamb biang biang noodles are hearty and keep well in a box.
17:29
Walk to Flushing Meadows–Corona Park. Find a spot on the grassy areas near the lakes. The park is large, so you have plenty of room to spread out and wait.
18:14
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the W, casting a warm glow over the park’s trees and water. Eat your snack while the light fades.
18:44
Stay for a moment in the twilight. The park is peaceful after the sun goes down, a good place to let the day settle.
Local tip
The park is open daily, but check the zoo hours if you plan to visit the zoo before or after. The zoo closes at 4:30 PM in October.
Check before you go
- Flushing Meadows–Corona Park is open all day.
- Henan Feng Wei is open until 21:00, so you have plenty of time to get your food before the walk.
