A must visit place in New York City - Gantry Plaza Park at Vernon Boulevard at Jackson Avenue

I grew up in New York City. The city itself has so much to offer and so many places to go. But out of all the places in New York City my favorite one is the Gantry Plaza Park at Vernon Boulevard. I have seen this place being built from the scratch. It is by far the most beautiful place in Queens, New York. It is 10 minutes drive from the Astoria, Queens and located right next to the 59th Bridge. Vernon Blvd is an urban area of Queens. Many people sees Queens as an Ancient Greek county and some will say that Queens isn't like Manhattan because there is nothing to see. But these people will change their view of Queens if they visit Gantry Plaza Park at Vernon Boulevard. It is located right next to the Hudson river across the magnificent Manhattan skyline.

Vernon Blvd has four man made pier that is not only open during the day but also open at night. You can lay down the chairs and enjoy the sun during the day and watch the city at night. I wouldn't be able to describe in words how beautiful the place is. There are few classy restaurants right next to the park. You can have lunch or dinner while enjoying the river view and Manhattan skyline including the Empire State building and the United Nations. There is also a mist fountain and manicured garden. The place is also good for dating as it is nice and quiet and beautiful. I have seen many wedding to take place. Parking is always available. The neighborhood is clean, educated and very welcoming. Weather you want a place for a date, wedding or even simply to read a book the Gantry Plaza park is the best in my opinion.
