Hey...Mets finally take one from the Braves. Looks like we will stay in second place...for now anyways.

Greetings Mets Lovers,

I will be attending the Mets vs Cardinals game on Tuesday July 27th. Are there any fun/must do at Citifield or near the stadium?

Thanks,

Jon

I've not been there yet, but it is my understanding that Citi itself is pretty much a baseball museum alone, so unless you have more that a few hours to kill you need not leave the premises. Plus, there are plenty of restaurants and higher-end concessions for you to get your nosh on. Otherwise, the USTA Tennis Center and the old World's Fair grounds are nearby (or what little the alien from Men In Black left standing ), but Astoria ain't really Manhattan, brother.

There are no must do things near the stadium. As the poet said, the USTC is nearby, but will be a complete waste of time. You would be better served looking at it from the concourse of Citi Field. There is also Flushing Meadows Corona Park. It's a nice park, but after you've seen one squirrel you've seen them all. Belmont Park is nearby, but may be dark on Tuesday's.

Some nearby attractions are the
Queens Zoo

N.Y. Hall Of Science

& The Queens Museum
http://www.queensmuseum.org/

If you Don't have kids the museum is your best bet for something to do. With kids the hall of science is great.

Another option is Tailgating. This is never a problem when we go, Though the cops have been extra hard on us with the beer this year (cutting down on my heckling abilities). Put Beer in some red Solo Cups and keep the cans or bottles out of sight in the trunk and you'll be fine.

Do you plan on driving or taking the train?
#7 takes you to the stadium.

PM me if you need more help with directions or other places around Queens
