Did you think the end of those warm summer days meant an end to exciting days out and about in the borough? You should know better.

Queens has loads of places brimming with cultural vigor. From museums and galleries to multiethnic eats, a person could spend a day edifying themselves silly around here. And that’s where we come in.

We’ve come up with more than 20 of our favorite ways to enjoy Queens Culture on the cooler days, and compiled them all into one handy compendium of cultural stimulation. Inside, you’ll be able to find activities to fit any schedule, from a full day’s outing at our biggest museums to leisurely lunch breaks at art havens you never knew existed. And since Queens is the most culturally diverse place on the planet, we’ve included an occasional heads-up on great ethnic cuisine to sample as you explore.
