LGA/Queens/Brooklyn
Looking for some suggestions.
I have a 90 minute event on a weekday afternoon, in April, in lower Manhattan. I'll be flying into LGA. I've done all of the Manhattan stuff.
Right now, just planning to fly in, go to the event, stay at a LGA property (Marriott, Hilton, or IHG), and leave the next morning.
However, I'll have an entire later afternoon/evening to walk around in Queens or maybe Brooklyn. And I'll use Uber/taxis.
Any can't miss things to see in Queens or Brooklyn or suggestions otherwise. If there is enough todo, I may stay an extra day.
Thanks!

Given the time of year, a visit to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden would be a good option. https://www.bbg.org/collections/cherries
The Brooklyn Museum is next door: https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/

Checking out Brooklyn and Queens is cool, too, but I assure you there is a lifetime worth of more stuff to do in Manhattan!

If you're staying near LGA and have an afternoon/evening, you can walk around Jackson Heights, Queens, and get some amazing food. Among my personal favorites are the Jackson Diner for Indian and Mustang Thakali Kitchen for Tibetan/Nepali. Both of those restaurants are right by the subway station, which is also where the Q70 bus from LGA stops. There's also a historical district in the neighborhood with many beautiful garden co-op apartment buildings - that makes for a pleasant walk, assuming the weather is decent.
You can also take a short ride on the 7 train from Jackson Heights to Flushing to get amazing Chinese food.
