First up: the Unisphere, located in Flushing Meadows Park (sometimes known as Flushing Meadows-Corona Park).

This led me to believe the Unisphere wasnt all that large or awe-inspiring.

I was wrong on both counts.

Walking up to this junk in person is just jaw-dropping.

The amount of negative space between all that curved steel really gets you.

The globe is so friggin big you cant even see Europe or North America.

Theres also the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center for all you aspiring Andre Agassis out there.

Just watch out for those skateboarders and bicyclists.

They generally dont care who you are or where youre standing.
