Travers Park is the green heart of Jackson Heights—one of the most diverse neighborhoods on earth—and on summer Sundays its performance area hosts free entertainment for the community. Surrounded by the area's car-free open streets, food and families, it's a warm, neighborhood-rooted way to spend a Sunday afternoon. If you want to experience Queens at its most local and welcoming, this free park series is a lovely, low-key pick.
