HIDDEN GEM

Panorama of the City of New York

A 9,335-square-foot scale model of all five boroughs, built for the 1964 World's Fair with every building that existed in the city at the time, down to individual houses. It sits inside the Queens Museum and gets updated periodically, but plenty of New Yorkers have never seen their own block reproduced in miniature.
