Best & Cool Science and Space Museums in Edison

"Hands-on exhibits bring science, technology, engineering, and math to life at the New York Hall of Science, another holdover from the 1964 World’s Fair. Don’t miss the Science Playground, the preschool area for little ones, and the Sports Challenge exhibit that shows how physics and mathematics are involved in everyday sports like basketball. If it’s hot out, hit the outdoor playground that’s full of water features and science-oriented, wet fun."

"Corona, QueensOne thing Manhattan lacks is a bona fide science museum, but if you’re on the hunt for tech, engineering and math activities, make the trip to the 111th Street 7 Train stop for the NYSCI. It has been educating and entertaining visitors since the World’s Fair in 1964, and now houses more than 450 exhibits.Adults $20, children $15"

"Museum of Illusions is one of the best New York City attractions for families. It is a small two-storey interactive museum, close to the High Line or the Whitney Museum. It is the perfect NYC attraction for teenagers as well, as there is an element of participation and cool factor in almost every exhibit."

"Located in Midtown, Sony Wonder Lab is an interactive science and technology center where visitors can play with the latest technologies and discover how electronics are used in daily life and various professions, including health and medicine, environmental engineering, computer technology, and entertainment. It is a great place for children between 8 - 12, and even fun to visit for adults. Do you know what’s the best part?"

"7th Avenue Donuts & Diner has been operating 24 hours a day for more than 40 years and still maintains the family-owned coffee shop and diner feel. The shop’s hand-made doughnuts are made every day with the same Hobart mixer that was used on day one. Bonus: You can leave the shop with a baker’s dozen for just $8.65."

"Open since 1977, this low-key diner is a favorite of long-time Park Slopers. While the food isn’t going to win any awards in the near future, it will definitely soak up all that booze from the night before. Plus, who doesn’t enjoy a pink sprinkled donut for dessert?"

"This next one of the diners in Brooklyn is the perfect place to go to if you’re looking for the typical diner experience!. George’s is located in Ditmas Park and is a staple diner in the neighborhood. It’s been around for over 60 years."

"Indian , Vegetarian"

"I love Red Bamboo, a tiny vegan restaurant specializing in soul food. The restaurant cooks up memorably delicious specialties in mock versions of meat-eaters' favorites such as "Creole Soul Chicken" that has the looks and consistency of real fried chicken and they even have BBQ ribs!. You need to leave room for dessert when you're there because they're simply heavenly."

"Red Bamboo has an extensive menu full of comfort foods from philly cheesesteaks to lo mein. Their website describes them as vegan but they have clearly marked vegetarian dishes on the menu. READ THIS POSTVegan in the Philippines – Here are the Basics You Need to Know!"

"Okay, it might seem like a bit of a cheat to start off with something so generic—of course pizza can be cheap. Pizza can also be really expensive, especially in NYC. But since the city is one with such a rich Italian heritage, you just know that there have got to be a few great mom-and-pop style pizzerias, places where you can grab a slice (or a whole pie) for what amounts to pocket change."

"There are so many disputes about who makes the best slice, so I’ll let you decide for yourself, but I prefer Grimaldi’s just across the Brooklyn Bridge. Be prepared to wait in line, but I promise it’s worth it."

"Check out the IFC movie theatre for rare indie movies or Comedy Cellar for late night laughs (beware of the drink minimum). Need a late night snack?. Veselka has delicious 24-hour Ukrainian borscht and perogies. (Yes, that restaurant out of Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist.)"

"Another option is heading to the venues The Bell House or Littlefield in the Gowanus section of Brooklyn. Both of these venues have music, comedy, DJs, and other performances, as well as dancing and drinks. The Gowanus area is easily walkable from Park Slope and is home to hip bars and restaurants. Stop in at the Lavender Lake for a beer on the patio or if you're looking for a more wholesome night, order an ice cream cone (chocolate lovers must order "It Came From the Gowanus") at Ample Hills Creamery's rooftop terrace."

"Gowanus The Bell House has been bringing music fans and party-goers to the boonies of the Gowanus Canal since before it was cool. The large format dance hall is divided in two -- one space appointed with bistro tables and plush chairs, the other equipped with a dance floor and a stage. When you aren’t in the mood to dance, check out comedy shows, storytelling sessions, podcast tapings, and taxidermy competitions."

"The Bell House is an awesome bar/venue in a former warehouse in Gowanus where up and coming talent and big names perform. Be sure to check their calendar to see any special seasonal events or what their latest music, special events, or comedy line ups are. This location also has been used to film Netflix comedy specials!"
