The Fisher Landau Center For Art

Yesterday, Andy and Eamon and I took an impromptu driving tour of Queens, including such non-scenic vistas as Costco and the car wash in Long Island City. But the focal point of the trip was a visit to The Fisher Landau Center for Art, in LIC. I'd never even heard of it but it was a very cool space (a former parachute harness factory) with an impressive collection and a particularly impressive exhibit running through March 31, Imagination Noir, including works by Nan Goldin, Robert Mapplethorpe, and my personal favorites - prints by Gregory Crewdson.
There was also an entire floor of Jasper Johns work.

The place is worth a look if you are in Long Island City. Or even for a special trip because it's very close several subway lines.

We capped the evening off with some very good Indian food from Five Star, a favorite of both local cabbies and Saveur magazine.
