Wind thru parks and bike paths in Brooklyn & Queens to historic Ft. Totten. Take some time to tour around historic Fort Totten Park (site of a Civil War fortress) and Fort Totten (Army Reserve, Coast Guard and FDNY facilities).

Then have a vegetarian South Indian lunch in the world's melting pot of Flushing. Next door to the restaurant is a small Indian Temple – interesting architecture.
