An Italian ice stand at the corner of 108th Street and 52nd Avenue, opened in 1944, selling dozens of flavors from a walk-up window. It faces William F. Moore Park, known locally as Spaghetti Park.

Why it matters
Site of two World's Fairs (1939-40 and 1964-65) and the temporary home of the United Nations General Assembly from 1946 to 1950. Today it is the everyday commons for the immigrant neighborhoods that ring it.

Why it matters
The Panorama, built for the 1964 fair, remains the definitive physical portrait of New York City. The museum's programming is closely tied to the immigrant communities of Corona and Flushing Meadows.
