Johanna - photo sites in Queens
Hi Johanna;
I spotted your question on the Vendor board but since I'm not a vendor I didn't want to post there.
My reception is a Leonard's too. There is a little park in Great Neck with a Gazebo. You may need to contact the town of Great Neck. Same for the Village of Kensington - there's another nice little park there, but again, you'd need to find out what you need in the way of permissions and permits.
There is also the dock/waterfront area in Port Washington - if I recall, it's at the end of the street that goes past the train station. There is also a nice park in Roslyn, although I seem to recall that goose droppings could be a problem there.
There's a waterfront area near Douglaston and Northern Blvd - don't recall what expressway that is - maybe the Cross Island - lots of recreational stuff there. There's also Flushing Meadows - not the nicest, but you might stop to get some interesting shots near the World's Fair globe - that could look pretty fantastic.
Good Luck! Karen
