New York World's Fair
There have been two World's fairs in New York City:
- 1939 New York World's Fair (1939-1940) at Flushing Meadow in Queens gave us Futurama and the Trylon[?] and Perisphere[?]. David Gelertner[?] has written a fictionalized account of the fair 'The Lost World of the Fair'
- 1964 New York World's Fair (1964-1965), also at Flushing Meadow Queens. One of its more memorable structures was the Unisphere.
The site became a park and home to New York's Shea Stadium where the New York Mets play.
