If you are into jazz, you could alternatively stop at the Louis Armstrong house/museum in Corona. That is about 25 minutes from Manhattan on the 7 train.

Thanks Henna, for these great suggestions. I've been wanting to visit Queens and now I can combine a couple of things.

Thanks all, for the suggestions. :-)

one of the best skyline views in the whole system is on the 2/5 between West farms and E. 180th. the el curves so high off the ground at this point.

I also think you can get a good skyline view from burnside avenue on the 4 due to the express track configuration.

If you're talking about height, I think the F train over Belt Parkway in Brooklyn is the highest.

The area near Queensplaza is pretty high too, not as high as the F line though.

Here are a couple of photos, 7 train Jackson Heights/Elmhurst area [74th to 90th St. stops]

The new construction monstrosity in the Elmhurst photo taken underneath the train tracks actually surprisingly turned out to be a decent looking medical office.
