New York recalls the World's Fair glory days

An artist works on a piece marking the 50th anniversary of the 1964 World's Fair at Flushing Meadows -Corona Park in the Queens borough of New York May 12, 2014. The 1964 World's Fair in New York drew 51 million visitors to gaze in awe at its Technicolor visions of the future, sample exotic cuisines and join in singing along at the wildly popular "It's a Small World" attraction. Fifty years later, New York City will celebrate the fair's remarkable impact with the hope of recapturing some of its wonder and promise in an anniversary festival. Picture taken May 12, 2014.
