Queens/Flushing-Northeast



Flushing-Northeast is a large area of Queens, a borough of New York City. Flushing contains a very large Chinatown, and in fact is more diverse than Manhattan's Chinatown. It also contains a large Korean and a large Indian neighborhood, with various other ethnic groups represented. Consider taking a trip there if you are visiting New York for more than a week, or if you would like a delicious meal before or/and after watching a game at Citi Field or matches at the U.S. Open.

Stay safe

 * Flushing is a safe neighborhood, and people walk around the neighborhood all week and almost all hours of the day and night. It is best not to walk between Flushing and Citi Field because the street is very unpleasant, going past automobile body shops and across bridges spanning the polluted Flushing River, with broken glass on the walkways. It is best to take the subway or a taxi to Citi Field instead. The streets near Willets Point Avenue have car repair shops, and it is not very safe at night.
