xp'D from the other NYC thread:y'all I'm spending 24 hours in Flushing just for the hell of it, what should I do/eat/see in Flushing?

there's an overwhelming number of guides to flushing out there but the i find joe distefano at chopsticksandmarrow.com to be very reliable. bring cash, lots of cash only places. get the #6 at white bear.

What adam said, and with provisos that non-veg and covid:
Hunan Kitchen of Grand Szechuan (on main street, Uncle Mao's pork)Szechuan Mountain HouseDaxi in the New World Mall (a little upscale, but the food is v good)Haven't been to Spicy and Tasty in ages, but might still be good.
Would have recommended the weirdo salad at Fu Run but it's apparently closed!

little manilla festival in woosdide, 69th and roosevelt, right now.
― dan selzer, Saturday, 2 October 2021 15:21 (two years ago) link
I crave steamed rice rolls on a regular basis but alas they're not entirely gluten-free and use part rice but also part wheat flour.
― Ima Gardener (in orbit), Saturday, 2 October 2021 15:24 (two years ago) link
Oh shit I watched a video about these rice rolls a few months ago!! Which filling should I get???
― Warmed Regards, (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 2 October 2021 16:28 (two years ago) link
Shrimp for sure and maybe the non-bbq pork? Iirc there are a few additives and you can customize for whatever you want--scallions, corn?, can't remember what else.
― Ima Gardener (in orbit), Saturday, 2 October 2021 16:44 (two years ago) link
Ive never tried the curry fish balls with peanut sauce but they look intriguing.

I just ordered a pork steam rice roll!!!!!!

omfg if there is an afterlife I hope it’s this food court in the basement of New World Mall
― Warmed Regards, (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 4 October 2021 00:59 (two years ago) link
there's some good cold noodle things at the stall in the NW corner
― adam, Monday, 4 October 2021 01:21 (two years ago) link
Wow, Flushing is amazing.
― Warmed Regards, (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 5 October 2021 15:08 (two years ago) link
Hmm I may need to make a flushing trip soon. It's been a while, and one of the things I found really cool about it was how dynamic it was -- changes all the time, new restaurants/vendors all the time.

Just made a trip to Flushing- to shop at Macy’s! - as part of pandemic dig out.But really came to post that Brazilian music seems to be blowing up a bit at Terraza. It always had some presence but now more high level players are coming more often and there is going to be a monthly jam session which promises to bring in a lot of good music as well.

I went to the queens center mall this week. What a beautiful place
― ncxkd, Sunday, 17 October 2021 21:28 (two years ago) link
One of the most profitable malls in American, surprisingly. Or not.
― dan selzer, Sunday, 17 October 2021 21:34 (two years ago) link
Beautiful? Have they spruced it up in recent years?
― Double Chocula (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 17 October 2021 21:34 (two years ago) link
I was taking photos for my gram project (@mallselects)
― ncxkd, Sunday, 17 October 2021 21:46 (two years ago) link
great stuff, let me know if you ever want to print anything in queens too, I'm getting into the large format archival inkjet game, and a few stops away from the mall.

Well you need to go back and hit up the brutalist coliseum that is Queens Place Mall, just down the block from Queens Centerhttps://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/qchron.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/7/d4/7d44620a-bc88-5b4b-ac7b-8800df193556/5caf72db5b6d8.image.jpg?resize=750%2C437

I think that's where my then gf now wife and I bought a window unit ac there in summer 2000 for her studio in Briarwood.

Where do people like to eat near MoMI these days?
― Double Chocula (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 23 October 2021 20:48 (two years ago) link
We don’t eat at arepas cafe much anymore because arepas grill is less crowded and has parking but that’s solid. Astoria seafood down the st is supposed to be amazing.
― dan selzer, Saturday, 23 October 2021 23:55 (two years ago) link
Thanks! Might try that. What do you think of the Thai restaurant I keep passing, Maple Thai Eatery?
― Double Chocula (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 24 October 2021 00:01 (two years ago) link
Elmhurst or Woodside Thai or die. If you’re driving go over there.
― dan selzer, Sunday, 24 October 2021 00:08 (two years ago) link
Like Felix, I kept on walking, so I tried Ma’Ple after all. It’s fine and quite spicy, if a bit generic.
― Double Chocula (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 24 October 2021 00:46 (two years ago) link
a mile up steinway theres a lot of really good stuff, recently had excellent algerian sandwich at meeguez et frites
― adam, Sunday, 24 October 2021 02:01 (two years ago) link
merguez*
Tacuba across the street from MoMI is very solid imo and good place for atmosphere and drinks as well
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Sunday, 24 October 2021 02:14 (two years ago) link
Yeah, that place is great, go there as often as I can.
― Double Chocula (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 24 October 2021 02:30 (two years ago) link
Astoria Seafood is fuckin' great. there was a greek place around there i used to love but that was fifteen years ago and it's likely gone now.
― When Young Sheldon began to rap (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 24 October 2021 15:15 (two years ago) link
The method at Astoria Seafood sounds mad! How do you pick something out and then tell them how to cook it?? What have you ordered there? Tell me all.
― Ima Gardener (in orbit), Sunday, 24 October 2021 15:19 (two years ago) link
you can just say "as the chef likes" and take your chances
