Flushing is a very densely populated area, meaning it contains a lot of diversity and culture along it. Over the years, Flushing has changed a lot, and many stores that once existed have now become new stores catered towards the younger generation. Flushing is the place where you can find anything. With the diverse population here, you have the chance to experience authentic sushi, Korean BBQ, Thai, Chinese, Mexican, Indian, and even classic American diners all in a single town. In such a closely knitted community like this, it's almost hard to go outside without seeing a face you know! Everyone in the community is very friendly to each other, and there are always stands all over the area for you to try out! If you want to see the highway of Flushing, I definitely recommend going to Main Street. Main Street is truly a mix and match of everything; one giant road containing anything you want to find all in one place. Overall, Flushing is a great place to visit or even stay at!
Growing up in Flushing, Queens has been a great experience. Over the years it has grown and changed in many different ways such as businesses and the restaurant scene. In this diverse community you get to experience different foods from Asian cuisine (Korean BBQ, Sushi, Thia food, Chinese food) to American diners. Growing up in the community Iv gone to public school and eventually worked in it as well. You get to build a close relationship with many people because of the tight community and how family oriented it is. I highly recommend Flushing as a place to grow and start a family!
Growing up in Flushing, I was exposed to many cultures that helped shaped me as a person now. Flushing is a place for all occasions. Are you hungry? There's no need to fuss with the abundance of restaurants everywhere around you. Looking for a new outfit? No worries! There are many boutiques sprinkled through the lively area. Whether visiting flushing or a native, the sense of community is very strong with local uncles playing checkers amongst themselves and the aunties dancing around with their young children chasing after each other. Flushing is a place of welcoming memories.
