Food Scene
Steamed buns with pork and crab meat (in Chinese, "Xiao Long Bao") is my favorite. This is a very decent Shanghai-nese place, but don't expect five-star service. Go in there for the food!

I know there's literally 3 bubble tea places on each block in downtown Flushing. But you gotta check out this original Taiwanese, which I consider *the* bubble tea experience.

I call this place "KGS" and it is a high-end Korean BBQ house. It's about 5 min. walk from my house. I really love this place. Try their "Jogi Gui" which is grilled fresh yellow croaker.

This is Flushing's best vegetarian/vegan restaurant. Service is spotty, ranging from nonchalant to pretty horrible. But food is quite amazing. Try the stir-fried corn dish and mango "chicken".

This is an excellent Cantonese restaurant and it's a bit pricey by Flushing standards. However, their seafoods as well as vegetable dishes are truly authentic. A very worthwhile experience, I think.

This is a must-have experience for Cantonese dim sum. Go there before noon and on week days (incredible weekday special prices). On weekends, you are likely to wait in line for 30 min.

This is a high-end Korean bakery and if you haven't been to the one in Manhattan, try this one! It is located in the Queens Crossing Shopping Mall and me and my girlfriend just love, LOVE, it.

This is a great Cantonese roast duck house and other than the duck, you should also check out the "chicken with scallion in hot oil" (cong you ji) and "bbq pork" (cha shao).

I ate the small steamed buns with pork and crab meat ("Xiao Long Bao") there recently and found them juicy and authentic. They are even better than "A Taste of Shanghai". Good job!

Entertainment & Activities
YMCA is about 5 min. of leisure walk from my house and if you tell them you consider becoming a member, you will receive some day passes. Your kids will love the swimming pool there!
