TheTravelingClatt The mall looks nothing like in East Russia lmao. Just because it is in Asia it doesn’t mean it is any less European than the western part!
FYI- that Buddhist temple, Han-Ma-Eum, is a Korean Buddhist temple. The sign in the temple written in Korean, 대웅전 (DAE-Ung-Jeon) means the main hall. Anyway, thank you for posting so helpful travel tips all the time!
@batsha may you please give me the direction?
I’ve used to switch from the bus to subway at Main St. Flushing. The price of the take out food you can’t beat it. The New World Mall is amazing also. Flushing, Long Island City and Jamaica, Queens are like a city within a city.
Yeah it's really crazy
You just need 6 bucks and you got dinner
Flushing was my home for basically all my life. I was raised in Pomonok which is basically South Flushing by Queens College, but Main Street Jewish side and Asian side, Kissena Corridor, Northern Blvd., Kissena Blvd, Union street, and Parsons Blvd were all my stomping grounds. I also went to Bayside High school and since Pomonok is also considered on the outskirts of Fresh Meadows, Bell Blvd, 188th St, Utopia Turnpike, and Union Turnpike were also my stomping grounds.
Hall of Science was a big childhood field trip location for us
Sameeee, I live a couple of blocks away from it
Yup
There are several Chinatowns in NYC. The most famous one is obviously Lower Manhattan and this Flushing Chinatown that is being hosted in this video. In Brooklyn, taking the N train to 8th Avenue in Sunset Park is also another very large Chinatown as well, which you really should try out. All these 3 are the large Chinatowns of NYC, but there are also smaller emerging Chinatowns in other Brooklyn and Queens neighborhoods.
---
In Brooklyn, Bensonhurst has several small Chinatowns emerging on 18th Avenue between 63rd-78th Streets(18th ave. N train stop), Bay Parkway between 65th-70th Streets(Bay Parkway N train stop) and 86th Street between 18th-25th Avenues(D train stops on 18th ave, 20th ave, Bay Parkway, or 25th Ave.). Sheepshead Bay, another Brooklyn neighborhood also has another small emerging Chinatown right at the Avenue U Q train station.
--
Elmhurst, another Queens neighborhood at Elmhurst Avenue R train station, also has a small emerging Chinatown.
____
At this time, all these smaller Chinatowns of NYC are intermixed with other ethnic populations that are still there, so you can try out Chinese culture and other cultures such as Italian, Russian, Mexican, Central American, South American, Middle Eastern, East European, and etc. cultures. You also should check out these neighborhoods as well and do videos of them.
As a child flushing felt like I was in Asia.Good times.
Wow, what a culmination to this series, a little something for everyone in this district, cheers Tal; and a shout out to Mr Carlson himself for being a font of knowledge throughout this adventure.
We are right at the finish line now
Queens Night Market also sets up behind Hall of Science for most of Spring and Summer on Saturday nights
Nice to know. That is a great idea.
Just needed to stop and give a big shoutout to TheTravelingClatt. I'll be moving to NYC in a few months and this series exploring all of NYC has been extremely helpful in getting me accustomed to each area and look for potential places i'd like to live. Thank you so much for all of this valuable content! I love your attitude and good spirit towards your content, and the information you provide is priceless. Keep up that NYC grind!
Hell yeah dude! This is an awesome comment!
I really enjoyed a few of your videos so far. Thank you for sharing with us!
Thanks for making this.
still loving your adventures and the neighbourhood chronicles of NY is such an awesome idea. Keep being awesome my friend
Thanks my friendz!.
I was there 3 years ago...amazing!!
God willing, Flushing will be my new home in a few more days. I'll miss the California high desert for sure but I can't wait for a new adventure on the east coast
Best of luck. Flushing is very different from the High Dessert. More like a Savannah Low Land. But I hope you have a really good time there. I grew up in Flushing and miss it a great deal. I traded it in for a High Dessert in Colorado.
I'm gonna be there this summer and I'm super excited 😁
My hometown and boy has it changed! Used to live on 35th Avenue and Parsons!
Yep. Mine too. Grew up near Holy Cross HS. it really changed. Personally .. I hate it now. It’s filthy now
@@vincentschicchi4647 actually grew up near Jewel Ave in Electchester.
Not too far. Knew the whole area well. Lot of time on Northern by the Quartet. Get a slice at Happy Days Pizza and see a movie. When I was older. Would hit Bridies. Did first 2 yrs at Queens College as well
@@vincentschicchi4647 used to work at FedEx Office on Northern about 16-17 years ago. Quartet used to be over there if I remember correctly.
I lived in The Bland on Roosevelt and College Point Blvd. Flushing was a great place to grow up. I am sure the current residents think so as well. They are getting ready to develop the area near the water between College Point Blvd and Willis Point.
The temple is Korean. Han ma um can be translated as one heart
Awesome video i subscribed thank you
Going to ny on Thursday’ this is going to be in my list thank you 😊 nice video
Yesssssss
Julissa, did you make it to Flushing? How did you like it?
I have totally enjoyed these NYC vids. When you move on to your next place, I think what I will miss most about NYC is Jacob. What a guy.
Me too my friend
New to your channel. I subbed within 2 minutes because you went to Flushing and your first stop was the New World Mall food court :))
Haha welcome to the fam bb
I visit Flushing Queens most the time
King of the Vlogs! Glad he encouraged you to do the video here
Yes he's a good partner in Crim e
whoa, Igo to Flushing for food all the time and I had no idea about all the old buildings!
Yeah it's amazing
Definitely want to check out that temple
You gotta!
I live in Vlissingen, the Dutch Flushing.
Yo awesome thats my hometown. Born in flushing im glad you enjoyed it
I loved it!
Oh I love new york❤️
Good job
You went to a good stall for those dumplings!
Mmmmmm
Oh, Flushing: my town ...... but over 30 years ago, hahahah!
Flvshtown 💖💕
I grew up in Flushing when it was white so this is quite the transformation
Back in the day Flushing was not white. To me it was like The United Nations , every country seemed to be represented.
Flushing high school is a very cool place to look at, the architecture is like a mini college campus. Very different from most schools here.
If you go down northern blvd you can get a lot of Korean stuff like shops, restaurants, beauty places, etc. Not sure if anything historic is down that way but good for people that want to experience trends from that culture.
Flushing is very diverse. There's a mini pocket of south Asian communities and a bunch of Indian stores and halal groceries. There's a lot of Hispanic stuff sprinkled in everywhere. Some bits of Jewish stuff is here too though more of that is down Main Street near utopia. And flushing is slowly churning up high rises and bringing with it some modern architecture and interior design into otherwise old areas. Also love how a lot of Asian food trends hit here hard and new places pop up often.
The only downside is that only the 7 comes here. Buses and LIRR aside, train wise only the 7 stops here and it's not the best/most reliable line.
I remember the RKO Keith’s when I was a kid. Beautiful theater with fountains and fish.
Flushing Queens Is the best! I friggin love the Chinatown out there. They have an awesome tea house there named Prince Teahouse
@8:09 you see my friends from flushing high school smoking in the back
The NYC zoos are all about wildlife preservation and the exhibits do their best to mimic natural habitats. A great series "The Zoo" has been airing on Animal Planet. Give them a chance.
Yeah not disputing that just I myself am not such a big fan of zoos
Yass 😁
Love the intro! Good job. I grew up on Roosevelt and College Point Blvd. You brought back a flood of great memories. That house you were talking about is the Bowne House. Bowne rhymes with Town. To people in Flushing, mispronouncing Bowne is like mispronouncing Buda. We have a Bowne House, Bowne Street, Bowne Apartment, Bowne HS. So, you know. LOL It was so funny when you called it Astoria. They were our Hip Hop, Car Racing and Little League Football rivals. But keep up the good work. And learn how to pronounce shit that is important to others. LOL KF
Love the intro
Thank you thank you
I believe the top floor restaurant is a giant Dim Sum place. their food is pretty solid but it's obviously gonna run you more than the stalls in the basement. Very nice experience for a friend/family get together though.
For sureeee
Used to live in flushing when I was in NY. Now I'm in Hawaii. Aloha! I got bunk beds so hit me up if anybody want to move to Hawaii.
Aloha braddah! Or sistahh!
Hawaii sound cool how much is rent as an roommate?
@@Type1DomoGuy $1200 for 1 bed in waikiki
Nice video. Can we get a Staten Island travel guide.
Coming soon
Tal, I think you're so cute. Thanks for the travel guide videos. :)
Haha stopppp I'm blushing but thank u
Born there... I call it, " Flushing the toilet bowl..." 🚽 It's called the Bow- ne House...like "bow" after a performance. I used to be a tour guide there. It's the birthplace of religious freedom in America.
mi casa !
Having lived in Flushing, Queens for over 30 years, this video is comical to me. 🤣 A place to actually visit? I don’t know about that.
Traveling Clatt ; a really great suggestion, You should experience the NYC Ferry ⛴ you are missing out. I’ve taken the NYC FERRY ⛴ from the BX Soundview To Financial District To Astoria Queen and it goes on and on.
I take the ferry all the time!
I'm surprised you don't do a video of being on a ferry all day?
while it was in its beginning stages of being built, someone told me (i don't know if this is true because i didn't research it) that the wood used to build that temple was imported from Korea in order to create an authentic temple.
I live there!
The World's Fair was in season for two years ((April - October '64)) and ((April - October '65)).
Oh... and you are Traveling Clatt... because your videos are authentic and never use a Traveling Matte!
Oh well, I tried. :p
Haha I didn't understand it but thabks
Do one of corona and elmhurst also bayside in Whitestone east queens has a lot of great spots
Great spots
@11:20 those towers are most likely the same ones in the first “Men In Black” movie shown towards the climax of the movie in the end.
New York State Pavilion. Saw Led Zeppelin there.
I’m staying flushing in September, 4 days to check out nyc so any cheap stuff ideas please
Visit Flushing very frequently and although New World Mall's basement food court is amazing, check out Golden Mall. The hole in the wall spots are spectacular.
I live in flushing queens
Bow (as in bow down) ne that's how you pronounce "Bowne" or brown without the "r"
Oy thanks
I partly agree with your opinions of the average zoo but I greatly support zoos who deal with animal conservation.
I agree
The best East Asian food I’ve ever tried outside from east Asia of course, has to be in flushing. Manhattan Chinatown is the destination everyone goes to but it’s “hyped” whereas the flushing neighborhood is homemade and authentic
Tell the truth! You felt like Tony Stark when you were at the Unisphere! LoL
Hell yeah I did
Nice little walk on main st? Impossible.
The least notable food items within a block of the 7 line were featured here. No local would eat at Landmark Mall.
I was born and raised in Flushing until the age of 7.
Cantonese and Mandarin are two different Chinese dialects, but the writing is the same, so no Cantonese or Mandarin writing
Nice
That's exactly what I thought of immediately. Not that I am Chinese or can speak or write in Chinese at all. But they are 2 different languages that are not mutually intelligible. The writing system is the same.
7:34 its Korean, not Chinese
Sup traveler the New York Mets are right down the block. Go New York!
Have You travel to City Island 🌴 in the BX
Yes made a whole video on it!
My old stomping grounds until I ended up overseas for work
So damn crowded
Is flushing safe? I wanna book a hotel in this neighborhood
Bowne is pronounced Bow-n as in the ‘bow’ of a ship or taking a bow. The Flushing Friends Meeting (aka Quakers) is a still a functioning house of worship. The Kingsland House was moved from its original location at 157 St and Northern Blvd in order to preserve it. You missed the marker opposite the Bowne House that marks the spot where George Fox, the founder of the Religious Society of Friends (aka ‘Quakers’) preached in 1672. If you are concentrating on architecture the Bowne Street Community Church just down the block form the Bwone House has stained glass windows from the Tiffany Studio. Queens is the most diverse county in the United States.
The Best Pastrami is at KATZ
The Unisphere is the best!!
One of my favs
Tiger Sugar is Good
:14 "It's a new neighborhood for me ... it's my first time here."
And we're supposed to take him seriously for his "travel guide?" Gotta love transplants.
197th view, 27th like and 14th comment. Hello, Hello Tal & Jacob!!! So cool, Chinese food, American history and rockets. All Queens needs now is a Spider-Man statue, maybe by the ‘65 World’s fair attractions. 🕸🕸🕸😎😎
Haha that would be incredible
That's not the Voelker Orth museum
I stayed at the Asiatic Hotel, and I loved the area, 10/10 would stay there again. I was one of the few white people there, it was pretty sweet.
ROW NEW York 🚣♂️🚣♂️🚣🏼♀️🚣♂️
Ice down medallions
Bowne, pronunciation is like Bon .
The World’s Fair spaceships as featured in men in black. Who remembers ?
I wouldn’t recommend the Queens Zoo there’s not much there.
The thing you need to know about flushing is it gotten worse when it comes to sanitation the streets are crowded dirty and trust me don’t get me started on the food I grew up in flushing in the 80-90 and it was much nicer now it’s gone downhill unfortunately there isn’t any Americans food in flushing and ppl aren’t friendly this is all observation
its a korean temple
You missed the good stuff. Flushing used to be a cool mix of ethnic groups, mostly Asian, I noticed big chains like Target and Best Buy invaded the area and now its not as cool. Look at the At&T sign behind you.
Most of the Chinatowns around the world trace their origins to southern China (Guangdong or Hong Kong) since that's where the seafaring populations were. Thus, the primary dialect is usually Cantonese not Mandarin.
Which area is the most Indian /middle eastern? Those my peoples.
There was a time when I thought that Flushing Queens was a good idea.
It is
Its not for everyone. I personally love it, my father hates it here. Says overcrowded and such and such. Only overcrowded on the commercial streets.
@@ryanflores2489 It is what you make it right Ryan. I lived in Hawaii and knew people there who hated it. Flushing is awesome, and if someone does not like it, one of the best things about Flushing is you can jump on a highway, or the 7 and be anywhere in moments. When I was a young adult and would get sick of Flushing I would take the Bus to Jones Beach, or Belmont Raceway. Go Flushing HS Red Devils. Did they close the HS yet? I heard that was on the list.
Welcome to the China hood
Go Mets !
Gentlemen, You missed too much in Flushing. I suggest you meet up with a local and allow that person to discuss possibilities for you to visit. I've lived here for close to 12 years and it is layers upon layers to see.
Yeah but this was a good guide for a first time agreed?
@@TheTravelingClatt If you climb out of the subway for the first or maybe second time, yes. otherwise no. If you are interested, we can give you a much better look, then you decide.
Idk, it's my hometown and I think he did a pretty good job. Maybe you have to be Chinese to know everything? What else would you go on visit besides restaurants?
Its a korean Buddhist temple not chinese
I heard people love to flush toilets there
Haha I think they do
Flushing is where I'm from, no im.not Asian lol
"I've never been here before," so, "Here's everything you need to know about flushing" .....??????
Regardless, did he not do a good job though?
We call it K-town or Korea town. It’s mostly Korean
I'd say northern side is mostly korean, but most of Flushing is Chinese
Why are people JUST discovering Flushing like it’s a new world? I welcome you all to my home but PLEASE don’t do what y’all been doing to the rest of the boroughs.
This is a disaestrous. The guy went to Korean Buddhist temple with Korean letters on the structure and the Indian host says " Chinese Oriented" What a horrible disrespect moment he made for Korean Buddhist watchers.
Good job
Good job
Good job
