1960's Flushing was mainly white owned business,. in the 70's it became rundown with blacks like jamaica, as whites left...80's koreans came in and revitalized the area...then they got pushed out by the Taiwanese chinese in the 90's, then the mainland chinese came in by tne 2000's..
I live in NJ now but I was an 80's Korean kid in flushing. Wow i did not know the history of it though. Thanks for that ! I do remember it when it was Korean . I had moved away by the time the Chinese took over but i heard about it and saw it when i visited from time to time
You forgot to mention that in the 1960s in Flushing there were some Japanese living in the area before the Koreans and Chinese came. The Japanese left from the area when the whites left.
I moved from NYC in 2014 ( I’m born and bred there), but I remember when Flushing was really a dump,the Chinese and Koreans really brought it back to life. Miss shopping there,
@@NYCBackstage I think it started in the mid 1980’s, they slowly took very the area, but the revitalized it!! Opened businesses, and orientals frequent each other’s businesses!!
Yeah, a little vice but mostly regular people doing regular things like socializing, going to work, shopping, etc. AS a New Yorker I can tell you it's safer than a lot of other neighborhoods in the city.
It's interesting how the Asians and Hispanics live together or near each other back in my day the whites lived apart with some Asians here and there and the black and Hispanics always lived together
They're operating under NYPD supervision. City is letting these new red light districts to exist. Only thing would worry is if the bimbos try to overcharge for it.
You’re so right! My roommate told me that in 2015 he went to to a lot of places that only had college girls from China. Then a few years later the cops started shutting down a lot of places. Nowadays it’s mostly fifty year old women 😂😂😂
Taking stroll through these streets The poignant smells , filth( garbage adorns the streets, while trash bins are visible , seems like people drop their trash as they stroll) cigarette butts So sad , it’s such a vibrant area Reminds me of the streets of Chinatown 🤢🥴
not really, they have stores where they sell that stuff but not on the streets. most of the street vendors are black people selling fake airpods and chinese ladies selling produce
No Chicago is bad Detroit is bad San fransico is bad Los Angeles is bad Baltimore is bad Houston is bad so leave new york alone. Korea is a worse place
Main st c rowded with vendors selling on sidewalk that its hard to walk. Smell of garbage really bad. Hookers- spas . Buisness uoset because they pay taxes and vendors everywhere in sidewalk
What I find interesting is you're showing them doing things they should not be doing, but you're carrying a hidden camera and deliberately taking their pictures without consent.
Why the city isn't doing anything about this is amazing! The city would make so much money in fines if they only went after these people. There are laws against selling on sidewalks without permits. Its bad enough we have this going on with the migrants
A lot of businesses in Flushing get fined for not translating their signs. Also, parking is a nightmare, it’s a ticketing orgy in Flushing. The police have started cracking down on the vendors. They’ve quadrupled since Covid. But once the cops leave, the vendors come right back out.
the fastest way to go is it go to Penn Station take the Port Washing Line 3 stops to Main Street Flushing it should take about 20 minutes if you go one more stop to Murray Hill it is considered Korea Town but it much smaller than Main Street Flushing - otherwise you have to take the 7 train to the last stop which is Main Street Flushing
just a thought you could also take the 7 train to 74 street Broadway and then walk around Little India, go to the Jackson Diner a famous Indian Restaurant there and you could also check out the Indian sweets shops and Patel Brothers Supermarket they have the best incense there and then you could hop back on the 7 train and continue to Main Street Flushing
Yes, it is. I’m a native New Yorker and this is filmed in Flushing, near Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue. I was there in this Chinatown two weeks ago. And this looks like a regular daily activities. This is one of the larger Chinatowns that we have in New York.
I think one of the hidden activities, refers to the women hanging out on the street after crossing the road @2:29 and before reaching the main street again! Some of them even sit on chair presumably waiting for customers. (sigh) They are there only in recent few years. This is China Town. But, they don't look Chinese to me.

Who was there before the Koreans and Chinese?

Latina women especially Colombian women are much more beautiful than those Asian Ladies. I live in Jackson Heights which has many Colombians🇨🇴.

@@LeahDyson-kq4bd True!
5:51 That dude been on the block for at least 25-30 years. He used to sell bootlegged movies. I’m not sure what he’s selling now.
wow he has been there the long? You mean the tall guy from Africa? He can speak some Mandarin and some other languages
I haven't been down there in a while last I heard he was selling covid masks and hand sanitizer
The 2nd largest China Town within NYC. I know old immigrants who didn't know English, and lived happily without issue! 😊
I think it's the largest Chinatown in NYC now. The one in Manhattan is kinda beat up and quiet.
@@lokyinphotography this. yes. Chinatown in Manhattan is losing a lot of business. Businesses are thriving in Main St.
非常感謝您的作品分享🎉🎉🎉
Those Chinese ladies always try to take me somewhere when I go to Flushing.
Did you go??

Fut, have you been somewhere?
@@Futuristbillpicone Fut, you mean you are a bum....or street smart?
So the guy at 0:41 is either filming the end to the NYC version of Blair Witch Project or he's taking a piss !
I always liked the energy of Flushing a week or so before Chinese News Years there is a buzz there around Chinese New Years
Back in the day girls were in residential neighborhoods. Call to MamaSan you were going. Alot of college girls
You’re so right! My roommate told me that in 2015 he went to to a lot of places that only had college girls from China. Then a few years later the cops started shutting down a lot of places. Nowadays it’s mostly fifty year old women 😂😂😂
Taking stroll through these streets
The poignant smells , filth( garbage adorns the streets, while trash bins are visible , seems like people drop their trash as they stroll) cigarette butts
So sad , it’s such a vibrant area
Reminds me of the streets of Chinatown 🤢🥴
that's 41st ave off main st. in Flushing ....used to live there in the 70's near corvette on kissena blvd. oh how the population has changed.
is that Doug and Carrie i just saw in the video?
The Greeks saved Astoria & The Chinese and Koreans saved Flushing!
Chinese exports everything and also the chicks
Is this Chinatown?
NO, CHINATOWN IS IN LOWER MANHATTAN. THIS VIDEO IS FILMED IN FLUSHING QUEENS.
yes，flushing is new Chinatown
Your videos of NYC are awesome !
haha
Does anyone sell fireworks there like they do on the streets of Chinatown in Manhattan?
not really, they have stores where they sell that stuff but not on the streets. most of the street vendors are black people selling fake airpods and chinese ladies selling produce
Interesting 😎
I love new york city so much but don't the people ever get tired of walking, don't people stand around like you see in other cities ?
I am a creator who introduces Korea.
This video is so great!
i just followed your channel :) 기대된다
@@chrmnxpnoy I followed you, too! Thank you, friend
I got to say the video does not look like it was taken in America
Please pan your camera around SLOWLY. When you move it TOO FAST, it makes everything blurry.
Was that guy peeing at :41 seconds of the video? That is bad.
🤩🤩🤩
adress please
Main st flushing is like being in Beijing China 🇨🇳 😮😢
How r people casually buying chicken next to pros-houses ??
Only in NYC I guess
It must be pretty bad in Korea if they thought NYC was the better option.
No Chicago is bad Detroit is bad San fransico is bad Los Angeles is bad Baltimore is bad Houston is bad so leave new york alone. Korea is a worse place
You’ve been on Colden place jobs
I don’t see anything strenge 😅
Where is hidden thing ?
Lots of women work from home.
Not English necessary .. as south American
Main st c rowded with vendors selling on sidewalk that its hard to walk. Smell of garbage really bad. Hookers- spas . Buisness uoset because they pay taxes and vendors everywhere in sidewalk
I did not see any hidden activities, I just seeing normal people.
you are a gentleman....
Roosevelt ave is 1000x better!!!!
Same Chinese girls. They roll them
Where the hell is hidden activities ?
Title must be a TYPO - this looks like in Korea .
no Korea part of flushing starts 2 block east of where this guy is filming ....on union and northern blvd
Queens, NY.....or an Asian country?
no its Kowloon😂🎉😅😊❤

It's not a hidden camera and no consent is needed because they are in a public place.

Shut up people need to survive and selling on the street they not hurting anyone u probly spoil by your parents or never had a job before
