FLUSHING

Flushing is a neighborhood with a large Chinese, Korean and Taiwanese population. Located at the end of the 7-subway line, the neighborhood has a flourishing Chinatown that’s bigger than Manhattan’s. Many Chinese and Korean shops, eateries and other businesses are centered on Roosevelt Avenue and Main Street.

The area is also famous for the Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, a 1225-acre park which was built for the 1939 World’s Fair. The park is dominated by monuments, among them Queen’s most famous landmark, the stainless steel Unisphere. Built as the theme symbol for the 1964/1965 World’s Fair, the Unisphere is the world’s biggest globe and the borough’s most iconic and enduring symbols.
