NYC Walk : Downtown Flushing, Queens in September 2022

I take a walk in NYC in the neighborhood of Downtown Flushing, Queens along Main Street, 37th Avenue, Prince Street, and Roosevelt Avenue. This area is home to the largest Chinatown in NYC, featuring many restaurants, food markets, cultural stores, and a transportation hub. Much has changed around Flushing, including a fire closing off a mall, the moving of Tiger Sugar to New World Mall Food Court, and new restaurants.

Action Kid, the kid with his cool friends At 16.37 loves you! That is enough for me. Keep it up man, you rule!

[@ActionKid]

Very nice, thanks for the support!

[@nena73]

grew up here and i miss it so much ❤️❤️ i moved away for uni and these videos help with homesickness hahahha

[@gabrielandrade5682]

Nice to see Flushing again! I used to walk those streets 20 years ago when I was attending Flushing High School

[@ActionKid]

Very cool

[@jarihult]

Flushing , Queens seems quite nice neighborhood 🙂Lots of nice restaurants , stores etc… Maybe too narrow sidewalks when everyone are on the move at the same time but overall great walk 😎Thank you A K for sharing this enjoyable walk 🙂👍!!!

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome, it's a cool place to experience for sure!

[@lerylin]

You ended the video on the street where I used to live when I arrived to the US for the first time 32 years ago. I miss Flushing. Thanks for going back to Flushing. Flushing was originally lived by Italians, then moved out. Duane Reade in Roosevelt Ave. It used to be the Woolworth department store. And the Asian Mall used to be Alexander's store department. Main Street was occupied by non-asian family business. Only a very small Asian community was present at that time. Mostly Taiwanese, and Koreans. The farmers market and laundromats were opened by all Koreans and only one Chinese supermarket next to the Post office on Main Street.

[@luplew1444]

Originally being from the NYC area, my favorite videos are the ones in NYC especially any of the 3 Chinatowns. Great to see you back in NYC doing your best stuff.

[@rubenharo250]

Thanks for coming back to Flushing. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I am in tears (I never, ever get so emotional cause you HELPED ME MANIFEST MY TRIP TO NYC. And here I am spending some time in Manhattan, visiting friends, NOT BELIEVING MYSELF, IN AWE, WORSHIPPING EVERY PERSON, PLACE AND THING I see. All I did was falling asleep to the images in your vids and emote unintentionally. I did not even thought about airline tickets or money, or anything of the sort, and voilá. Thanks AK, I love you!!!!!

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome, thanks for watching this snippet of life in Flushing!

[@jaminova_1969]

Sad about the fire, but good to see Flushing bustling with people again! It was a great place to grow in and I still have a friend from the area that I keep in touch with even though we both have moved out of state!

[@ActionKid]

I'm glad the area is recovering after the fire. It looks busier than ever!

[@thisisourworld9544]

Thank you for this beautiful walk in NYC. I wish I could go there too. Have a fantastic day!

[@suninapawaroo3024]

Thanks AK I can't that much like you because of you I get to see flushing my happy place I appreciate it

[@jr2shiesty589]

I love this walk! Its so enjoyable and relaxable! Their Awesome

[@AmazingChinaToday]

Wonderful walking tour. China has changed so much in the past 20 years, that the country many of these people left, no longer exists. China has really become very modernized and in many ways now is more advanced than America. Shanghai for example is a very high tech and clean city in comparison. I wish many of these flushing residents would explore different areas of America, where it is less crowded, with more breathing room, more trees, and more parking. Real estate is expensive in Flushing and the suburbs offer a much higher quality of life for the same money.

[@louisetregomorgan4907]

Look at the foot traffic , things are looking up for this fine community . Plenty of stores and markets and restaurants keeps.this part of the city alive very kool.

[@wwfthe80s26]

Wow Flushing is virtually unrecognizable from when I grew up in the area.

[@HengMiao]

3:59 It's sad to hear that shopping mall was burned down. 😢 There's no shortage of eateries in Flushing! 😋 Good to see Flushing's Chinatown was full of activities, but it was also interesting to see many sidewalk street vendors. Thank you for sharing this walk, AK! 🤗

[@eze3914]

LOOKS SO AMAZING. I WANT TO LIVE THERE.

[@atuljoshi1990]

nice stuff. didn't know about tiger sugar having to move (or the fire). is AK back permanently from Fla now?

[@ActionKid]

Yeah, it's good to see Tiger Sugar in a new place

[@magamaga1827]

yea, they kicked him out of florida. he served no redeeming social value.

[@nynex9219]

I was surprise to see traffics so light on the streets then realized it was in a weekday

[@r.d.9399]

That neighborhood is so hectic. NYC government seriously needs to do something in that area to manage the bus and car traffic.

[@megasoid]

Thanks....grew up near Flushing.

[@ActionKid]

Much appreciated!

[@funfeeds9505]

Theres a nice bakery where they usually have the fireworks around new year..I forgot the name.

[@ActionKid]

Very nice, I'm sure the fireworks are spectacular.

[@areenakju]

Thanks

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome!

[@michaelchin3550]

Seems like the Flushing Chinatown is more busy than the Manhattan Chinatown.

[@japantour9136]

amazing video. I'm your fan ＋👍🔔

[@ActionKid]

[@zeeshanaimtiazi]

9:25 wow what a name that long! What's that in English? 😁 Also you're right about this particular section and it seems to be longest. I loved this amazing places of spots.

[@AmazingChinaToday]

NOLA Cajun restaurant is permanently closed.

[@verafranzen2702]

Good you're in NY

[@nazarkucharov5760]

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome, thanks for watching

[@michaelchin3550]

How do the dumplings in Flushing compare to the dumplings at Dumpling King in Miami?

[@ParistonHxH]

Does anyone know what that person said at 6:16?

[@JJJBRICE]

I like AK in Flushing Chinatown ,

[@ActionKid]

I do too!

[@suni214]

i like korea town in flushing since my wife is korean

[@ActionKid]

[@m.asquino7403]

Can I ask a question that bothers me quite a bit. Can you say that NYC is safe to venture out to sample this great NYC food I used to transit through NYC quite often when I worked in NJ on my way to Providence, RI from Madison Square Garden. But now I wouldn't stop in NYC for all the tea in China so to speak

[@peskypigeonx]

Even though crime has gone up a bit in the past 2 years, it’s still very safe compared to most cities, people just like to overreport, you just need to be a bit aware of your surroundings and you’ll be fine

[@ActionKid]

Yes, it's worth it to travel for all the food! Just be aware of your surroundings.

[@peterwelby]

@@peskypigeonx Being honest is not over reporting

[@peskypigeonx]

@@peterwelby Yes, but the amount of news reporting is nowhere near equivalent to what’s happening

[@peskypigeonx]

@@peterwelby This news reporting has caused people in opposite-political states to see New York as a war-filled hole of depravity, when most of their states are doing much worse.

[@cindywoodall3899]

Make some more new york city videos, action

[@tsutsuji1]

Did anyone catch what the dude at 6:17 was saying to Kenneth?

[@ActionKid]

[@junecat1597]

This wasn't a Chinatown in the 70's. I used to work at Alexanders dept store where that mall burned down. Boy, did that area change! That's demographics for ya! Lol😸

[@happy_keats]

are people catching co vid a lot?

[@theoneandonlydoge2267]

no

[@theoneandonlydoge2267]

You missed J-Mart

[@ActionKid]

I did, great supermarket!

[@valeriewood5515]

who was that guy lol🥴😆

[@ActionKid]

[@Michael20]
