Some people talking about how NY is dead,this is why i love Queens,we are still going strong,no dead zone here.

[@josephhinkofer9516]

Where the Duane Reade is at, that used to be Woolworth.

[@WalkRideFly]

There is more going on in Flushing compared to many parts of Manhattan.

[@yell0wberry]

The Asian mafia manipulated all the construction and real estate initiatives in Flushing to put it at their advantage

[@ARTENERA]

ActionKid inspired me‼️ I’m watching this channel from the beginning ❤️ I even started a channel, my videos are from North Pole Norilsk Russia 🇷🇺 ❄️ ActionKid for life ✨

[@D.N..]

I will watch your video,

[@ARTENERA]

@@D.N.. Thanks !!

[@jeahavvalentin980]

I love ❤ Flushing Queens

[@Byrontastic]

It's amazing that almost everyone is wearing masks. Where I live, masks are only worn indoors, and sometimes not even then.

[@ambergeorge101]

Sadly, where I live too.

[@elenaa3408]

Same here in Spain we all wear masks outdoors and inside stores and even inside the car and buses. They will fine with 100 € if we dont wear it. They have made it a daily obligation....I Dont know till when.

[@Lillithowl]

Asian people have a long tradition of wearing masks to prevent the spread of illness so they were the first in the city to mask up.

[@bgaviator]

The Asian food around there looks awesome

[@ActionKid]

It's so delicious!

[@grrrrrgh]

Awesome food there

[@JAK--xn4yn]

It is

[@someguyyeah33]

This sounds like people are impressed with the amount of people there. I live in Flushing and I can tell you this is at least 70% less people than it is precovid.

[@sunshinegirl3716]

Can anyone tell me what kind of animal (roasted) was hanging at that store?? I know what it looks like to me, I just want to confirm. Watch video again if you want to catch it....and is that an okay thing in NYC?

[@vincentv1790]

Roast duck, soy sauve chicken, roast pig, roast pork

[@sunshinegirl3716]

Thank you Vincent. I prefer a few bacon strips. That's why I love NY it's so WOW and I've never been. I'm sure many feel the same💖❤💖❤💖❤

[@iworkout6912]

Thanks for the great video. I worked in College Point and lived in Manhattan for a couple of years. Good to see Flushing is still a busy place. Loved the oriental stores and restaurants. I got off the subway and rode a bus to College Point every work day.

[@michaelchin3550]

Asian stores.

[@jamesr1703]

Looks like Chinatown.

[@DonGivani]

I would consider Flushing , the main Chinatown, it is not only Chinese also Korean, Indochinese, Japanese

[@leslieanthony1015]

I have been living overseas a long time , last 11 yrs in V.N and haven't seen Flushing for decades now. It looks much more like an Asian city ,than the city I lived in while working over there.

[@WalkandTravelTV]

Friend from walking in Russia. Great new walking video. I always enjoy watching ur video. Now everything is online and virtual walking is the best idea. Thank u for sharing 👍🚶💓🏩🏫🗽🗼🏰

[@Kheyphos]

Second wave has just begun...

[@lisajackson8643]

Do your thing @Action Kid😃

[@NewYorkWalker]

Another great walk absolutely awesome. Very interesting place. Thanks for showing around 👍

[@gailelizabethphillips6727]

The MAIN STREET Flushing I knew as a child has been gone for many years! It turned into CHINA TOWN in Queens and obviously still is! Gotta love the food & saved us a long trip into Manhattan’s Chinatown. Only in New York😂😅🤣

[@joelincolnlincoln6315]

That must pisses some people off. Im on long island and alot towns turned into Latin America. So I like flushing its different than what i see. Mostlty I've been living in California now near beach

[@josfitz]

So many nice restaurants and crowded. Looks preCovid-19 there.

[@GeekStreetTravels]

Thanks for the tour - loved it! Great atmosphere - food looks amazing

[@az360tour9]

Compared with the streets of San Francisco, there are more people walking on the streets of Flushing.

[@TechExploresNYC]

1:22 Do you know who that is? 21:11 The owner is still #yanggang lol

[@ActionKid]

No idea who the person is at 1:22!

[@focuseddrew8737]

Gotta love Queens. I went to Flushing Christian School a long time ago.

[@ActionKid]

Queens is an awesome borough!

[@landensnyder2268]

Hi There

[@jessygarci]

But NY is Dead???

[@NYDRAINS]

Did we just see another youtuber walk right past you! Lol cool video 😎 , I haven't been on that side of town in ages!

[@AF-ib3nl]

i noticed that too!

[@michellesingleton8344]

Downtown flushing looks good.

[@vanessamckinley]

We love your videos, keep doing them. We've noticed that you talk on some of your videos and sometimes you don't, is there a reason for that?

[@fogcitygirl397]

I love to see all the people out and about.....your video gave me a great smile.....thank you for sharing....🐼

[@MadMetsFan]

I haven't been to Flushing since Covid-19 became a concern, but 40th Road is infamous for the open street prostitution ... some of the ladies (40+ and older) would just come up and ask if you're looking for a message. No one among the community seemed to shame them although business owners would like to see them go.

[@Valencenliberty]

Excellent videos as always thank u

[@joelincolnlincoln6315]

Flushjng has best dive bar in nyc. Irish bar. Its also only bar in area i thjnk. Asajns dknt drink alot. I love walking around its safest people in nyc, I'm only white guy around, but im vegan tbe food options for street food or cheap takeout is limited. I usually go get airbnb stay night

[@harryjamessmithmusic7762]

Perfect!

[@thegwynster]

You mentioned this was filmed on September 23, 2020. Was this filmed in the hours leading up to any protests?

[@vickident6690]

Loving your videos, is queens dangerous like Manhattan? From Australia

[@mikegross6107]

I wonder if there are many American food, delicatessan, diner businesses in CHINA as there seems to be in NYC?

[@JAK--xn4yn]

I used to live in flushing but now I’m in Georgia. The Asian food in GA is a disappointment

[@cynthiaherbin9145]

I miss living in Flushing. Born and raised 5 minutes away from Mainstreet

[@kayl.2877]

Selling food on those dirty streets right next to trash and possibly rodents seems so unsanitary

[@jacquelinegangas7728]

💝👋

[@michaelchin3550]

So nice to see people are getting back to living.

[@samirrami4586]

well done

[@queens6583]

Jose B. I believe those were dragon fruit.

[@batmanhulk9289]

THIS IS HOW YOU GET INFECTED WITH COVID-19:)

[@RandomTvv]

Do you go to massage parlors out there??

[@istvanfoldi]

Hi ActionKid This is a bit off the topic,but i have a technical question. I would like to record walking clips on my A6400 and on my GoPro 7 Black and i would like to catch the ambient noises as well.What mic would You recommend?I know i need a rig and the adapter for the GoPro,and stabilization is also important,but strictly soundwise,to catch the background noises what are the options? Thank You in advance!

[@LouGrant999]

So many appealing fresh vegetable and fruit stores, AND--they were all busy!!! Refreshing to see. Still, need to keep a watchful eye on the recent uptick in positivity rates in certain areas in Queens and Bk. //As of today, 30 Sept., restaurants can serve indoors at 25% capacity . If it were me, I would continue to take advantage of outdoor restaurant seating until the real cold moves in.

[@proudasiangirl576]

I have never been to NY so I really enjoy these videos of yours. Feedback, when you are just walking, I really like how you pan the camera slowly. I feel as though I am right there walking the street. However, when you pan from store to store, you tend to move the camera around faster and it tends to make me dizzy. Please slow down your camera and pan it slowly. I'd like to absorb the ambience of the stores. Thanks!

[@nilolee2426]

Are you using gopro to film this?

[@markwhite7604]

Next time walk down colden st

[@mariekano9730]

thats my home!

[@damianmcdonagh7908]

Great video, thanks for posting. I used to live in Flushing on Cherry Avenue near Parsons Boulevard.

[@moonectar]

I always wanted to see NYC and now I have, sure wish I could taste the food though. Thank you! For me your videos are therapeutic.

[@bmona7550]

Its sad that I lived in Woodside (near Jackson Heights) for a while and never really went to Flushing only like two times actually

[@danielschomaker6010]

good work!

[@gazriley624]

Another KZbinr walks past filming

[@dougtagg9162]

Thank you for the walk in Flushing. Doug from Cleveland.

[@derriderri7908]

Thanks for your videos, sir

[@magdalenaavila4115]

I lived in Flusing from 1982 to 2000. My only son jumped from our apt on 3611 Bowne 4th floor and passed away. He was 25 years old. His name was Vincent Moreau and had attended elementary school as well as Flushing h.s. sad memory.

[@bustingbubbles4025]

sorry for your loss :(

[@MikeCanadian]

These open street markets looks great👍

[@Alan-zi2rw]

Flushing streets are busy.

[@jenniferbaragar8254]

I miss your voice! Love your work and thank you.

[@palmaymoore5636]

Going to take along.time to come back to the way it was

[@DR-xt9ux]

Did you happen to see any white people ?

[@damianmcdonagh7908]

Very few living in Flushing.

[@magdalenaavila4115]

Is Sterns Dept store still on Main St?

[@ruthpalacios3610]

Stern was closed years ago, then was Caldor for some years and now is Macy's

[@josebillini7830]

@7:34 $7.99 each, what type of fruit is that?

[@grrrrrgh]

There is some really good food in Flushing

[@PrismApplied]

Cinematic. Great job Kenneth.

[@MoniqueSinha]

Great food there

[@kerrykeel16]

Aah no commentary.........😕

[@sarahgonzalez-lauck4156]

🐼🙄💕

[@ambergeorge101]

Love these videos. Keep it up 👍

[@tinekedehaan4449]

Oo happy me living in a small Dutch town with people who don’t hide their mouths and can say hallo to eachothers. Btw i thank you for walking with you and pleace take off the unhealthy masks.

[@m.debaser4]

Chinatown 2 it seems like :D

[@yell0wberry]

It was a little over 30 years ago that Flushing barely had an Asian person there, now it’s probably 99% Asian (I really have no problem with that) I just wish the vast majority of them weren’t so prejudice

[@yell0wberry]

@@minsiuh8960 When the hell was flushing a dump? You must be standing on your head looking at it, while in South Jamaica.. flushing was a mostly Jewish community with a lot of Jewish businesses who decided to sell out to Asian businessman and residents.

[@MistyBlue102]

So I'm in England and have loved every video so far....until now 🧐 This looks like a dump!

[@Red-pt6rs]

How?
