Flushing Mall, in the Chinese neighborhood of Flushing, Queens, is one of the most fabulous places on earth. Not for shopping (though eating, yes — but master your pointing and guessing skills, not everything is in English!), but for marveling at the impossibly colorful surrounds. Yes, the walls, the lights, and floors are all multi-colored.
What might you find in such a place? Well…
I actually recommend a trip to Flushing, and the Flushing Mall is a great stop — just ask the New York Times, which can point you to some of the best Chinese food in the US right here in the Flushing Mall (they recommend the shaved ice)!
The exact address of the Flushing Mall is 133-31 39th Ave. You can get to it by taking the 7 subway to the end of the line, or hoping on the Port Washington Line of the LIRR and getting off in Flushing.

Vampire Toast! Want!
I seriously need to make a trip to NYC soon. It seems like everything and everyone awesome is there. So jealous!
PS – I am concocting some return mail. /plotplotplot
The vampire toast is my favorite too! I haven’t seen that in Chicago’s Chinatown.
Jaka: oooh, I love mail : ) !
IE Vampire Toast: I randomly like things that are toast characters. Maybe it started w/ Powered Toast Man from Ren & Stimpy, I don’t know. (Moldy & burnt toast here: http://ow.ly/delJ
I am so glad you featured the Flushing Mall! I go there nearly every day to work on a cow for the Flushing CowParade in the open studios on the second level, so I feel like I work/live in this mall :)
The mall has some really interesting and unique shops to discover and wonderful prices plus the best dumplings ever! It’s really worth a visit.
LIZ!!! That is so coooool! I’ll have you know that I was obsessed with the first cow parade, and have a stuffed cow with flowers all over it in honor of the event. I saw the blank cows at the flushing mall and was pretty much in awe. It is so cool that you are working on one!
