Best things to do in Queens/Flushing-Northeast

Citi Field - Citi Field

• New York Mets - Citi Field Subway: {{NYCS|7Train to Mets - Willets Point; LIRR: Port Washington Line to Mets - Willets Point - Tickets range from $12 for outfield seats to over $100 for a seat behind home plate Built in 2009, the Mets' new ballpark has a unique architectural entrance which pays homage to the design of Ebbets Field, mimicking the old architecture of the Brooklyn Dodgers' ballpark with its arched facade. The name of the entrance, the Jackie Robinson Rotunda, honors the first black player in modern Baseball in the United States|Major League Baseball, who played for the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field. A museum dedicated to the Mets is next to the rotunda and open on game days. If the Mets hit a home run, look for the Home Run Apple rising out of the center field wall; if you're not so lucky (this is the Mets, after all), you can still view the Home Run Apple from the now-demolished Shea Stadium between Citi Field and the 7 subway station.
  Unfortunately, there isn't much to do surrounding the stadium, so anybody looking for post-game activities will have to take the 7 train to other parts of Queens or go into Manhattan. The surrounding area of Willets Point is infamously home to a cluster of chop shops. However, plans for development and neighborhood revitalization are underway.

Halal Restaurants in Queens/Flushing-Northeast

• Spicy and Tasty | 39-07 Prince St, 1H north of Roosevelt Ave ☎ +1 718 359-1601 - Expect to pay roughly $15-22/person for lunch or dinner Spicy and Tasty used to be arguably the best Sichuan-style restaurant in New York, but they have changed management, and recent reports have been mixed.

• Lu's Seafood | 38-18 Prince Street at 39th Ave A popular Taiwanese restaurant. They serve thick and thin soups which are big enough for a meal with or without a cold dish. For those who want it, there is offal available, notably including pig intestine dishes.

• East Manor | 46-45 Kissena Blvd at Laburnum Ave ☎ +1 718 888-8998 A Zagat Survey rated restaurant that serves some of the best Chinese, Korean, and Japanese food in New York City.

• Sunway | Prince St and 38th Ave - Delicious dim sum all day as well as a full menu. Come for the dim sum, stay for the specialty drinks with fun names.

• AA Plaza | 40-66 Main Street directly under the LIRR overpass - Serves fast and inexpensive take-out food for commuters. The scallion pancakes ($1) are particularly good. No seating - eat on your feet, or if the weather permits, sit on the steps of the public library across the street.

Stay safe as a Muslim in Queens/Flushing-Northeast

Walking on Roosevelt Av. between Citi Field and Main St. is not a good idea. The route is very unpleasant, going past automobile body shops and across bridges spanning the polluted Flushing River, with broken glass on the walkways. This naturally means that few pedestrians will be found on the streets and maximizes the chance of meeting weirdos. The walkways are primarily used as a bicycle route for local workers. From Mets - Willets Pt. to Flushing - Main St. is one stop on the 7 Train. Take the train.
