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 and 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 and 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 and 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.

• 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 and there is offal available, notably including pig intestine dishes.

Service is kinda slow. Think the restaurant's full? Think again! This restaurant has a tiny staircase that brings you down to the basement, where the service is obviously slower. Those are the good and bad about Sushi Village. Try the Kamikaze Roll if you want a hint of spice!

Stay Safe

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.
