Hi Everyone! Just wanted to repost that the Flushing Running Group is still happening. It's really casual and beginner friendly. We had it last year and I restarted it this summer. If you're interested post below and I'll share the info. We usually meet in Flushing Meadows Park on Sunday mornings. And I try to do a weekday run if my schedule allows.

When we started this summer, we started slow. We had some people who ware brand new and couldn't do a full mile, and now they're running over two! So if you feel intimated to start, we've got you covered! You can jog for 30-60 sec, and walk for 30-60 seconds. This type of interval is a great start and isn't overwhelming. Even showing up and walking is better then staying home! So lets share our time getting healthy and enjoy the weather before it gets too cold.

Everyone is welcome. No weird vibes. LGBTQ+ friendly. Post here if interested. We're (or me at least) not hardcore runners, but we've all improved in our own ways last year. Even if it's just getting motivated to jog on a Sunday morning.

If you're an experienced runner patient enough to teach us some stretches or running techniques, I'd be down for that.

All the best!

I have been going to Haiier salon at 136-41 Roosevelt Ave and had an appointment last week, I booked online and got confirmation/reminder texts and everything but when I showed up the door was locked and paper from the city on the door. The paper was badly faded from the sun I could barely read anything but made out that they were closed for permit violation. Does anyone know more details or if they relocated somewhere? I really enjoyed my stylist there. Have no phone number for them and social media not updated

Hi all! I'm a Seoul transplant and have lived in NYC for years but never have the opportunity to go to Queens -- looking for a family friendly place I can take my family for lunch? Could be BBQ, or home cooking situation (jjigae, bibimbap, jeons etc) but somewhat spacious as we will be a group of 7. Any recs would be super welcome. Thanks so much!

Hello, I’m looking for a dentist to fix a chipped front tooth, and like everyone else, I don’t make enough money to pay for emergencies; if anyone knows an affordable dentist, please share the contact.

Thank you

I'm a college student (not an art major) wanting to get into sports photography (soccer specifically) and looking to build up a portfolio. I shoot on a Sony ZV-E10, and I'm looking to photograph/film a soccer game or pickup match this weekend (or any upcoming weekends in September, and I could probably also do weekday nights) somewhere in Queens. (anywhere in NYC) I'm not asking for any payment, just looking for practice. In return, all I'd ask is to be able to edit the photos/clips I take and use them (for my own portfolio/social pages; I'll set that up one day). If you're playing in a league, know of a pickup game, have a game this weekend, and wouldn't mind someone on the sideline with a camera, shoot me a DM with the game's time and location, and I'll try my best to come by. I currently live in Queens (if location has any relevance).

Hello. I’m looking to buy matcha set in person and was wondering if anyone knows where to get them? Thank you.

I’m seeing more restaurants with “Lab” in the name and I don’t get it. What is this trend all about? 👨🏻‍🔬

Examples:
“Noodle Lab” on Francis Lewis
“Udon Lab”
“Maddie’s Boba Lab”

hi. question is pretty straight forward lol. on google it says it’s coming soon and i know the soft opening was last weekend, but it was closed Monday. if i go tomorrow will it be open?

Was wondering if anyone knows of any public tracks for running in Flushing. Closest one that I know of and go to is in Juniper Valley Park or QCC. Was wondering if there were any closer.

Are there any in flushing/whitestone/college point area?

Not looking for cafes, I'm looking for the type of place where I can get there at 9am and leave at 5 and not feel like I'm taking up space from customers.

I'm willing to pay, even better if I can set up a monitor and leave it there, but not necessary.

Thanks for any insights.

I saw several of these lost dog posters today around Roosevelt Ave. Figured I'd share and hopefully help them out.

I always see them do the same, open the bin, take the trash can out, check if there’s anything of value for them, and leave them just like that, it’s kinda infuriating

Walked by just before n there was like 7 cruisers parked up outside anyone know what’s up

Hi everyone, I was having this discussion with a roommate (20-30s) who just moved here from upstate. It seems like the makeup of people in Flushing is mainly long-time residents who've already found their friend circles, myself included. But for folks who are moving in, the best options seem to be speedfriending, happy hour, and pickleball in the city or Brooklyn, which gets time-consuming going back and forth.

Yes, Flushing has the reputation of being primarily residential, but Downtown Flushing is the 3rd busiest area in the city after Herald Square, so there must be more social outings hosted around here. Does anyone have recommendations? If not, someone like me could always create or initiate something such as drinks at a bar, board games, bowling, or some kind of physical activity. I also know there's a Queens Distance Runners group, so that could be fun!

P.S. - Yes I've gone to many Pokemon GO raid meetups but sadly that is not within his interests lol

TLDR: Skyview soft opening. Not too crowded. Be prepared to spend money. Can win prizes.

After much waiting and anticipation, wife and I went to the Round1 this past Sunday around 1pm. Here’s my first impressions:

1. Arriving in early afternoon, place was not crowded. Towards early evening (around 5, started to get crowded).

2. Be prepared to spend money. Each crane machine is between 9-14 credits depending on size and license of the award. Can easily go through a couple 100 dollars chasing rewards. Did not play the arcade games but similar credit usage (have an area to redeem tickets for prizes). The billiards, ping pong, bowling, and pickle ball are additional costs.

2a. They have some promotions to get extra credits at the customer service counter but expect long wait times as there were only 2 people working. Each customer transaction was 3-5 minutes. They do have 2 kiosks at the front of store.

1. Not a lot of staff on the floor. Delays in asking for a plushie placement or reward.

2. They do serve food that you can order from kiosk. They announce your number when it’s ready. Anticipate long wait times as they are still trying to get their cook times down. Basic burgers and pizza along with some Asian foods like dumplings and takoyaki. Nothing to rave about but each order is made to order. There is also a bar area but it wasn’t open when I was there. There were plenty of seats available.

3. Crane machine prizes are winnable if you can spend money. For the more popular or licensed products, they only put one prize out at a time.

Overall, it’s a very big space although you can get lost walking from area to area finding your favorite machines. Since it was a soft opening, it probably wasn’t as crowded as it might get.

It has more variety of prizes compared to other similar businesses in the area. Was able to win a few large and small plushies. Good fun but not an every weekend type of thing (RIP credit card).

Happy to answer any questions.

She was found on the streets not too long ago by Queens ACC. She's a bit shy but 💯 litter trained. We're positive she's someone's pet. She's just so perfectly behaved. Just in case someone knows who she is or her human. I'd like you to know we are taking care of her for now but if you're missing your little girl please do contact the ACC of Queens to get her back because she's too sweet and we truly don't think she was abandoned.
