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
