A little while ago in an entry entitled "Walking to China", I described a mini adventure guided by my son Jon, wherein we seemingly left this country and walked into Asia. Turns out, of course, that the exotic sights, sounds, smells and tastes we experienced were just a short stroll over the bridge from Shea Stadium into Flushing. While the title of the blog was mis-stated, the wonders we found definitely were not.
Recently, the New York Times did a piece called, Let the Meals Begin: Finding Beijing in Flushing which described in far more vivid detail the fascinating neighborhood Jon introduced us to.
Click the link above and read about it yourself. Or even better, the next time you are in the area of Shea Stadium - or Citi Field if you go next year - check it out yourself. If you are even slightly a fan of Asian food or culture, you will be delighted that you did.
See you out there.
