Who would have thought that the most lively food scene in Flushing late at night is not even in the…read moreheart of downtown Flushing? Instead, walk 10-15 minutes south on Kissena Blvd and you will find a group of street vendors gathering nightly on the sidewalk right in front of Gold City Supermarket. On a beautiful night, you'll find many people camping out on the ledge of the supermarket parking lot, or even putting out picnic blankets, while enjoying various street foods they can find at this great little "food fest". The street vendors are from different regions of China and serves all sorts of yummy goodies. You can find lots of fried items, soup noodles, grilled skewers, marinated meats and veggies, desserts, etc. One of my favorite stalls is the vendor selling hand torn shredded chicken ($25 each), which they dress up in seasoning and spices. They use an older chicken that has a firmer texture that won't fall apart when tearing the meat. The flavor is wonderful and absolutely addictive. They even give you a frequent buyer card that gets you a free chicken when you reached six purchases. The same stall also sells marinated items that are quite good. You are allowed to mix and match as long as they have the same price point. Another stall I would recommend is the stinky tofu stall. There are often more than one, but I like the one with the longest table space only dedicated to this single product, often in the middle of the block. If you have never tried this delicacy, close your nose and give it a go. You may be pleasantly surprised. Other stands that are popular include the BBQ grilled meats over charcoal, where you can get $2-3 skewers of lamb, beef, chicken wings, and whole lot more. Also, if you see the man grilling whole squids, his stuff is quite tasty too. Bottom line, it's a fun evening hanging out with your friends and snacking on various yummy bites. Be brave and try something new. Though there are few English signs, just order what looks good. Find a day with nice weather and check it out soon.

It is directly across from the Dunkin Donuts in the middle of a dozen Mexican street food vendors, you can't miss it with its blue and white umbrella cover. In a busy intersection filled with cars, people, running trains, and classic Mexican street food, you will find Pinchos La Suquita (a skewer cart) selling BBQ pork and chicken skewers, chorizo sausages, roast pork, and one of my favorites, Elote (grilled Mexican street corn). For $3 you have a choice between grilled or boiled corn, with mayo and Cotija cheese. For less than $10 you can get more than you can eat. The neighborhood around Corona Plaza is filled with authentic Mexican restaurants, street vendors, bakeries, and supermarkets. A wonderful cultural experience that starts with this central food cart.

They offer churros with dulce de leche, cocadas (coconut snacks), roasted nuts, pasteis (empanadas). On weekends, they make the elusive acaraje, a specialty of Bahia.
