Flushing is more of an urban-style Chinatown, but different from the traditional Chinatowns. It looks more like a mini-Hong Kong. Very glassy and glitzy new money style. ...
The Queens [[NYC) Council of the Arts published A Guide to Communities along the #7 Train in 2005. It describes which ethnic enclaves are centered at each of the stops of the #7 train. My first scan is of the front and back covers which includes a map of the #7's route. The next 2 scans are of the Flushing neighborhood. [[Sorry for the poor quality of my scans.)
