Flushing, Queens

Jo and I went on an adventure to Flushing yesterday. Flushing's Chinatown is even larger than Manhattan's Chinatown. According to Jo, Flushing is mostly first generation, and growing, whereas Manhattan's Chinatown is third generation, and shrinking.

It was fun hearing Jo speak Mandarin to shopkeepers.

We did not buy pig heads or duck heads, but I took pictures for Samuel and Ethan.

And guess what we found at the Flushing library?

Back on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, we celebrated the day (and Ethan's ACT test completion) with...you guessed it...Italian.
