Food Markets
Supermarkets
Flushing’s supermarkets cater to different demographics, notably Chinese, Korean, and American. In these Chinese supermarkets, products of Chinese, Korean, and American origins are sold, with products familiar to their customers of Chinese, Korean, and American roots, with labels of products in all three languages. Products can also be seen with more than one language on the label. These supermarkets, catering more towards Chinese and Korean audiences, stock American items to a lesser extent, limiting American products to a few shelves within the aisles. There is also a large emphasis placed on the freshness of items, where products such as fresh cuts of meat and seafood are placed on display for consumers to pick by hand and purchase.
Bakeries
Behind glass covers, there is a variety of baked goods to enjoy such as hot dog buns, pork buns, pineapple buns, and egg custard. In addition, beside and under the cashier counter, there are individual sized cakes and cookies. Chinese bakeries may also offer oily sticks and dim sum. Posters on the wall behind the counter list various beverages in Chinese and English including the popular bubble tea and fruit smoothies.
Restaurants
Restaurants in Flushing look to serve their audiences by serving both Americanized Chinese dishes and traditional Chinese dishes. Serving both traditional and “modern” breakfast, lunch, and dinner, dim sum, and house favorites such as shabu shabu (hotpot), sushi and sashimi, and Korean BBQ, Flushing’s restaurants represent a wide variety of Asian cuisines straight from the source, due to the influx of immigrants to Flushing.
