Hey! I used to live here!
Ahh, downtown Flushing. Kind of a United Nations, food-wise, and just a quick straight ride down Kissena on the Q17 (or a longer, meandering walk). Part of me actually misses it! There is (was?) one particular place under the bridge where you could get the best steamed buns (red bean paste style). It was right by a filthy alley, but the buns were just so good! Next door, you could also pick up those Chinese slippers I posted about a while back. Now, I would have to travel to Chinatown in Boston on the silly baby electric trains they have here. Definitely not the same as grabbing something sweet on the way home from work. Or while shopping. Or any time at all...

You could also take the 25/34. Sheesh, how (and why) am I remembering this?
And don't ask me why I was looking up quenepas, either. For some reason I had a hankering, and *that* is how I found afullbelly.com. In case anyone was wondering.
I never ate at those places, but I do vividly remember the dead ducks hanging in the window of the place a few stores over!
