Serious Eats: New York
Dumplings-Centric Flushing Food Itinerary
If you need some help navigating the overwhelming food-scape of Flushing, this sample itinerary might give you some ideas. Earlier this month I went to Flushing for an afternoon of face-stuffing with a group of friends, including fellow serious eaters Joe DiStefano, Kathy YL Chan, Kathryn Yu, and Greg Takayama. Using Kathryn's Chowhound write-up as an outline, Kathy wrote about our dumpling-centric excursion in her blog, A Passion for Food, accompanied by plenty of food porn. Although we hadn't started off with a plan, over three and a half hours we hit Best North Dumpling, White Bear Dumplings, Xian Famous Foods, the Flushing Mall, Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao, and Sun Mary Bakery.
Should you eat that much within three and a half hours? Probably not. But trips to Flushing are sparse for some of us, and I see Flushing as an alternate dimension where the stomach grows to accommodate excessive food.
