Flushing

Flushing sits in north-central Queens and centers around the busy Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue hub, where the 7 train, LIRR, and dozens of bus routes bring steady crowds to its markets, malls, and eateries. Visitors come for Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the Queens Botanical Garden, the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, and Citi Field, which makes traffic heaviest around Downtown Flushing, College Point Boulevard, and the approaches to the park.

Street parking is largely metered with time limits, residential blocks have posted regulations including alternate-side street cleaning, and demand is highest near Main Street, New World Mall, and SkyView Center, so municipal lots and private garages can be the quickest option. Use posted signs and the ParkNYC app, and always verify current rules with official sources before you arrive. To save time and reduce stress, book parking in Flushing in advance so you can focus on your meal, meeting, or museum without circling for a spot.
