Queens Culinary Scene Shines as US Open Draws Over a Million Fans
As the US Open approaches, more than a million tennis fans are expected to visit Queens, New York, providing an opportunity to showcase the borough's diverse culinary offerings. The 7 train, known as 'The International Express,' will transport many of these visitors to the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Along the route, fans can explore a variety of ethnic cuisines, from Thai dishes in Long Island City to Neapolitan-style pizzas in Sunnyside. Notable restaurants include Soothr LIC, known for its Thai flavors, and Sotto Le Stelle, offering traditional Italian fare. In Jackson Heights, Om Wok and Mariscos El Submarino provide Tibetan and Mexican seafood options, respectively. The culinary journey continues in Elmhurst with El Guachito's Argentinian grill and in Corona with Park Side Restaurant's Italian-American classics. Flushing offers a rich selection of dim sum and soup dumplings at Shanghai You Garden.
