Edit
Flushing is one of Queens' most commercially active neighborhoods, home to the fourth-largest central business district in all of New York City. Its core intersection at Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue ranks among the busiest in the city, and the energy that radiates outward from there reflects just how much this neighborhood has to offer. Anchored by Queens Botanical Garden and the sprawling Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, the area balances dense urban activity with genuine green space. The New York Mets call this neighborhood home at Citi Field, and USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center hosts the U.S. Open each summer nearby. Flushing dates to 1645, making it one of the oldest settlements in the region, and that deep history gives the neighborhood a sense of permanence that newer developments can't replicate.
