The popular Flushing Street Festival returns next month for its sixth year and is expected to draw thousands of people, from near and far, to taste the neighborhood’s famed cuisine and more from over 80 vendors. 

The festival will shut down 40th Road between Prince Street and Main Street in the heart of downtown Flushing on Sept. 14 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for attendees to celebrate Flushing. Last year more than 25,000 people attended.

There are currently nearly 70 vendors registered for the street festival and with vendor registration still open, that number is expected to pass 80. Local businesses interested in joining the festival can contact the Flushing BID by phone at 718-888-1805 or by email at fc@flushingbid.com

Three sought in armed robbery near Flushing Meadows Corona Park: NYPD

Police from the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst are looking for armed robbers who targeted a 26-year-old woman in Corona and remain at large nearly two weeks later.

Police say three strangers approached the woman as she walked near the Playground for All Children in Flushing Meadows Corona Park at Corona Avenue and Saultell Avenue at around 4:20 a.m. on Friday, July 12. One of the perpetrators allegedly pulled out a small silver revolver and threatened the victim, while the others forcibly removed two yellow gold necklaces worth $2,000, according to the police report; however, an NYPD spokesman said it is not clear if that was the value of both chains or each one individually.
