The Flushing Business Improvement District is launching its first ever restaurant week on Monday.

The weeklong event, which goes from May 23 through May 31, aims to showcase 15 restaurants in Downtown Flushing.

The restaurants will offer prix-fixe lunch and early dinner specials starting at $20. The establishments participating will serve a variety of Asian cuisines, such as Japanese sushi, Malaysian food, Spicy Sichuan dishes, North China BBQ, Taiwanese food and more.

“We are hosting Flushing Restaurant Week because we want everyone to know about the unique dining experience that can be had in Downtown Flushing,” said Diansong Yu, the executive director of the Flushing BID. “We want people to try the hotpots, the barbeque and all the restaurant styles.”

In recent years, the BID has held a “Flushing Food Festival” at the Sheraton LaGuardia Hotel which is essentially a sampling event where participants get to taste items from an array of restaurants over a 2 1/2-hour period.

Yu says the festival has been popular but a restaurant week aims to lure foodies to the establishments themselves.

The public can claim a free $5 voucher that can be used at any one of the participating restaurants from the Flushing BID’s info booth. The booth will be open in front of the Flushing library between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Sunday.

The participating restaurants and their menus can be found at the Flushing BID website.

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide. Thanks to the tireless efforts by our city’s law enforcement officers, we’ve padlocked thousands of illegal shops and created safer streets for children and families. But we’re not stopping there.”
