Does anyone know where I can donate my old college textbooks? 90-95% of them are like new with writing. I have a lot of textbooks I no longer want.

Library doesn’t want them. They’re mostly textbooks in math and sciences.

Edit:

Thanks everyone. Someone picked all of them up.

Anyone know why they both closed ? Kung fu xiao long bao has been closed awhile but looks like Shanghai eats closed this month.

(Sorry about all the typos. Typing from mobile.)

Hoi Polloi is now closed where we could play ping pong and just drink. Anywhere else I can go?

Hi everyone,

My girlfriend just got accepted into Queens College for Spring 2025! Yay for her :) Currently, she is overseas and we are almost definitely choosing this university. We propose to move in the Flushing area, due to easy access to the college and near the 7/LIRR for my office work. However, I have some thoughts/questions.

Given she is an international student, we will have to rely on my income for the first few months. I am expecting a raise in January 2025, to which should place my base salary at over $70,000 a year. Right now, it is at $65,000 and with overtime throughout this year, will definitely exceed $70,000.

I want to ask whether this budget of $1,700 a month, due to typical 40x rent rule, is possible to find a studio or a shared apartment arrangement not too far from Main Street, or the buses that lead to Queens College at this range? I have started the search via typical online websites and some studios are around this budget. It seems that most people do not prefer to share a home with a couple, so we are going to try and find our own place.

Alternately, I have also seen the dadi360 website shared here. We are both non-Chinese. Is it realistic if I can find a slightly cheaper room on there, but with the chance that we can be allowed to rent from there?

Thanks all for any advice or suggestions!

I live in an apartment building with open stairs so sounds from the lobby can easily be heard on the 6th floor because of the echoes. There’s this dog on the third floor that barks from 9am-6pm straight every single weekday when the owners are working. It’s been going on for months. These people aren’t even allowed to have pets on their lease. I’ve contacted the landlord who says he can’t do much, even after mentioning that they’re not allowed to have pets. Ive been sending him videos for two weeks straight through email to which he never replies to. I have also contacted 311 and 911, nothing happened. Has anyone been through anything similar and knows what to do?

Does anyone know of any jobs hiring for evening hours (4 PM - 1 AM) that does not require you to speak Chinese? I’m a pretty hard worker (I have a lot of experience in food management with a food safety license), have a masters degree in data analytics (pretty good with computers). Looking for a second job due to high cost of living 😭.

Just moved to the area with my family and was wondering if flushing was a good area to trick or treat in or if there’s specific areas I should look into. Thanks everyone!

Title says it all. I have four lightly modified precons and am looking for folks in the Flushing area who would be interested in some casual EDH games on the weekends. I'm able to host as needed.

Hey, does anyone know where I can buy a new or used digital or film camera? I don’t have Facebook for marketplace and am sketched out by Craigslist. Would rather buy from a local shop or flea market

As background, I’m a new immigrant looking to find a good place to live in New York with a strong Asian community. Having lived in Singapore for half my life, I think I’d feel right at home in a neighborhood with a similar cultural mix. I have many Chinese friends (mostly from Singapore rather than mainland China), so I’m used to hearing Mandarin, even though I don’t speak it fluently. Since English is Singapore’s national language, that’s what I primarily speak.

My question is: considering these neighborhoods seem predominantly Chinese, can I live comfortably here speaking mainly English—especially for everyday things like errands, dining at restaurants, and shopping? I’d love any insights from people familiar with the area. Thanks!

Anyone know a reputable or good tailor?

Just simple stuff to size down pleated trousers.

Thanks again

Anyone know where to reliably get Relx pod refills around Flushing? i know where to get them online but would be nice to have a source for shorter notice...

I am 4+ years in operations of an e-commerce based business and would like to finally sit down with someone that has experience and expertise in the small business realm of things. Is there anything specific I should look for? Does anyone have any recommendations local to Flushing or NYC?

Hello, I am from out of state and will be hosting my son’s first birthday in Flushing.

Do you know what bakery has a not so sweet light and fluffy fruit cake without strawberry jam in the middle?

Looking for somewhere that sells fresh, whole, unfrozen Makrut Limes. Bright green in colour with the wrinkly skin. Need to buy them this weekend. Any clues? Thanks in advance!

During rush hours and every weekend, Roosevelt Av going west can be a standstill. I can see buses bunched up 5-6 deep before hitting Main St terminus like the Q12 and Q15. Then Union St is a nightmare coming from Northern Blvd. Q13,16, and 28 always get stuck trying to turn with traffic into 37th Ave up to 5-10 min just to go one bus stop. It is insanity. Weekdays, the family does take the bus but I rather drive in on the weekend because it is even worse.

Admittedly, I am part of the traffic problem but to be fair, we're usually 2-3 passengers in a small EV and I try to avoid Union and Roosevelt like the plague. Forget about Prince St when turning in from Northern Blvd.

With the new development happening around the area, I can't imagine things getting better without better public infrastructure and transit. Downtown Flushing could use a central transit hub and more bus lanes.

There are proposals but nothing on the budget, like this one: https://nyc25x25.org/queens.html

Hello Flushing community,

We are a group of engineers who have been providing internet services for businesses in Manhattan office buildings since 1999. Now, we’ve come together to form a new ISP right here in Flushing to provide better service tailored to the needs of the community, and to offer service that isn’t tied to Verizon or Spectrum in any way.

Our company is brand new, small, and focused on delivering reliable, high-speed internet. We have the funding, the equipment, and we’re ready to expand off of our dedicated fiber optic network located on Main Street. Every customer will be connected to our network via fiber optic cable and will receive a free WiFi 6E router.

To start, we are looking to connect our first 100 customers at a great discount. The service will be 1 GIG speed for only $50, which is half of our anticipated price of $100.

We want to hear from you! What should we do to serve you better? We’re also planning to offer free street-level WiFi on Main Street. If you’re interested in using our service or want to help us build out our network, please reach out.

We are excited to bring something new to Flushing and to work together with the community to provide the best internet service possible.

Thank you!
