Flushing, founded in 1645, was one of the first Dutch settlements on Long Island. Today, it is one of the largest and most diverse neighborhoods in New York City. Flushing's diversity is reflected by the numerous ethnic groups that reside there, including people of Asian, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, European, and African American ancestry, as well as Ashkernazi Mizrahi, Sephardi and Bukhari Jewish communities. Flushing is among the most religiously diverse communities in America. There are "over 200 places of worship in this small urban neighborhood .

The Botanical Garden carries on Flushing's nearly three centuries long horticultural tradition, dating back to its once famed tree nurseries and seed farms.In 1657, while Flushing was still a Dutch settlement, a document known as the “ Flushing Remonstrance was created by Edward Hart, the town clerk, where some thirty ordinary citizens protested a ban imposed by Peter Stuyvesant, the director general of New Amsterdam, forbidding the harboring of Quakers.

Flushing Town Hall is always a joy to visit, particularly as it features local artists' work in exhibit and in its gift shop, and features great jazz concerts and other events. My family goes here at least once every couple of months.

We went there to see GALUMPHA. Very easy to get to but parking was not so easy. They do not have facilities (except for members) and finding a spot on the street was challenging. Leave time. The show we saw was up a flight of stairs. Don’t know if they have an elevator. The restroom was clean.

I highly recommend a visit if you love jazz at an affordable price. My husband is a musician and very particular in his taste. We always enjoy the Town Hall experience especially since their renovation.

This building has been beautifully preserved and is a great place to cater special events. It is right in the heart of historic Queens with the memorials to war vets in a small park in front of the building. It is within walking distance of several 17th century buildings. Any one visiting this building should take the time for a walking tour of the entire area.It is within walking distance of The Bowne House Historical Society, Queens Historical Society, and the Voelker Orth Museum, among others. The historical buildings of Flushing are some of the oldest in the entire country, and they have been well preserved.

Had a look at an exhibition they had on here and enjoyed it. There was also a free concert by the Queens Symphony one Friday night, which was very enjoyable.

This Town Hall has been preserved nicely. They have special events here. Check their schedule. There are some free concerts here also sometimes. They also cater special events. Parking is very, very small. It is for members only.You can take the bus that stops right in front of it or a taxi. Very Historic place in Flushing ,Queens USA.

Prior to becoming part of New York City, Town Hall served as the seat of government for the town of Flushing. It was constructed in 1862 in the then popular Rundbogenstile (round arch style) of brick and brownstone. The street level has some large rooms and the second, a large auditorium formerly used for public meetings and court sessions.Town Hall is presently occupied by the Flushing Council on Culture and the Arts that presents various kinds of concerts and small exhibitions. This is a local attraction that poses no serious competition to the world class cultural institutions of Manhattan. It is located on Northern Boulevard at Linden Place, just across from the ancient Flushing Quaker Meeting House from 1694.
