There are so many food places to try in Flushing. However, I thought that it would be more fun if we were to combine both food quest and the Flushing Freedom Mile. For starters, we will take the Orange Trail. 1. St George’s Church Grab a Red Mango frozen yogurt before starting your walking tour in the scorching sun 2. Daniel Carter Beard Square 3. Former RKO Keith’s Theatre 4. Flushing Town Hall 5. Lewis Latimer House Have a meal, say, Bimbibap, at Namoodol Restaurant and; Grab Sweet Red Bean Fish at Han Ah Reum Mart 6. Flushing High School 7. State Armory Drop by West Udon Restaurant for the Potato Croquette with Tonkatsu Sauce Drop by Arirang Restaurant and try their Chicken with handmade noodles 8. Friends Meeting Place Green Trail  1. Site of Flushing Female Association School  Try Madina’s Afghanistan Mixed-meat over rice Grab Red Mango’s frozen yogurt to cool yourself under the scorching sun  2.

After trying out the two frozen yogurt dessert chains in Flushing, Queens, I made a comparison between the two popular froyo brands - Pinkberry and Red Mango . To make an objective comparison, I ordered the same toppings and size of the popular froyo. My evaluations were based on the following: Sweetness - How sweet the frozen yogurt was Almond - Quality of almond (slices/crushed) Cocoa chips - Quality of Cocoa chips Mango - Freshness of Mango slices Portion of toppings Affordability - Is it value for money Preference Ranking Frozen Yogurt (Small) Comparison Chart Variables Pinkberry Red Mango Sweetness Moderate Moderate Toppings: Almond Excellent Average Toppings: Cocoa chips Excellent Excellent Toppings: Mango Average Excellent Portion of Toppings Generous Generous Affordability Affordable Affordable Preference ranking

Another frozen yogurt chain store, Red Mango, opened along Roosevelt Ave at about one minute’s walk from its competitor – Pinkberry . A different concept from Pinkberry, Red Mango has more seats for customers to rest and enjoy the refreshing frozen yogurt. In comparison, Pinkberry , with a narrow stall space, is more suitable for takeaways. Founded in 2002 in South Korea, the giant Frozen Yogurt chain entered the US market in July 2007 and is the first retailer of frozen yogurt to receive the National Yogurt Association’s Live and Active Culture Seal. Yogurt is good for you. Burnt by the blazing sun, my husband and I decided to check out Red Mango outlet along Roosevelt Ave and enjoy the frozen yogurt. Price : We ordered a large cup of Original frozen yogurt with three toppings – grapes, mango and watermelon at around $9.00. The toppings were generous. Quality : The toppings were very fresh. A fussy person when it comes to fruits, I enjoyed every mouthful of frozen yogurt and
