Did you know there are 2 Chinatowns in NYC? The original (and oldest) is in Lower Manhattan. And today, it's reported that the city's fastest-growing ethnic Chinese community is in Queens, where Howard Johnson Flushing is located. Many tempting, budget-friendly Asian restaurants are within walking distance. Two blocks away, you can catch the subway for the 40-minute ride to Midtown and Times Square, or hop the bus for the 35-minute trip to LaGuardia Airport. If you have a car, LaGuardia is an easy 10-minute drive from the hotel, and JFK International is 15 minutes away. Plus, you're within 1.5 miles of Citi Field, home of the NY Mets, and Arthur Ashe Stadium, home of the US Open Tennis Championships. There's no parking at this Howard Johnson, but valet parking (surcharge) is available less than 1 block away. Mornings, you can save money and time with the complimentary continental breakfast. Use the free Wi-Fi, available throughout the hotel, to research Manhattan sights or check sports scores. A microwave in the lobby allows you to heat up snacks, and you can pour yourself some java from the pot nearby, or use the coffeemaker in your room. Switch on your TV to catch up on news, or sit at the desk to write an old-fashioned postcard.
