You’ll Have to Check It Out - White Bear
White Bear is the textbook definition of a hole-in-the-wall, family-run delicious food joint in Queens. It's located in Flushing, which is home to one of the largest Chinese populations outside China.
Most people recommend getting the #6, which is pork wontons, with hot sauce/chili oil, and it is delicious.
Know that there's nowhere to eat or sit at the restaurant, so it's something you can take and walk out with. It's a perfect pre-Governors Ball spot, as it's only one stop away from Flushing Meadows Corona Park.
Cash is their only accepted form of payment. Check out White Bear in Flushing here.
