From the New York City Eater website, ‘If you grew up in Flushing, you went to Corner 28. Sure, that’s an exaggeration, but Corner 28 did establish the local benchmark for roast meat, and it was once home to the famous $1 Peking duck bun. Its location has jumped around the neighborhood but always prevailed at making a show of its tender and sweet roast duck and pork hanging in the window. To buy: Order with the staff, take the ticket to the cashier, purchase with cash only, and then take the receipt for pick-up. There’s hidden, limited seating in the back. As for the Peking duck buns, they’ve moved to the dim sum stalls at their sister restaurant, Shanghai You Garden. For years, this window provided Flushing’s most iconic snack right on Main Street: a fleecy steamed bao folded over a few slivers of duck with sauce like a salty hoisin. It was a three-bite thrill. A few years ago, the establishment moved down 40th Road to the rear of a bustling Chinese prepared-food emporium. At a dollar apiece, these buns remain an amazing bargain.’ Joshua recommends ordering crispy and roast pork or duck over rice.
