Tangram Mall: One Piece pop-up!
I was confusing this mall with the other one down the street from it. once we went inside, I notice many differences such as the theatre for one and there were more places for food than to shop.
keep in mind I'm pregnant and wearing a support belt trying to get some steps in before my body makes me sit down . however, before that I was able to explore several anime influenced shops, we saw there was a One Piece pop up and learned that we missed a performance that was done here a couple days ago.
As I previously mentioned, there were many places to eat but I have to be mindful of what I eat so as not to spike my blood sugar. My friend had the dish in the last photo and I attempted a pork boa bun. I won't say their name because I didn't like the food and I can't say if that's due to being pregnant or if it was actually nasty .
this was a fun adventure but my entire lower body felt like it was ready to fall off the bone by the end of the visit .
Hey everyone! Recently, I explored Tangram Mall in Flushing, NYC, and wanted to share some deeper insights for those planning a visit. It's more than just a regular shopping center; it truly feels like a vibrant hub, especially for foodies and anime enthusiasts. Located in the heart of Flushing, it stands out with its unique blend of offerings, often surprising even seasoned mall-goers. While catching a specific event was my main draw, I quickly realized Tangram has a dynamic atmosphere. You'll often find exciting pop-up events, much like the incredible One Piece themed store I saw. Imagine walking in and seeing a vibrant red entrance, complete with an inflatable ship mast towering overhead, just like stepping into the world of your favorite characters! Inside, the store was packed with exclusive merchandise, making it a treasure trove for fans. Beyond the temporary pop-ups, there are several anime-influenced shops that are a permanent fixture. I spotted amazing displays, including detailed life-sized anime character statues – I even saw a cool Naruto Uzumaki statue standing proudly! These shops are perfect for finding unique collectibles, manga, or just soaking in the fandom culture. It's truly a place where you can immerse yourself in the world of Japanese animation. Now, let's talk about the food! Tangram Mall is a haven for culinary adventures. There are so many eateries, from casual cafes to more upscale dining options. You can find a huge variety of Asian cuisines, particularly Korean and Chinese, as well as American comfort food. Whether you're craving a steaming bowl of noodles, fresh sushi, or something quick like a bao bun, you're likely to find it here. My advice? Don't be afraid to try some of the smaller, less obvious stalls; they often hide the most authentic and delicious bites. I glimpsed many people enjoying dishes with sliced meats, vibrant vegetables like corn and green peas – truly a feast for the eyes and palate. It's a fantastic spot for a food crawl with friends or family. Beyond the food and anime, Tangram Mall also boasts a fantastic movie theater, offering a comfortable place to catch the latest blockbusters. While it might not be as heavy on clothing retail as some other malls, it makes up for it with specialty stores and unique services. If you're planning a visit, especially if you intend to explore all the levels and shops, be prepared for some walking! The mall is quite expansive, so comfortable shoes are a must. Parking can sometimes be a bit tricky in Flushing, so consider public transport options or checking the mall's parking availability beforehand. Overall, Tangram Mall offers a rich and varied experience, making it a great destination for a day out in Flushing, whether you're there for a specific event, a foodie adventure, or just to explore unique shops.
