Here's where to find delicious jian bing in Flushing, Queens:
Golden Mall, on 41st Road, west of Flushing Main Street.
The entrance on the south side of 41st Road takes you down a ramp to a basement-level food court. Take a left and you'll see the stand on your left! This is real jian bing.
Caveat emptor: While I found the stand's jian bing a satisfying substitute for the authentic Beijing street snack (the subtle difference probably owing to absence of some prohibited additive), it will set you back $3.50. Tai guai le ba!
I had a craving for this street food after coming back from Beijing and couldn't find an easy answer online about where to get it in New York. As a service to jian bing enthusiasts, I am attempting to 'SEO' this post. So, enjoy some delicious jian bing next time you're in Flushing, Queens! This is where to find jian bing in New York City. 煎饼
