"A neighborhood with a rich history of immigrants cobbling together their savings until they could afford suburban life, the Flushing section of Queens has started a new chapter in ethnic succession. Main Street, which served as New York's hub for Korean immigrants for two decades, recently saw its last Korean-run grocery sold to a Chinese family. Later this summer, the new owners will open in its place a high-end Chinese market catering to Chinese immigrants in Flushing and the nearby Long Island suburbs."
