Flushing Central Hotel(Formerly Howard Johnson Flushing)位于纽约市最大的唐人街皇后区的法拉盛，出门就是唐人街中央大街、地铁口及各路巴士起点，交通非常方便。身处唐人街中心地带，吃东西当然不成问题，除了有数不清的中餐馆、美食广场（纽约美食城、新世界美食城）、华人超市外，也有各种品牌美国快餐店，如麦当劳、汉堡王等。
5th Avenue is a predominantly Latino neighborhood with only a few Chinese shops. It’s a paradise for cheap clothes and latino food. It looks totally different from adjacent Brooklyn Chinatown.
I took ANA NH10 to New York JFK airport and arrived at Terminal 7 at around 10:30am. There were hundreds of people lining up at the passport control area. However, US citizens, US permanent residents and foreign visitors from certain countries(such as Canada) can go straight ahead to join another much shorter and much faster line. There is no Automated Passport Control Kiosk at JFK T5.
Passengers going to New York City can take AirTrain to Jamaica(or Howard Beach) station where you can buy a MetroCard from kiosks to pay for public transit fares including AirTrain, subways and buses. The AirTain ride from JFK airport to Jamaica costs $5. If you are on budget and have time to kill, you don’t have to pay the $5. Instead, you can take AirTrain back to JFK to take a bus to the city after you’ve purchased a MetroCard and have loaded enough funds to it. A bus ride to NYC will only cost you $2.75 with a MetroCard and you enjoy free transfers to other buses and subways. An empty MetroCard costs $1. You get a bonus of 11% when you buy or add $5.50 or more to your MetroCard.
纽约肯尼迪机场T7（国泰/全日空/加航）没有自助通关系统。入境处大排长龙近千人。还好我没有傻傻跟着日本人民排队，我看到左边有条通道空无一人，就上前看一下最前方的牌子，原来这条通道是加拿大公民、美国公民和美国永久居民专用的。由于这些人不需要像其他外国人那样拍照、打指纹、付费，所以处理速度非常快。边检关问了我为什么来，停留多久，就立刻盖章放人了，上面写了B2字样。之后就是把海关表交给海关。由于空服给我的是日本表格，所以我给美国黑人官员的也是日文表格，随便问了一句为什么来，看看通关章就给过了。 继续阅读New York JFK Airport纽约肯尼迪机场入境/交通攻略
