Local tip

The walk from the restaurant to the park is about 14 minutes. Allow extra time if you want to explore the Victorian-style wedding garden at Queens Botanical Garden on the way, but keep your pace steady to catch the light at Flushing Meadows.

Check before you go

  • Henan Feng Wei is open until 21:00 daily, so you have plenty of time for dinner after sunset.
  • Check the subway or LIRR route to Mets–Willets Point in advance, as games on Monday through Saturday are usually in the evening and crowds may be higher on those days.
