From the New York Times:

FLUSHING NIGHT OUT (Friday)
Delve into New York’s diverse culture by roaming through Flushing’s community market, back for its second installment. Local entrepreneurs will keep the neighborhood buzzing with an array of food, treats, crafts, fashion and live music. 

This week’s event, the final of the four-part series, pays tribute to Queens with its “(718) LOVE” theme. 

It will also bring Asian-American hip-hop to the forefront with performances by Jaeki Cho, co-producer of the film “Bad Rap”; the underground hip-hop artist Bohan Phoenix; and others. 

At 6 p.m., Flushing High School, 35-01 Union Street, Flushing, 646-820-5163, flushingnightout.com; free.
