Hundreds of visitors braved the heavy rain on Saturday, May 7, for a family-friendly Mother’s Day celebration at Tangram, a new cultural epicenter in the heart of downtown Flushing.
Tangram’s “MOMents with Mom” event was held at 133-27 39th Ave., where guests were greeted by TANGRAMTRON, a 10-foot-tall dancing robot who challenged them to a dance battle.

Guests won prizes such as a gift bag sponsored by Muze Hair Salon or the grand prize strollers sponsored by Queens Baby. Both tenants will be opening at Tangram in the coming weeks.

There were also giveaways from Hong Kong-style cafe Cuppa Tea, Taiwanese dessert bar Meet Fresh and XLK Hot Pot and more.

According to Cynthia Yeh, public relations, events and marketing Associate of F&T Group, this was one of the first of many opportunities to welcome New York City residents to Tangram’s doorstep as a must-visit destination in Queens.
