"I learned Partea, an arcade that pairs bubble tea with fried chicken sandwiches, opened in Flushing in September 2020 and has expanded to a Union Square outpost at 220 E. 14th Street, near Third Avenue. Like the Queens location, certain meal combos come with “surprise” plushie toys, and there’s a snack menu that includes Taiwanese sausages, cuttlefish balls, and spicy wings. The Union Square location is currently open, will hold a grand opening party on August 18, and will stay open most nights until 11 p.m.; the team is also planning west coast expansions with Partea locations slated for West Covina and Little Tokyo in Los Angeles." - Emma Orlow
