damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Flor de Mayo yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
NYC Tourism notes Flor de Mayo was founded in 1977 by Chinese immigrants who had migrated from Peru, and remains "one of the few remaining Chino-Latino restaurants in NYC" — a long community history that keeps it in steady demand. A follow-up search adds that the restaurant tends to get crowded, with an early visit suggested for dinner to avoid a long wait.
The follow-up search indicates the venue accepts reservations but advises calling ahead to confirm availability during peak hours, noting some inconsistency in how phone reservations are handled. It also suggests weekends run busier than weekday lunch service, when one comparable visit found no crowd at all.
