Take the 7 train to Jackson Heights, Queens, and you can visit the world … and these guys. There are reportedly160 languages spoken in the neighborhood, making it probably the most linguistically diverse in metropolitan NY, which is reputedly the most linguistically diverse urban center in the world, and perhaps in the history of the world.
And the food, ah the food: Dominican, Sri Lankan, Tibetan, Mexican, Indian, Bangladeshi, Cuban, Jamaican, Thai, Colombian, Ecuadorian, Argentinian, Afghani, Pakistani, Nepali, Costa Rican, and more in restaurants and on fabulous food trucks.
Oh, yeah! Spent the night in Jackson heights with Nepali musicians a long time ago and I was totally charmed by the diversity of everything - language, food, dress, ambiance. What a magical community.
What was that lunch, Terry? And what ethnicity?
