Cultural depth / Jackson Heights

Guys I met in Jackson Heights who graciously let me snap their pictures.

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.

I had of an all-time great lunch here with Evelyen, Gerard, and Karen.
