From South Asia to South America

I live in probably the most diverse and densely populated towns in NYC. A stroll along 74th Street between Rosevelt Ave and the length of Jackson Heights towards Norther Blvd is quite the global experience. Without fail you can hear languages from a handful of countries within minutes of your walk.

Beyond the languages is the smell of various cuisines and vibrant colors of sari shops and taco carts. It’s a bustling town but also surrounded by quite residential enclaves. Jackson Heights should be on every tourist’s itenary. Explore available days and reserve a spot on our people’s favorite, Queens edition of NYC Walking Tours.
