Queens

Queens, New York City is the most diverse place on Earth. Over 200 languages are spoken here.

Jackson Heights is a diverse neighborhood where many of us begin our New York lives. You can travel the world walking down Roosevelt Avenue, and the streets around it.

Flushing is a mostly Chinese neighborhood. On some streets, you wonder what country you are in because most of the signs are in Chinese. The food is great.

We cover most events by place or neighborhood, but a few are Queens-wide.
