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.
