Jackson Heights

Regarded as the most diverse neighborhood in the entire country, Jackson Heights combines a worldly population with a strong neighborhood vibe. Reflecting its diversity is 37th Avenue which is truly a Main Street to the world. Within a few short blocks, you can snack on fresh hot Colombian buñuelos with your Thai coffee, treat yourself to an Indian mehndi design and pick up local produce from upstate New York at the farmer’s market. When it comes time to celebrate one of the many cultural events that take place in Jackson Heights, like the Diwali festival or the Queens Pride Parade, you can bet the whole community comes out to represent and support each other. The neighborhood is the site of America’s first planned garden community built in the 1910s and 20s, designed to be green, airy and opulent, often surrounding private gardens. These pre-war apartments have since been landmarked and now form the Jackson Heights Historic District.

This Peruvian sandwich shop is your new favorite lunch spot. The well-decorated interior and quaint outdoor garden has a welcoming vibe, not unlike their other establishment, Pio Pio across the street. The menu is direct and to the point — seven made-to-order sandwich options, each one more tasty sounding than the next. You will not regret ordering the Lomo Saltado (stir fried beef and onions) or the Chicharron (crispy pork). Delish.
