Thread Name: where to go in New York and Chicago
Subject: RE: where to go in New York and Chicago
New York's great gastronomical experience is the #7 Flushing Line elevated train, which winds its way through the immigrant neighborhoods of Queens. You get on the train at either the Times Square or Grand Central subway stations. Ride it to the end, Main Street in Flushing, and you will find yourself in the heart of New York's largest Chinese community. Another favorite stop is 74th Street in Jackson Heights, right in the middle of the Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi neighborhood. Try the Jackson Diner, just about 100 feet north of the train station on 74th Street for what is considered the best all-you-can eat Indian buffet in town. Get off at the 82nd Street stop, also in Jackson Heights, and you will find yourself with a large number of Cuban, Colombian, Argentine, and other Latin-American restaurants to choose from.
