A lively nabe in Queens, Jackson Heights is known for jubilant parades and festivals it throws. Part packed commercial corridor, part residential stretches of apartments, Jackson Heights also boast nearby Travers Park--a great spot for outdoor recreation options and weekly green markets. Jackson Heights offers easy access into Manhattan on the express E train as well as the F and 7 and even boasts its own historic district.
Living next door in both Woodside, and later Corona, I spent a lot of time here. What do I like best? The ethnic food is cheap and awesome! Thai, Malaysian, Mexican, Colombian, Ecuadorian- and more. Known to some as Little Colombia/Little India, much of Latin America and Asia, as well as other ethnicities are represented here.
What's awesome
The cheap ethnic food, diversity, architecture
What's not so awesome
The cleanliness and some of the dubious “businesses”.
