Oddly, East Elmhurst isn’t exactly east of Elmmhurst. Timeout NY called East ElmhurstNew York’s “second China Town,” with lots of delicious and authentic food options. There’s also a large Latin populations here and it’s pretty much dominated by moderate-income families. Louis Armstrong (there’s a school named after him) and Ella Fitzgerald are among the famous musicians who lived here in the 50s and 60s, and many important African-American civil rights leaders, like Malcolm X, and professional athletes, Williie Mayes and Jackie Robinson, called it home. It’s certainly not as hopping as it once was…
