Little India in Queens

He drove his mother-in-law to Queens last week and drove back to the area called Jackson Heights on his way back, part of it is called "Little India." Moreover, the Indians there are far from the dominant population. In a small space of the city you can meet immigrants from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Tibet, Ecuador, the Philippines, Mexico and a couple of other three Latin American countries. All this, of course, with the appropriate flavor: shops, restaurants, people in national clothes. The air is filled with the smell of incense sticks, spices and Tibetan momo, which are sold in food trucks. The real New York melting pot, in general. I walked there with a camera.

In appearance, Jackson Heights is a typical Queens. The area was built up mainly in the 20s and 30s of the last century.

When many pedestrians in such clothes appear on the street, then you are there.

Here the Indian spirit, here it smells of India.

A shopper with a trolley left the supermarket.

Hindus and Pakistanis occupy literally two blocks at the exit of the metro station. Therefore, there are many ordinary Americans on the street. They live literally around the corner. You will walk a couple of blocks, and there will be Starbucks.

The one on the left prayed nonstop all the time that I walked there. And I walked there for a long time.

All people are actively wrapped up. When I was in India, I was amazed that the Indians put on down jackets and hats already at + 18 ° C. They are cold. Imagine what it feels like at -11 ° C.

American mannequins look very strange in Indian clothes.

Hello! While I was taking this picture, a Lexus pulled up from behind, and a dude with a baseball bat came out of it. I was tensed, but he, seeing my confusion, immediately reported that he was protecting his wife in the morning, and he just decided to shift the bat from the passenger compartment to the trunk. He also added that I’ll get a cool photo.
