A narrated walk through the neighborhood of Jackson Heights, Queens.
From Wikipedia:
"Jackson Heights is a neighborhood in the northwestern portion of the borough of Queens in New York City. Jackson Heights is neighbored by North Corona to the east, Elmhurst to the south, Woodside to the west, northern Astoria (Ditmars-Steinway) to the northwest, and East Elmhurst to the northeast. According to the 2010 United States Census, the neighborhood has a population of 108,152.
Jackson Heights is located in Queens Community District 3 and its ZIP Code is 11372. It is patrolled by the New York City Police Department's 110th Precinct. Politically, Jackson Heights is represented by the New York City Council's 21st and 25th Districts.
Jackson Heights is among the most diverse neighborhoods in New York City and the nation. Half of the population was foreign born by the 2000s. Jackson Heights is home to large numbers of South Americans (particularly Colombian, Ecuadorian and Argentinian), Indians, Pakistanis, Tibetans, Nepalese, and Bangladeshis. Most businesses are Asian- and Latino-owned, and there are restaurants, bakeries, specialty shops, legal offices, bars, and beauty salons. There is a Little India on 74th Street and a Little Pakistan and Little Bangladesh on 73rd Street. There is also a large concentration of South Americans east of 77th Street, especially a Little Colombia along 37th Avenue.
Jackson Heights was heavily Colombian during the 1980s, but other immigrant groups have settled in the area, notably Mexicans. Many of the displaced Colombians have moved to adjacent areas such as Elmhurst, East Elmhurst, Corona, College Point and Flushing. Queens County still has the largest concentration of Colombians in the United States of any county (roughly 75,000)."

Thanks!
Welcome!
You seem to be in your element here, your appreciation for the area is obvious....cool walk... thanks
Nl
Actionkid, your videos have saved me thousands of dollars of actually visiting the Big Apple. I can see and experience the various sites in New York City from the comfort of my home! Thank you for providing this very important service both educational and financially thrifty to my pocketbook! 👍🏾
Good morning bro, let me just say as someone dealing with agoraphobia, videos like these help me feel connected to the world, thanks
Thanks Michael
I feel so appreciated! Thank you!
We are connected with you mate.
I'm not giving up though, I'm trying to get better and I know I'll beat this shit, I've got dreams of traveling the world, NYC here I come
@@robertdavis4192 As backwards as it may sound a busy place like NYC may be the perfect place! There is so much going on that you're always hiding in plain sight. No one is paying attention to anyone else. Even in this video! ActionKid is walking around recording and talking to himself and nobody cares lol. You got this!
Thank you, Action Kid, for making these videos. I walk on my treadmill while watching them and learn about the city at the same time!
What fun to visit the neighborhood I grew up in from 1950-1962. My family lived in the Historic Co-op Building on 77th Street for 12 years. Your walk was well done and much appreciated. Thanks, ActionKid!
I grew up in NYC. 50 years ago, I would not have considered a church built in 1919 to be an old building when I was walking in and out of buildings every day that were built in the 19th century.
Thank you for describing the Co-op. I think the Mitchell-Lama act of 1955 is a blueprint to be applied nationally.
A sort of 'urban kibbutz'.
200 years ago, these named communities we're actually separate villages in Queens County, New York State before the amalgamation of New York, Bronx, Richmond, Queens and Kings counties into the five boroughs of New York City.
I had the same thought about the age of that church! Built 37 years before I was born, not so old! ;-)))
Thank you so much for making these videos, It makes me feel like I am there in New YORK
Totally enjoyed your narration! NYC neighborhoods are so unique and amazing, like a microcosm of the entire world! There really is no other place like it 😍
Thanks 😃
I really love your videos. I live in Nottingham UK, and have wanted to visit New York all my adult life, and I am still saving up! You have provide a service to many people who do not have the opportunity to travel but still dream. Thank you so much, your time and effort is appreciated much more than words can say xxx
Thank you very much! Hope you can visit soon!
Deborah, I hope you can visit NY when the pandemic is over! It's a great place to visit - and to live, but then I'm biased, I grew up in NY. I'd like to visit more of the UK, have spent some time in London but I don't know the rest of the country too well. So many places, so little time! Oh, yeah, and money! ;-)))
Love your videos...very informative and entertaining...you saved me a trip to NYC...actually you make me want to go even more...Never been...You would make a great guide. Stay safe.
You will love your visit. The best time to visit is November. the weather is perfect for walking and the Christmas Displays out do each other.
You may consider staying in Westchester or New Jersey using transit into the city. Hotel prices will be much less.
Take the ferry to Long Island City to begin your Queens adventure.
Enjoy being where "We The People" is truly a way of life.
There's a guy out of London who walks and highlights historical areas and different neighborhoods... Joolz Guides... he also does personal tours. You would be great at that!!
Thank you for sharing. so pleasant hearing the birds chirping and seeing how serene and beautiful the neighborhoods are.
For those on mobile

Nice Walk
Thank you, lived in the area for a couple of years, I think I liked to spend a lot of time on 37th Ave because it was chill, I´d go to Roosevelt for food. A great walk down memory lane, I happen to be abroad now. Memories flooding back, greatly appreciate it!
Love narrated videos, good job!
Always wondered where Lhasa Fast Food was, thanks for showing this hidden gem :)
Now you know!
This area is AMAZING!!! Thanks for an informative tour of NYC, JACKSON HEIGHTS, QUEENS!!!
Thanks for being my guide to good food...👍
23:23 That's K & L Deli (formerly K & A Dairy Farms back in the 1980s) - one of my favorite spots right up my block! I get breakfast there every morning! The 2nd generation have done an excellent job with that store!
Very cool!
Thank you for an informed and immersive video. I would lose my temper with fellow pedestrians not looking where they're going! Watching from the UK
Wish I could have more stomach( as you say) to enjoy the food of all the dinning places shown on your great video!
Unforgettable memories walking around Queens ❤💝.🙌👍 ... have a nice weekend actionkid !!!!
You are South American,I suppose, is Gangas your real name,to most hisp a mid a ganga means Special and to some you're a pandillero
Thank you for another great video, ActionKid! I enjoy your narration.
Good job ActionKid. Took me down memory lane through my old stomping grounds.
So fantastic, id love to walk through all these neighborhoods. Thanks for sharing, love your video's.
This video of Jackson Heights is one of the most informative and interesting ones you've done, ActionKid. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Thank you!
You are so knowledgeable and you make a great virtual tour guide. I really appreciate your videos.
Thank you
Wow!!!! What an AWESOME video!!! I feel as if I'm walking step for step with you! I like your narration as you go! I am from Southern California, and I was in NYC for the first time this past February, and I did a LOT of walking in the boroughs and Manhattan, daytime and night time, for a week! Your video made me feel like I did, when I was there! What I loved, was the buildings, especially the old ones. I had a stiff neck from looking up so much lol! Thank you for your excellent video!
You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and walking through the boroughs when you were here.
This video shows you have a genuine interest in the neighborhood and its residents. You even show us certain stores and explain what they're all about. Very nice, Thanks!
You’re welcome! Each neighborhood is special in its own way.
Thanks another great entertaining walk
Hey thanks man for uploading it on request... Lots of love... :)
Thank you for the video! I enjoyed it.
I lived in Jackson Heights in 1994. Still I have those memories.... I missed NY/Queens so much.
I grew up in the historic district, haven't been there in many years. It was fun to see how it's developed. And it made me hungry!
I adored, Thank you for sharing bro! Greetings from Brussels!
Love this😇😇thank you!!!!
Thx for this video
ActionKid, for your continued dedication and fearlessness of filming in the NYC heat in a long sleeved shirt, I salute you sir 👏🏾 & appreciate it too 👍🏽
Thank you very much 😎
Great tour useful info, thanks for sharing.
Old memories my friend I'm 49 years old, I used to live on Roosevelt and Benham Street when I was 5 or 6 years old I remember my mother walking me me to P.S 89 then to P.S 19 on Roosevelt and 98 street Junior High was Louis Armstrong then Flushing High School, in 85 we move to Tampa Fl, can you imagine going from the capital of the world to freaking Tampa
Thank for the memories
You’re welcome. Thanks for sharing your experience here!
I enjoyed this - I always envisioned the area super crowded - but it is less busy than Toronto Canada. I never get the opportunity to travel so it's great when people like yourself vlog this kind of thing. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
i'd really love to visit this place. it must be amazing trying out all the different foods in just one block. and those exotic fruits too.
50:01 literally anybody could've snatched her iphone off of her backpocket 😅
Man do you do tai chi?
@@TV-og5en Yes!
Lol yea always gotta be on guard especially on jackson heights
Thanks for your video
THANK YOU DEAR, i enjoyed watching everything, super, I live in queensland Australia, lovely here too.
So awesome the way the internet lets us all travel the world and know places and people we would never know otherwise! Pippin, please make us a video from Queensland, so we can get to know your part of the world!
Nice video..I lived in Jackson Heights 30 years I miss it very much..planning on moving back in 2020 thank you video very well done 👍
Interesting and unique neighbourhood. NYC has people from all over the world creating neighbourhoods that makes it different and unique. You are so lucky to live in a diverse community. You can try all the different food cuisine from all over the world. NYC is incredible! Thanks for taking us here!
Beautiful 🤗🙂
Cool walk walker thanks
It's amazing how all the pedestrians in this video and others allow you to film them without becoming irrate! Especially in places like East New York.
Thanks for this very interesting action video.
AK - Nice tour of Jackson Heights. Thanks.
I was there with you ... *big smile* :-) Thanks & cheers!
great video
Thanks for sharing
nice video!!!
You were so close to my childhood apartment building 82st and 34ave, would have loved to have seen it, oh well
So close but so far!
U can use Google earth and try. I saw my bldg on Grand concourse. Cried my eyes some.
aud schaeffer already have long time ago, bookmarked it and tears well up anytime I look at it 🥺
What a wonderful walk.Full of colorful clothes,mom and pop shops and restaurants,all of which makes this place hum.This is what small towns looked like when I was growing up in the late 50's and into the '60's.The biggest stores of my childhood were J.C.Penny's,Woolworth's and Sears.Towns like these are the backbone of America...as are the people.Thank you,ActionKid!
You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed the area!
Actionkid I'm watching this an my mouth is watering,looking at the pictures!💛
Nice to see different ethnic places in NYC
i love the video
ActionKid I enjoy it when you read the Spanish written signs! Gracias!
You’re welcome 😃
stayed in jackson heights last week. wish i saw this before we visited!
I got to make a visit to Jackson Heights Queens someday
You have such a beautiful and non prejudicial way of describing your tours! I bet your Mom is so proud of you...
Though probably terrified watching your cycling videos lol. Thank you for this beautiful escape! Take care 🤗 oops...forgot, any chance you could include the Day of the week in your opening? That way we'd get s feel for how busy different days are. Thanks again for sharing these amazing stories with us.
Thank you very much!
It is interesting to see how so many people keep staring at you or the camera unlike your other videos where hardly anyone notices it. Anyway great stuff as always!! And keep em coming
@Joey The blind Panther I have to find that one!
Belo video!
Love this ty AC 💗 from someone on the opposite side of the 🌏
I've seen that Duane Read store so many times in your videos and wondered what is sold, now I know, thanks.
Thank you ActionKid 👍👍👍
good job, buddy!
great job B-)
Another one of the neighborhoods I remember from my youthful years. I don’t remember that subway station being that huge. That subway station complex was never as shown here, in fact I can’t help wonder if anybody ever gets lost in there like, forever? Good Lord! Anyway, somewhere in that neighborhood there used to be a place called Henry Schein Medical supplies. It’s no longer there I’m sure. There was also a grocery store called Cracker Barrel Supermarket, that’s right; Cracker Barrel was originally a supermarket, not the giant restaurant that it is now, at least it is in my neck of the woods. Thanks again for a wonderful video, which is for me a conduit to the past and the realization that there were happy times back then and there also. Good day.
4:07-This neighbourhood reminds me of apartments on Jameson Avenue here in Toronto (Jameson Avenue is in Parkdale, which is is downtown Toronto, and Parkdale around Queen & Parkdale is called 'Little Tibet'.)
I love your videos! I want to go on a walk with you!
Week end 20/21 July 2019 Hope you are able to stay cool in NYC this w.end it is going to be a hot one!
Jackson heights is great for south Asian food. I bought a man skirt (lunghi) there! I wear it to meditation sittings some times.
Enjoyed the video and narrative. It is very interesting. Be careful in the heat. I saw where your part of the country may be under a heat advisory. We are used t it here but we are careful too.
Thank you 😊
Man this is cool.
9:00 Urban Dictionary says "A Hispanic/Spanish/Latin mini-mart, kind of like a 7-11, but usually smaller and more like a liquor store atmosphere. Commonly used term on the east coast, especially in the New York City region, where you will find many of these. The word came from the actual Spanish word for "grocery store" - la bodega."
Oh wow, now I know it literally means grocery store in Spanish!
Perfect✌😎🗽
I just remembered some Jackson Heights trivia. I'm trying to see if the 35th Avenue sign at 33:14 in this video, by the old church, is shown with little numbers like on Scrabble tiles. The game Scrabble was invented in JH and first played at a church - I think that one - and for a time they had a special street sign to commemorate it.
I've never seen so many window air conditioners in my life lol
This is one of the most informative videos I have seen so far, it covered a large area of New York. Thank you Actionkid.
As a Colombia that have lived in London and currently living in New York, I can say that New York is the greatest city in the world. Not doubt.
It’s debatable
@Ezequuel Jimenez Soto Been to Tokyo and Paris, not Rome yet. I think London is better than Paris, and although I LOVE TOKYO, it is too homogeneous for me. I like NYC the most because it’s a combination of London and Tokyo
34:54 - It will, but going in the opposite direction (up 83 Street). The direction you saw it going in was towards Roosevelt & 74.
I hope to one day visit NY.
Like the news and Hot Dog stands!
It’s funny I’m from Cali and i never get a tour like this. I really need to get out more.
Enjoyed your tour! I couldn't help but notice all the different flags, but not a single American flag.
Those push buttons for buses are great
Bodega is a cultural icon specific to NYC. The nomenclature is used in place of 'convenience store'. Since, I've not lived in N.Y. in years my first 'encounter' with it was on Law and Order. This is one reason that I'm eager to visit the city again.
Congurulation
Today's video was very interesting other then don't take it ❤️ other video is also veryyyy owsem but this video is special for me becoz in this video i watch little Pakistan .little bangladesh.and India as i belong to Pakistan when i observing little Pakistan in new york city i am Soo happy
Thank so much
115th Precinct covers Jackson Heights from Roosevelt Avenue to LaGuardia Airport
Very Nice>>>>.
I am so glad I got out 20 years ago
Cool video , Bodega is a spanish word for wearhouse and that meat is called Al Pastor. They put the meat on the stick and it rotates around the heat cooking it and when you ask for tacos they slice it right onto the tortilla. I'm from Costa Rica but born and raise in East Los Angeles. Hey did I just find Waldo 😆😆😆
Very cool 😎
I just found your videos and am impressed. Excellent narration and a great tour guide for us out of towners. I’ll be back. Quality video. What camera do you use?
Thank you very much! The video equipment is listed in the video description. I use a GoPro HERO7 Black.
Thank you for the camera information. 👍
Diversity is a beautiful thing
Famous people from Jackson Heights: Les Paul, Gene Simmons, Montgomery Clift, John Leguizamo, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Susan Sarandon, Howard Stern, Don Rickles, John Quesada (Head Editor for Marvel); Scrabble and the Xerox Copy Machine were invented in Jackson Heights :)
You forgot actress lucy leu!
Jackson Heights goes up through Junction Blvd.
