There is a lot of harmony with the Latin and South Asian communities in Jackson Heights. It's truly a wonderful place to live.
I love Jackson Heights, so much food and cultures. I was born in the hospital near there, and have been coming to Jackson Heights since the 90s.
That would be Elmhurst Hospital because my Sister was Born there in 1973. :-)
@@josephhinkofer9516 yup
lol jfk is 30 mins away or 2 days depending on traffic... true story
train is 1hr and 25 min
BETO197. Bro luggage is heavy
I watched this video back when this came out, I was still in the Philippines back then, I never would have thought I'd be living in Elmhurst and be working in Jackson Heights.
Malapit din sa jollibee 😆
😂😂😂😂😂😅😱👍
How about the hostility against asians? Is it prevalent in the area?

I miss Jackson Heights everyday...85 th street was my home base...but the whole world was my neighborhood....the 7 train was a half a block east of me, straight to Times Square....it's a dream life for us regular people...at the time I was paying 1600 a month for a small 1 bedroom...who knows what it costs now...if it gets gentrified...NY will lose the most vibrant, important neighborhood in this entire country...Protect Jackson Heights...it is the last unicorn in the city.
People are people. We're all human beings and living in a neighborhood like this makes you understand how similar we are despite cultural differences.
except for THOSE who typically deface other's property. now.
who do u think is that?
As a JH resident I can truly agree with this video. I love my “hood.” We have people from all over Latin America, and the world. I love the food, the trees and the people here. Plus we have lots of trains in one station (which they should consider making it an express stop on the 7 train.) Happy 2019 guys, God bless & visit JH!
i honestly have so much jh pride, it truly is a one of a kind experience growing up there... the food is immaculate and the cultures and people, everyone is so vibrant. it is getting a lot more expensive tho, but in turn, it also looks a lot nicer without looking gentrified like some parts of astoria might. i love jh so much, can't wait to go back because i miss it
I lived on 82nd and Roosevelt right next to the 7 train. On any given block you could find so much diversity. 1st generation food which would cost double in Manhattan. Fell in love with Tai food there.
Used to live there, miss it sometimes.
This makes me want to go back to New York City! I went there 8 years ago and I was a different person back then. I spent alot of time in Manhattan and only went out to Queens to see a Mets game. I want to go back and spend a few days exploring this area and more of Queens. Seems like it would be more up my alley.
This is what I love about NY ❤😎
Just there two days ago. I was mesmerized. Non stop eating n things to see.
There has to be a fusion restaurant in Jackson Heights where they combine Indian food with Mexican food....[RIP to the toilets though]
LMAO
I would like to try such restaurant. I actually want a fusion restaurant of Indian and Mexican. The RIP to the toilets was mainly intended to be a joke
Interceptor810 there is one opening in Vernon bolevard Jackson Avenue named Desi bowl which is opening soon

I Love Jackson Heights... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Miss it grew up there in the late 90s,definitely has changed. Is always been a nice place to live
Still love these videos!
This is why i Love New york
ahh I love seeing my neighborhood here, so proud😊💗 and yes I love how diverse it is here, and being able to experience my culture as a south asian!! but yeah the rent is going up, so it’s harder to buy a nice house here😔
Proud of what, almost no one speaks English there, music blasting all day and night. It’s like living in a dirty third world country.
you canvisit another country just by crossing the street, especially on Roosevelt avenue, I would stoll & explore for hours just because of that dynamic & it's on my list of neighborhoods I'd consider for moving back to my hometown
Wrong
Fantastic video !
I grew up in Jackson Heights when we left Cuba. It was 1966 and it was predominantly Irish-Italian, Cuban, some Puerto Ricans, Polish, Greeks, Italians. The Dominicans trickled in at around 1970. Pakistaníes and Indians arrived around 1979 and started buying up 74 St. Koreans and Chinese arrived in 1980 with suitcases full of cash. Soon, the Colombians took over everything around 1982. The the Cartel Wars started between the Medellin Cartel and the Cali Cartel. That lasted even after the Cartels fell in the early 90’s.
I love where I live in Jackson Heights
Visited NY, Brooklyn, in 2016 when my female cousin had a retirement part after working for New York education system(teacher, then teacher trainer). Went twice before... don't laugh.. in early 70's, like 7, 8 yrs old. Once on plane, got sick, and last time on Amtrak. What really surprised me was all of the eating places that are abound. I mean so many next door and right across from each other... I wondered how do they make any money with so many other eateries around. Then I thought, New York has many many many people. :)
i love NY.
Hahaha, they showed my building in this video. Love JH but its changing and getting so expensive.
Wow, only 1500 dollars for a studio?!!!! Great! (I live in San Francisco Bay Area)
Man I miss New York.
My aunt and some cousins live in Jackson Heights. I have been there a few times and I liked it.
I love this video I need to go back home
the apartment prices here are super super high
The vibe
NICE VIDEO THANKS FRIENDS
My mouth watered when I saw all that food. I have a good friend who lives near Jackson Heights, and I LOVE going to his local taco truck and eating tacos. And the delicious Thai in his area. And the delicious Indian/Bangladeshi. And Colombian. And Tibetan. And on and on and on and on...
I love Jackson's eights
I really wish I could afford an apartment there in Jackson Heights now! Thank u
A fun place to visit.
I go to JH every now and then. At night the store lights illuminate the block, and it's like a nice night festival. Go to the South Asian area and you'll find little Indian or Bangali, shops with random knock knacks, Indian supermarkets with unique spices, ethnic clothing stores, DVD and music shops in store basements, and delicous ethnic foods.
I miss new York I'm from the Bronx ....I grew up there...I miss the hood 😍😭 my family is still there I haven't visit in a long time...
Interesting!!!
Should have shown shops and restaurants of the area as well.
I plan on moving to Jackson heights one day. Cheers from California :).
Yup I live here
wish to visit there once. i will
My first job was at Linhart Pharmacy on the corner of 90 street and Roosevelt Avenue. We competed with the Strand Pharmacy on the opposite corner with the pizzeria in the middle. It was 1977 and I was 14 years old. I made 1.25 per hour.
Where do you live now?
Whenever I can get back up to NY, I've gotta experience JH
It's not Indian food, it's South Asian food. And there's also bangladesh
it's basically indian food which bangladeshi, pakistani have stolen (because it was india before 1947)
whole Jackson height is captured by Bangladeshis , Pakistanis and South-East Asians there are no more indians as there was since Decades !
@Kleco102 yes yes
@@nshivamkumar446 Not really. The cuisine is pretty distinct.
Nice
Good thing People
Don Rickles' home neighborhood. RIP

My hood i love it 🥰
I love JH ♥️
I disagree with the guy who said Jackson Heights is the heart of NYC. It's a vibrant , interesting area but NOT THE HEART OF NYC
+ciel222 Brooklyn BABY! Lol
Jerry Incandenza Not true
ciel222 What then? Queensbridge??? Haha.
It's subjective. but I'd have to say Manhattan Was the heart. Now it has Heart Disease
Luey Vivant LOL , The heart of NYC is still in Manhattan, I would say Midtown or Downtown is the heart, the fact that there are a lot of Iconic buildings there, a lot of shops and high end shops, a lot of luxury building apartments , Wall street is in downtown and a lot of large amount of money is there etc etc. So the heart of NYC is whether Midtown or Downtown Manhattan.
I miss Deera restaurant 🤪and the Aloo paratha 🤩
I used to hang out there in the 90's great place to hang out when your lonely or a loner rather
Back in the late 80s the apartment buildings that rented the apartments converted over to condos I worked remodeling kitchens and bathrooms and these buildings were beautiful back then then I worked Roosevelt Avenue 77th remodeling a storefront the heart of New York no but a lot of choices of some good food let's not forget the Red Doors on Roosevelt Avenue
how cool 😎
I live in Jackson Heights
At the time I was living in Seattle. My ZIP code 98118, had the notierity of having the most languages spoken. But, now the neighborhood is gentrified that it has probably lost that title. If I had to live in NYC, this would definitely be my choice of neighborhood.

Whoa, what's that Reggae/Dub tune right at the start? 0:03
I used to live a couple blocks away from dear
I mean Dera the Pakistani restaurant
I lived there. J. H . the other side of 82nd street
Jackson Heights is just North of Elmhurst.
Queens is supposed to be of for everyone it is United of a different skin colors and different language and different neighbors and whatever whoever you are you need to respect everyone in your neighborhood your neighbors positive way United
I'm looking for Randy Watson.
you should do east Elmhurst
bro youtuber oh yeah I live there
Dang some quality suggestions :)
East elmhurst has a deep black history. Malcolm x used to live near laguardia airport on 99th st or 1 of those blocks over there.
You missed an important point. Bangladesh community of South Asia has distint presence in Jackson Heights. They have vibrant and distnct cultures that are more close to Pakistan rather than India. Correct your preconceived notion about South Asia.
Md. Khurshid Alam Bangladeshi they’re unknown
One of the most liveliest towns in US.
There's a Pakistani drama series named Jackson Heights, just finished watching it.
it was brilliantly made sounds like a lovely place
lubna noor no its not this is not they make it seem nice bc thats the nice place of queens
don't worry I know that it will be like all the rest of the places, with some good & some bad, it's the same world over I just like the food places well actually the food :)
Gente India sucks apestosas a pasta Mirada esapestoso
Hometown of the legendary Randy Watson... (who gets the reference?)
Hard to find an apartment. People lived in the apartment to they die.
I hate living in nyc tbh but my family and friends are all here so..
Rachel Cai y do u hate it? I wish we can trade places then? I live in a boring Maryland suburb.
boring nashville here. I'd love to trade too
Agreed. Plus everywhere you go is getting gentrified and my halal man upped his prices so fuckouttahere.
LET IT GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Where's randy jackson?
Where ever I look i see Bangla written in stores .
The city
liked it

There's only two major ethnic groups here, Asian and Hispanic. How is that diverse? Since moving here about a month ago, I have seen few Caucasian, and even fewer black residents. "Melting Pot"? Hardly.
Regardless, it's a great neighborhood, and the best I've ever lived in here in New York. My only complaint is not being welcomed into businesses where I spend my money. Maybe it's a cultural thing, but I'm used to a smile and friendly greeting when I enter a shop.
+Patrick Chappelle Mostly South Asian and Hispanic. I agree, it's not diverse at all.
Yea but they need to specify more in Jackson heights it's mainly Dominican and Mexican and Bangladeshi, no Indians however you know the indian stores,they were Bangladeshi not Indian Indian stores are plentiful in Jackson heights but Indians themselves are not
+Patrick Chappelle Diverse in language and food I suppose. It also has a gay pop too.
Nikki Jones Well, we're still new here, and with work and other responsibilities, we haven't had too much time to explore. But I am definitely looking forward to exploring the neighborhood. :)
more ecuadorians ,colombians than dominicans.
0:43-1:09 he did not mention the Bangladeshi community.
He’ll be there all day if he mentions all the nationalities
Lol my friend Peter Parker lives in Queens he said it's pretty fun to live there.
He lives in Forest Hills I think...
There’s big Bangladeshi community
Where's spiderman?
DankP0tat0 0ffical - He’s in Forest Hills.
I think in Jackson Heights it's more Latino on Roosevelt and more South Asian in Northern Blvd at least that's what I can tell by my observations.
more asians in flushing
Yea, the Latino's are mainly on Roosevelt Ave and 82nd street while the South Asians are generally around 74th street.
Failed to mention big Bangladeshi community!
and we all know that ESPECIALLY in JH!!!!!!!!!
100 thousand people in 25 by 4 blocks , i doubt it
Believe it, they cram dozens of people into a small apartment. This place is like a third world country.
My family has 10 people in a tiny apartment there.
Have i missed a bunch of episodes? Or did they stop for a while?
Great Bangladeshi food!!!

If anyone live in Queens right now that if you're from New York congratulations because you are a new Neighbor come here to Queens because Manhattan it is so much violence so much expensive apartment luxury including fashion but however the rent it is off the roof and good luck for that whoever you are if you come to a suburban and come to the city
Best food . Authentic the real deal best food👍👍👍👍 from every country and you spend less money than manhattan
whos creepier? mimi borda or manjit singh?
Bangladeshi most huh
COLOMBIANS in the building
Este video no es muy interesante, para ser honesto. ¿Por qué no hacer uno sobre Brooklyn en su lugar?
theres like 4 videos about Brooklyn bro
