Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
In recent years, the Queens neighborhood of Jackson Heights has become home to a flourishing Himalayan community. Tibetans, Nepalese, and Bhutanese all congregate here, bringing with them their varied food traditions. The Museum of Food and Drink, along with the Eater team, set out to sample the dishes from spicy curries and doughy momos to steaming soups and teas this neighborhood has to offer

Dear Indian, Nepali, and Tibetan immigrants. Please bring your food and culture to Philadelphia. I'd give anything for a community like this in my own city, where I could not only eat and try new foods but also learn and meet people from lands and cultures I'm in love with. I think I speak for most of my city when I say you stand invited; Philly is lonely without you.

I wish diversity wasn't such a big deal this is the way it supposed to be I wish everyone would grow up around people of different colors, and nationalities it's teaches you so much you not only believe but KNOW that all people can be Great and bad and that one isn't solely grouped to one face but spread out between many faces

if Infiniti wants a few high definition shots of its sedans driving on Roosevelt Avenue in exchange for sponsoring a beautiful video showcasing the diverse community in our neighborhood then I for one will accept it

how is the lady who has been in this country for fifteen years not speaking english? you shouldn't need to use subtitles for someone whose been here that long. immigration is not the problem. assimilation is.

i really appreciate that these videos are narrated by people who are part of these communities who give context to the food and diaspora and not some white person framing it as some exotic next big thing.

it's sad that all these other cultures always get highlighted in Queens, but one of the largest groups there, the Bangladeshis get ignored or unrepresented. truly sad, literally wasn't even mentioned

Jackson Heights is like the epicenter of immigrants in NYC. Indians, Pakistanis, Mexicans, Guatemalans, Ecuadorians, Chinese etc, etc. But I never knew Tibetans to live in the area. Pretty cool.
