YOU

HERE!
WELCOME
TO
QUEENS!
The
largest
of
all
of
the
boroughs
and
the
most
ethnically
diverse
urban
area
in
the
world,
Queens
is
a
unique
community
representing
over
100
countries.
This
week
you
will
be
part
of
this
100%
NYC
experience
as
you
enjoy
these
neighborhoods
that
the
Festival
calls
“home.”
Jackson
Heights,
the
birthplace
of
the
Festival,
hosts
Queens'
most
striking
array
of
cultures.
Its
"Little
India"
brings
you
jewelry,
music,
clothing
and
some
of
the
City’s
most
authentic
South
Asian
cuisine.
In
this
part
of
town,
you
will
also
enjoy
Tibetan
momos,
Korean
barbeque,
Uruguayan
empanadas,
Mexican
horchata,
Argentinian
parrillada
and
Colombian
arepas
of
every
variety.
Opening
night,
you
meet
Greek
Astoria,
and
NY’s
film
production
center,
a
neighborhood
of
old-­‐world
charm
offering
Japanese
cuisine,
Turkish
delights,
Egyptian
falafel,
Moroccan
hookah
bars
and
all-­‐night
cafes
.
Neighboring
Long
Island
City
(LIC)
has
the
best
of
old-­‐school,
industrial
Queens
,
sweeping
waterfront
panoramic
views,
charming
brownstone-­‐lined
streets
and
a
flourishing
arts
and
music
scene
not-­‐to-­‐
be-­‐missed.
