Coming from Houston, I was amazed at that place. Simply incredible are the only two words that I can use to describe it.

74th and 75th street are a hot pot of desis of all backgrounds and nationalities living, working and playing togather. It was almost as if I was in a desi utopia, all desis coexisting peacefully with each other with lots of happiness and joy to go around. Very moving and powerful at the same time. One has to stand there and absorb the synergy that is around them. It is like a feeling no other I had ever felt before.

I took the #7 train from NY Penn Station, all the way to the station called Jackson Heights. The train ride was very smooth, with several gentlemen and ladies aboard. We (me and wife) got out at 84th - Jackson Height, and then walked to 74th street. The streets were lined with amazing shops selling goods from around the world (mainly China), and scrumptious restaurants serving delicacies from lands far away.

Very very nice. The whole place reminded me of old bazars in places like Saudi Arabia.

One strange thing though, I saw a young Muslim girl begging there. I am not trying to joke, or acting sarcastic, but it was definetly a little odd. We see beggers all the time, but you can tell they are beggers by the way they dress, and their unwashed look. This girl didn’t look anything like that.

Anyways, will definetly visit Jackson Heights again.

I know that girl, and the day before I saw herin jackson heights, i saw her at the 96th st masjid..
