Ethnic Eats in Elmhurst
Dave Cook, whose blog Eating in Translation, is subtitled “Fascinating Food in New York and Occasionally Farther Afield”, has written a great column in About.com’s Queens newsletter. In it, he reviews Thai, Argentinean, and Indonesian restaurants. Elmhurst is the home of the recently renovated Queens Center Mall. But walk a few blocks west down Queens Blvd and turn right on Broadway, and you enter arguably the most ethnically diverse neighborhood in NYC’s most diverse borough. Along Broadway, you see traditional Chinese [ducks in the window], Thai, Indonesian, Argentinean, Indian and Pakistani eateries. Continue walking into Jackson Heights, and you come into streets lined with bakeries and restaurants from every country in Latin America, along with another Indian sub-continent stronghold on 74th St. [with my alltime favorite Indian spot, the Jackson Diner]
Anyway check out Dave Cook’s column here.
