Jackson Heights is one of the most ethnically diverse and dynamic places in the world. The restaurants and stores reflect the diversity of its citizens: Peruvian, Argentinean, Indian, Vietnamese, Thai, Pakistani, Afghani, Columbian, Bangladeshi, and many more. The neighborhood also boasts a large historic district, with an architectural tradition of garden apartments with regal entrances.
