Jackson Heights with Kids: A Photo Walking Tour Around the World in Queens
Submitted by Paula on
We've been featuring one great NYC neighborhood each month on Mommy Poppins. So far, we've shared our favorite things to do and places to go with kids in Chinatown, Park Slope and on the Upper West Side. For February, we're focusing on one of the most ethnically diverse areas in the city: Jackson Heights, Queens.
A visit to Jackson Heights feels like a mini trip around the world, without the hassle or expense of international travel. It's also super family-friendly—I know because I'm raising my two kids here. I chronicle our adventures on my blog and we've certainly had many in our home 'hood. So take a stroll with us and discover the global culture of Jackson Heights, from Indian sari dress shops to Nepali momos to Uruguayan empanadas.
