Elmhurst, Queens, is one of New York City’s most diverse and dynamic neighborhoods, shaped by generations of immigrant communities from around the globe. Today, it’s home to thriving Chinese, Thai, Tibetan, Nepali, Burmese, Indonesian, Bangladeshi, and Latino communities, which are well reflected in its streets, small businesses, and incredible food scene. Elmhurst also offers a rich mix of cultural, historic, and religious sites, including the landmark St. James Church (the oldest surviving Anglican building in NYC, built in 1735-36), the Jain Center of America, nearby Hindu temples, Islamic centers and mosques, Buddhist Sherpa temple, and the Thai Buddhist temple. Visitors can explore global cuisines, local markets, and meaningful places of worship and heritage, all within a few walkable blocks easily reached via public transport—a true rarity in NYC.

If you take the subway to 74th St./Roosevelt Ave. (7/E/F/R/M) and walk along Broadway, aka “International Mile,” to Queens Boulevard, you’ll find countless cuisines represented by great restaurants worth every step of an all-season food adventure. From thukpa and momos at Himalayan Yak and Hainanese steamed chicken and rice at Eim Khao Mun Kai, to khao soi ramen at Seichou and curry young goat at Awang Kitchen, the sheer variety of food to try is mind-boggling. You’ll also pass by a slew of terrific grocery stores–Top Line Market (Malaysian, Chinese, Thai, Indonesian), Pata Market (Thai), US Supermarket (pan-Asian), and more–as well as

Moore Homestead Playground, where you can watch Chinese fan dancing in the morning, or Tibetan circle dancing on Wednesday evenings.
