reflections of jackson heights. on Flickr.As a Queens native (although born in Brooklyn, I’ve pretty much lived in the borough for about 25+ years), I’ve lived in a bunch of different neighborhoods throughout the years. The one neighborhood that I feel most at home in, is Jackson Heights. I first moved to the neighborhood in 2004 and was attracted to the vibrancy and the diversity of the area. 74th Street is a kaleidoscope of saris, gold jewelry, and Indian trinkets. Here’s a shot I took the other day that is pretty iconic of the area - a reflection of the infamous Indian restaurant, the Jackson Diner in a window display of saris.
