Eating Queens

Update of Eating Queens (978-1-910023-44-0). When Disney unveiled "It's a Small World," for the UNICEF pavilion at the 1964 World's Fair in Flushing, Queens, it was perhaps their most annoying creation to date, but also the most prophetic. Fifty years later, the borough of Queens is one of the most ethnically diverse corners of the world, with nearly fifty percent of its residents foreign born. It is a land of opportunity - not only for transplants and immigrants seeking a better life, but for all of us seeking a better dinner. Beginning at Manhattan's Times Square, the number 7 subway train heads crosstown on 42nd Street to Fifth Avenue and Grand Central Station, then zips under the East River to Queens. From Long Island City to Flushing Main Street you can eat your way around the world at least once. Languages are abundant and the foods are, too. The borough is large and the options are many, so let these selections, each a short walk from the station, be your guide on a culinary trip around the world on the 7 train.
