Recently, we had a volunteer couple come to help with our Christmas outreach. The husband took several photos around the Jackson Heights neighborhood where our ministry center is located. All photo credits go to John Logan (fevereventphoto.com).
Very South Asian. You can find bangles, earrings, jewelry, sunglasses, toys, etc. is this small store front.

For all my Nepali/Tibetan friends :) (You know you miss this food and these people! Come visit soon!)
I often walk by this shop and see a large semi truck parked outside that says "Halal Meat". One day they were carrying something from the truck into the store, but I couldn't tell what it was. As I got closer I peered into the back of the semi. It was filled from top to bottom with goat carcasses! Since that first time, I've seen them carrying in whole, frozen carcasses at least two other times.
Shopping at Patel Brothers, the local Indian grocery. I can find all the Indian spices and "things" that I miss here including curry leaves, cardamon seeds, Taj Mahal tea, tea strainers, spice racks, ketchup chips :), and even coconut oil to put in my hair (just kidding...sort of).
After living in India where it's impolite not to honk, this sign makes me chuckle.

ESL students showing off their candy canes and ornaments that our volunteer team gave them after sharing the story of the candy cane.
Under the 7 train.
This shop's set up takes me back to India in a heart beat. Fuzzy blankets and decorative bed covers are stacked from floor to ceiling inside.
If you know me at all, you know that I'm hitting up these vendors to get my biriyani fix on a regular basis!
