Jackson Heights is a community where anyone of any background can find anything they want, depending on their mood. It is a place that is rich with history, diversity, and heritage. One can take a walk down Roosevelt Ave and experience the vast influence that each culture offers. One can taste the empanadas sold on the corner as they make their way over to Little Colombia on 82nd St, but cross Broadway Ave and hear Mandarin throughout the Chinese market. Making a left on 74th St, one becomes overwhelmed with the Indian aromas, culture and language. The fusion of these cultures has made the residents in Jackson Heights aware and accepting of diversity. This has become an inherent trait of Jackson Heights, where the traditions of people with many different backgrounds link.
