This week’s #TuesdayTidbit blog is highlighting the Himalayan Heights area in New York City. If you’ve ever gotten off near the 74th St./Broadway stop on the 7 train in Jackson Heights, you know exactly what we are talking about. This area has so much to offer, and isn’t your typical tourist spot. Read below to find out more about this awesome area and why you should come check it out for yourself.
Himalayan Heights has a huge population of Tibetan & Nepalese. This can be see in New York's Himalayan food, which encompasses both Tibetan and Nepali cuisines. Though the area is known to have other Asian cuisine like Indian, Thai and Chinese, Himalayan food is typically less spicy, and uses traditional Tibetan and Nepalese ingredients like yak butter and Himalayan black salt.

If you’re looking for somewhere different to eat, a famous Tibetan momo (dumpling) shop is Lhasa Fast Food and is a small cart in the back of a now empty cell phone shop. You can also engulf yourself in the culture of the neighborhood and check out some of the local stores, which sell saris & Bollywood DVDs.
