Jackson Heights

Went romping around Jackson heights yesterday to do some neighborhood exploration.  Parts of the neighborhood are very Indian, while other parts are very Latino.  There is delicious smelling food everywhere.  First food stop was for a snack at a taco truck.  Can't beat $2 for a sizable chorizo taco.

Second food stop was at the Himalayan Yak, a restaurant advertising primarily Tibetan and Nepali food.  We tried the Shapta (chili beef) and a vegetarian Thali.  The chili beef was pretty good, the Thali was nothing to write home about.

 

Last stop was at Lety's Bakery, where everyone had rave reviews of the almond cheesecake.  They certainly gave a generous portion, and the cheesecake was good, although there wasn't much of an almond flavor to it.
