NYC Walk : Jackson Heights & Corona, Queens via Roosevelt Avenue in December 2022

I take a walk in NYC in the neighborhoods of Jackson Heights & Corona, Queens along Roosevelt Avenue. This area is home to the most diverse population in NYC, featuring many restaurants, food markets, cultural stores, and a transportation hub. I start off at the 103rd Street - Corona Plaza Subway Station and walk to 74th Street - Broadway.

Gotta love how diverse the city is. You basically walked from Central America to India.

[@ActionKid]

I agree with you, this is the most diverse part of the city.

[@louisetregomorgan4907]

There's something about NY I love the most .The people and how they go about there daily lives .

[@ActionKid]

You have the same feeling that I do

[@JSurvivor_NYC]

I was born in Jackson Heights in 1978 raised in East Elmhurst and live in Corona. But I can always say I lived by the 7 train since I been born. Always close to Roosevelt Avenue. Don’t care what people might say about this part of Queens but this is my home and it will always be my home. ❤

[@bobainsworth5057]

This is what's so great about NYC . It's all little tight knit neighborhoods . How can you not feel at home when you have all these people and cultures all around us? Boy I miss it.

[@javierperezbarreto4229]

Love it, doesn't get more real than this. The most diverse street in the world I heard. Over 300 languages spoken.

What I really crazy about New York is it's diverse culture which is immersive!!! So cool!!

It's so fascinating to see the elevated subway platform and the lively neighborhoods below. It was nice to see the local shops, restaurants, and street vendors and people doing their daily activities. 😃 Thank you for sharing this ASMR walk, AK! 🤗

Wow. I just moved to New York few days ago on January 1st and got a room in Jackson heights where it’s been my first home in New York. I’ve been a fan of your videos since I started to think of moving to New York. Glad to see you were doing one of your videos so close to me 4 hours ago. Happy new year!!!

Kinda awesome to see lively people and all the spots which I guess really worth visiting!

[@vitomcsween974]

I always love Jackson Heights particularly the 74th Street area it's so populated with many stores easy access to LaGuardia airport by the Q70 Brooklyn Queens Expressway lot of restaurants nearby like that pizza Place and Wendy's also an easy ride to the rockaways when you think about it majority of buses have easy access to the furthest area of Queens which makes Jackson Heights a very good neighborhood

[@ActionKid]

There's so much to see in Jackson Heights, I love taking a walk through here

Jackson Heights/Elmhurst was where I lived. Thanks for the walk around the area! Missing NY.

I went to high school in east Elmhurst .... monsignor mcclancy memorial high school....back in the early 80s

I grew up in this neighborhood , but there was no graffiti and no trash in the streets. 50+ years ago.

Now is like jungle. All those peoples one top of others. I mean in the apartment.

[@hdguy350]

I don’t know where you grew up but I grew up in the same area and there was plenty of graffiti and trash during the 70’s, even more than there is now. In fact when I watch these videos I’m amazed at how much the city has been cleaned up since I was a kid.

[@focuseddrew8737]

@@hdguy350 Right I spent alot of time in Corona in the 70s. I think it is worse then.

[@anonthenon196]

Late comment, but I've heard that Corona was formally an Italian neighborhood. Is that right? I do see some Italian restaurants around Corona ave and 108th st, but it's all Hispanic in Corona overall.

I grew up in this neighborhood in the early 70s....it's changed a lot ..... I went to our lady of the blessed sacrament k-8 near 94th street where I lived
