If your goal when visiting New York is to experience what makes the city so interesting and diverse, then you'll really want to explore some of these ethnic enclaves, with unique foods and cultures from around the world.

Here are a few places to discover the Big Apple culture.

 

russian

Russians have been immigrating to New York since the XNUMXth century. Many of them ended up in southern Brooklyn, and the Russian and Ukrainian enclave in Brighton Beach and its environs were eventually nicknamed Little Odessa. Here you can stroll along the boardwalk and drop by for a snack in Tatiana Grill, taste good Russian dishes and enjoy views of the Atlantic Ocean.

To sample Eastern European goodies, head to Brighton Bazaar. You can walk along the photogenic blue footbridge across Ocean Avenue to nearby Sheepshead Bay, where you will find even more post-Soviet stores.

If you ever get tired of this whole walk, take a break and relax in the Russian Baths of Brooklyn.

 

Korean

The Korean town (or K-Town) is located in downtown Manhattan. Most of it is located on 32nd Street between Broadway and 5th Avenue. But do not let this small geographical area fool you: many of its establishments are not located at street level. On the second and even seventh floors of the surrounding buildings you will find Korean restaurants, bars and lounges, which can be reached by stairs and elevators.

Most Korean barbecue clubs where you grill meat right at your table are open until very late, if not 24/7, such as miss KOREA. This means that in between shopping there is always the opportunity to eat, drink in the favorite Korean Pocha 32 pub or sing in a karaoke salon like Gagopa.

 

Italian

Italians have long been associated with old New York. Movies and some guidebooks may take you to Little Italy in lower Manhattan, home of the Feast of San Gennaro, celebrated in September. However, the Italian community is much larger than it seems. In the Bensonhurst neighborhood of south Brooklyn, you'll find L&B Spumoni Gardens, one of the best pizzerias in New York City; Here they make square-shaped pies in the Sicilian style.

And fans of actors De Niro and Joe Pesci know that the real Little Italy is in the Bronx - in and around the Belmont area on Arthur Avenue. Here, Italian and Italian-American families still make food the old fashioned way, from award-winning handmade mozzarella at Casa Della Mozzarella to made-to-order cannoli at Artuso Pastry Shop to cured meats at the Calabria Pork Store, home of the famous " sausage chandelier."

 

South asian

Immigrants from the countries of the Indian subcontinent - Indians, Pakistanis, Nepalese - live in the community of Jackson Heights, Queens, affectionately nicknamed Little India. Here you will find stores such as India Sari Palace, which sells Indian clothing; numerous stores selling Bollywood films; or the bustling Indian supermarket Patel Brothers.

If you're hungry, try the award-winning Himalayan dumplings at Nepali Bhanchha Ghar or Indian cuisine at the famous Jackson Diner diner. Since 1980, the Anglo restaurant has been a culinary establishment offering dishes from northern and southern India, and even politicians and celebrities are attracted to its modest space.

 

Latino

It is often said that there are more Puerto Ricans in New York than in the American commonwealth from which they come. Nuyoricans, as they call themselves, are apparently not the only Latinos in New York. There is a friendly rivalry between Puerto Ricans and the other large Caribbean Latino community, the Dominicans. They live harmoniously with Mexicans, Cubans and other Latinos in concentrated areas of the south Bronx, Corona in Queens, Manhattan's Washington Heights and East Harlem, also known as Spanish Harlem or El Barrio.

Uptown, just north of Washington Heights, is La Casa del Mofongo, an all-day restaurant that serves Dominican cuisine as well as mofongo, a Puerto Rican dish made with fried plantains.

If you're in town on the second Sunday in June, you can enjoy all the Nuyorican cuisine at the Puerto Rican Day Parade, one of the largest in New York City. Dominicans hold their own parade on the second Sunday of every August.

 

West indian

Non-Hispanic Caribbeans, including Jamaicans, Trinidadians, Haitians and Guyanese, make up a large part of New York's collective immigrant community, bringing their own food and music cultures to the community. Jamaican-inspired Negril Village in Manhattan's Greenwich Village offers both in their two-level environment: one level for dining in pan-Caribbean, mostly Jamaican-centric cuisine; the other is for enjoying the reggae playing in his Rhum Lounge.

In the vicinity of Queens, Ozone Park and Richmond Hill (also known as Little Guyana), where diners such as Singh's Roti Shop serve Caribbean dishes with South Asian Indian influence, and in their vicinity you can find authentic Indo-Caribbean dishes .

The experience of western India extends to many remote areas, including Flatbusch and Canersee in Brooklyn, as well as Queens Village and Jameika in Queens. But everyone gets together to go through Brooklyn's Crown Heights for a big West Indian Carnival parade. This spectacle with sumptuous costumes, dances and food can be seen every September on Labor Day.
