Summary
This guided walking tour briefly explores the landmarked historic district within Jackson Heights before heading to Roosevelt Avenue and Junction Boulevard, a corridor shaped by Latin American businesses, food, and music. While historic buildings remain protected, the presence of street vendors has been a point of debate, as they navigate New York City's permitting system, crowded sidewalks, and shifting regulations. They represent a socioeconomic legacy found in major cities worldwide, raising questions about the right to space and preservation of culture in an urban context. This mile-long walk includes a stop before Junction Blvd for those who prefer to bypass vendor areas. Wear comfortable shoes, bring water, and cash if you wish to make a purchase along the way.
