What she describes is not just diversity, but energy. The feeling of moving through cultures, cuisines, and conversations in the span of a single walk.\nFrom favorite meals to the sense that the world somehow converges here, this is a story about a neighborhood that continues to pull you back.\nThis episode is in Italian.An English translation is included below.\nHi, I’m Valentina. I’m from Treviso. I lived in New York for five years, and now I live in Miami. Jackson Heights is a place I’ve always kept in my heart because it’s truly multicultural.\nThere’s a strong energy that comes from having people from so many different cultures. In just one street, you can go from India to Asia almost instantly.\nMy favorite place is Las Margaritas, where I had exceptional fajitas that stay in my heart every time I come back to New York. Whenever we return to Jackson Heights to visit our friends, we always go there to eat.\nHonestly, it’s a place where I would live, because to me it feels like the center of the world.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/j60CGeL7RJlzfbZy2TLIdL_H6uy50eyMBWC14ZVAJlk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85MDFi/NTZlN2QxNDRjZTBj/OTlmMmI3YmY5NWYy/NTAwNy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
