Jackson Heights

Summer heat has moved into the city, yet while the adults are trying to install fans and air conditioners on June 1, the local kids in Jackson Heights, Queens, had their own idea of keeping cool.

Momos, or Himalayan dumplings, are quietly becoming one the most popular dishes in Queens.
