NEIGHBOURHOOD
(btwn Roosevelt & 34th Aves, from 70th to 90th Sts; E, F/V, R to Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Ave)
A fascinating mix of Indian and South American (Roosevelt Ave) cultures, this is the
place to purchase saris and 22-karat gold, dine on South Indian
masala dosas -
huge,
paper-thin rice crepes folded around flavorful mixtures of masala potatoes, peas, cilantro
and other earthy treats - and continue on with a plate of Colombian arepas (corn pan-
cakes), a bite of Argentine empanadas and a cocktail at one of several Latin gay and les-
bian bars, several of which line the main drag of Broadway.
