Elmhurst, Queens
Elmhurst, Queens, is a modest but diverse area bursting with culture, especially of the culinary variety. Bites from China, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia are never far away, and a recent visit to a counter-service spot serving banh mi (a Vietnamese sandwich) was enough to keep us coming back. Discover a variety of entertainment gems, including a gritty metal-rock venue near a cozier, more familiar Irish pub that offers karaoke.
