NYC Metro area brehs, Queens is really like that? When you watch movies & TV shows that take place in NYC, they usually only take place in Manhatten or Brooklyn. So I really don't know how the other 3 burroughs are like.
Harlem is black on the west. The east side is Spanish Harlem. Washington Heights is mostly Hispanic. My area is mostly white on the west side with Ricans and Dominicans in the east. You know the racial make up easily when you see it.
In Queens you'll see a block with a group of Indians and their restaurants. The next block is Mexican. Greeks on the next block. Black and Hispanics, etc. There's blocks with an Indian restaurant next to a Mexican restaurant next to a halal restaurant. It's confusing as hell. I was looking at apartments there and couldn't tell if I was in the right part of town
