Today I left Manhattan and spent some time in the borough better known as Queens. I really like Queens! First I went to 5 Pointz, which is a huge building covered with graffiti art from local and international artists. Across from 5 Pointz is PS1, a contemporary art museum housed in an old school building. PS1 is a three story brick building complete with old creaky wooden floors. The museum had a maze like quality with lots of rooms, displaying art of all different mediums.
After tripping out on modern art for a couple of hours, it was lunch time. I hopped on the train to Jackson Heights, a neighborhood where Indian and Latin American culture mix and mingle. There was taco trucks and Cumbia music blasting on one block and then I'd turn the corner only to be confronted with sari shops and the lovely smell of Indian spices. After surveying several restaurants, I settled on a yummy Indian buffet for lunch. It was a good day.
