TOUR OF JACKSON HEIGHTS
Saturday, April 16, noon
"The City" Area of Study is offering a tour of the dynamic neighborhood of Jackson Heights, home of the most diverse population in the U.S., according to the most recent census. We will meet at Alankar Jewelers, "the most glamorous showroom in U.S.A.," at 37-45 74th Street in Queens on Saturday, April 16, at noon. (Take the E, F, G, R, V, or 7 to 74th Street/Roosevelt Avenue. Alankar Jewelers is just a half a block from the subway station.) Bill Menking, our tour guide, will walk us around the neighborhood for an hour or so and then we'll have lunch at one of the many delicious Indian restaurants.
For those who want to journey with others from the New School, a group will be setting out from the 66 W. 12th St. building at 11:15.
Please RSVP to Julia Foulkes, foulkesj@newschool.edu, and send any questions to her as well.
