The City that never sleeps (NYC)

Coney Island AKA Little Pakistan (for some reason i never liked the place, it always felt depressing to me)

Park Slope (one of my favorite neighborhoods in NYC)

^ I've been there in Coney Island (so called "Little Pakistan"). There is not much to do there except eat. Jackson Heights in Queens is better and has a lot of Pakistanis.

Jackson Heights is now mostly Bangladeshi and indian, i don't see that many Pakistanis there anymore, the same for Hillside Ave. in Queens, it used to be majority Afghan and Pakistani, now the indians and Bangladeshis took over mostly.

In which city do you live?

Not too far from NYC.

Yes Pakistani-Americans are very low-key. They should make that Coney Island place like China-Town and Little Italy. No one outside the Pakistani community knows about Coney Island.

Yes you are right. Bangladeshis are taking over Jackson Heights. I went to Jackson Heights 3 years ago and ate at Kabab King with my friends. Good food.

Bay Ridge, also one of the best neighborhoods in NYC

^ Bay Ridge has mostly Arabs. Not many Pakistanis there.

True, but it also has many Eastern Europeans and Italians as well alongside Palestinians and Egyptians.

I can't really find much and the ones that i do find they are tagged with "terrorism" etc..... But i will continue to try.

We Pakistanis need to make our culture more distinct so that it becomes more attractive and noticeable, unfortunately with the current image of Pakistan nobody wants to associate themselves with Pakistanis or even take notice of Pakistan and its culture.

I remember one guy said that when he asked a New Yorker on the street where the Statue of Liberty was, the guy pointed to his dick.

Hahahahahaha.

I love Little Italy & Chinatown: they have real character. It's also great fun walking/biking on the Brooklyn Bridge with friends. Generally, SOHO & parts of downtown Manhattan are great. I love Chelsea. Parts of downtown Manhattan like Christopher Street are really gritty, & I used to go there for Halloween parties every year. Places like Wall Street, WTC, WFC are fine, but they don't have any real character. Much like mid-town Manhattan, it's a bit plastic there. Not a fan of Little Korea. Central Park is a bit too commercial as well. I like uptown Manhattan more than midtown as well. I don't know how many people are into museums, but the Guggenheim, National History Museum, Museum of Modern Art, Met are pretty cool too. And Apollo Center & Harlem has got to be one of my favorite places as well (beware: if you're meeting up with a pot dealer there, they have secret cameras there & you can be busted. The safest place to get pot in the city would be in SOHO, at one of the stores).

In the 70s & 80s, the city had real grit: it was almost as if it came out of a **** movie (see Amy Winehouse's videos). People used to sex & orgy each other out. Now it's all cleaned up & commercial.

Jackson Heights I hear is one nasty place, full of peasant class "desis" from Bangladesh and Hindustan. The area I hear is crime ridden. Most of the whites have moved out of the area, since the arrival of these groups.

Many of the 'true natives' of Queens have moved to Long Island.
